From both a general health and neurological health perspective, addressing an Omega-3 deficiency in the body is essential. These vital fatty acids are key building blocks for brain cells, helping support cognitive function, mood regulation, and nerve communication while also reducing inflammation. As neuro-reflexology practitioners, we recognise that the body’s ability to respond and heal is deeply influenced by its nutritional environment. That’s why we recommend that our clients support their sessions by giving their bodies the best possible foundation—creating the internal balance and nourishment needed to enhance the neurological and systemic benefits of our work.
Have you heard about Eqology?? It is a sustainability-focused Norwegian company renowned for producing and distributing high-quality, pure Arctic oil and Marine Collagen, and a small range of nutritional supplements to support our health.
Sourced from the deep waters of the Norwegian fjords—thus avoiding heavy metal contaminants—these nutrients are processed immediately on the fishing vessels, and bottled onshore nearby, to prevent oxidation and preserve their potency.
Omega-3 fatty acids offer a wide range of health benefits and are vital for many bodily functions, yet many people are deficient due to modern dietary habits. These essential fats—primarily EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid)—are known to contribute to:
- Cardiovascular health: Supporting heart function, healthy blood pressure, and balanced cholesterol levels
- Brain health: DHA is a key building block of the brain, enhancing cognitive functions such as memory and focus. It is also beneficial for ADHD, bipolar disorders, and is important for foetal and infant brain development
- Anti-inflammatory effects: Promoting joint health, flexibility, and mobility, while helping to reduce pain and stiffness
- Eye health: DHA is a major structural component of the retina, helping to reduce the risk of macular degeneration and maintain healthy vision
- Immune and gut health: Supporting the complex immune system as well as gut health, and potentially reducing the risk of autoimmune diseases, including MS
- Skin and fascia health: Contributing to healthy skin and connective tissue
- Hormonal balance: Essential for the whole endocrine system, & especially important for women during pregnancy and menopause
- Cellular health: Supporting overall cellular function and maintaining cell membrane integrity
