A color is not just a visual concept or image-it is a wavelength, a frequency, a pattern, activity or motion. Not only our sight, but our other senses as well, are enlivened by various motions or frequencies when we smell, taste, hear, and feel.

So, when we call our products by a color name, we are referring to the elemental qualities inherent to a particular frequency or pattern of motion-an inner motion that initiates a certain conscious state or way of seeing or moving—and we call those differing states "parts of ourselves", such as thinking, reflecting, acting or praying. Each color has a distinct effect on the senses, which is felt at the physical, mental, and emotional level. For instance, red creates a feeling of warmth, safety, and tenderness; blue a feeling of lightness, clarity and peace. As the senses quicken in response to the qualities in each color, we simply feel more complete, and begin to notice images, patterns, thoughts, and ideas that enrich, enlighten and bring resolution to that which we have felt before.

The Lab At Green Valley

The Green Valley Spa, has developed a simple method of caring for the skin that allows its natural sys­tems to function fully and efficiently, while giving a radiant, supple covering for the body to wear. For many years now, their spa guests have asked them to provide the unusual preparations they apply during their treatment sessions for use at home.

" In developing our desert herbal products, we have called upon the special knowledge of our Native American predecessors as well as modern scientific research. Each treatment involves a three-fold process of cleansing, releasing, repair and rejuvenation to accelerate the skin's performance level.

Because Good Medicine and Taking the Waters products are made here at Green Valley Spa from freshly gathered desert plants, fruits, vegetables, rainwater, fossilized salts, sand and sunlight, then formulated with an exacting process and bottled by hand with loving care - their simple wholesome goodness may seem homespun and bereft of exciting new scientific advances. However, do not be deceived by their nat­ural simplicity.

If fact, they contain many of the same properties and chemical compounds talked about in modern labo­ratory findings: alpha-hydroxy complex of fatty acids, delivery systems, vitamins and minerals, occurring "naturally" of course.

Our laboratory staff includes an ethnobotanist - a specialist in southwestern desert plants, an on-site expert in the medicinal qualities of herbs and flowers, organic formulations and a thorough understanding of the age-old spygeric process of separation and recombination.
