Henri Chenot – The Founding Father of the Wellness Movement
It all started 50 years ago and evolved around the vision and passion of Henri Chenot and his methods for disease prevention and health promotion, through detox treatments and lifestyle interventions.
An advocate of prevention rather than cure, Henri Chenot as early as the 1970s emphasised the importance of caring for and investing in our health and wellness from the earliest possible age. Chenot was early to see that we are in optimum health when our body, mind and spirit work in harmony and transmit a deep sense of peace and happiness. When this harmony breaks or is lacking, our body accumulates damage faster than it should, toxins build up and our health deteriorates.
Henri Chenot integrated health into wellness with a meaning of energy, efficiency, performance and vitality. He combined the latest scientific advances in Western medicine and diagnostics, with the best in Chinese healing and alternative medicines to create his revolutionary approach to promote wellness. This led to the development of the Chenot Method® of resetting the physiology of the body, which is now implemented in Chenot Palace as the core therapeutic approach.
Henri Chenot has passed away in December 2020.
