SYRACUSE — “It always smells good in here,” said someone attending the photo announcing Adventures in Health had been selected as the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce Member of the Month. The photo was taken Wednesday, July 9, a week after the business’s 26th anniversary of moving from Chris and Gena Swihart’s home to its current location at 507 N. Huntington St., Syracuse.

Gena started the business in 1991 and it moved to the Huntington location in 1999.

“We really want everyone healthy. That’s what we work toward; having people on track,” she said.

Adventures in Health is a natural health center offering a variety of services that assist people in helping themselves toward a lifetime of wellness. Some of the services offered include biofeedback therapy, massage therapy and ion cleanse foot detox. It also carries a wide assortment of herbal supplements.

Biofeedback is used to analyze points of stress in the body, which can significantly help isolate the actual cause of a physical problem. Adventures in Health’s biofeedback technology can help a client balance stress through energetic feedback and will also provide a great deal of information clients can use to support their body physically, emotionally and intellectually.

Massage therapy can be used to relieve pain, relax and tone the body. Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system, improving the elimination of waste throughout the body. Adventures in Health has only state-certified therapists on staff.

The ion-cleanse foot detox is a therapy that aids in the natural detoxification of the body. The way it works is a client’s feet are placed in a tub of warm water with an ionic array, which creates a magnetic field and alternates a positive and negative charge in the water. The charged toxins are then pulled from the body into the water.

Other services offered by Adventures in Health include Zyto Compass, craniosacral therapy, lymph drainage therapy, myofascial therapy, foot levelers and more.

In addition to Adventures in Health, the building houses three more businesses: Fresh Aesthetics, owned by Leigh Keirn, specializing in injectables, skin care and more; Salon Ash, owned by Ashlie Knisley, specializing in hair extensions, hair color and haircuts; and CC Permanent Cosmetics, owned by Cassie Correll. She specializes in microshading, lip blushing, eyeliner/eyebrow lamination, hybrid tinting and more.
