Braña: Wellbeing through the wonderful world of the central nervous system
- Who was Sergio Lopez Braña: from war orphan to researcher
The personal and intellectual story of Sergio Lopez Braña, around whose figure the narrative path of the present volume revolves, is that of a man who was able to react to the tragic situation of being a war orphan, managing to redeem himself socially and achieve fulfillment in life, then choosing to devote his existence to research activity and helping people in need. This approach therefore rightly places this volume within the “Spirituality and Human Development” series.
- The Braña Method: a chromoreflexological approach
The “Braña Method,” a holistic healing method (one that considers the body as a “whole”) designed to give benefit by therapeutically traversing the pathways of the central nervous system, was in fact discovered and popularized by Sergio Lopez Braña in the late 1970s, coming to the aid of hundreds, if not thousands, of people, including well-known faces in culture and institutions, moving from its initial “discovery” to consolidation through many years of study and empirical research.
By refining his method, Lopez Braña was thus able to offer society a new, innovative and yet natural form of treatment….
- Phytocosmetic products and the founding of Chémèia Ltd
His strategy was to create an articulated and coordinated treatment, which would later also lead to the founding of Chémèia Srl, a company specializing in the creation of phyto-cosmetic products to go with the Braña method itself, founded in January 1990 by Barbara Lopez Braña, daughter of Sergio Lopez Braña.

The foreword by Paolo Gheda and the words of Francesco Alberoni
‘Lopez Braña’s social and intellectual commitment [….] nevertheless attests to the unshakeable integrity of the founder of the ‘Braña Method’ [….] ‘the undisputed recognition of the value of family and friendship, a willingness to take risks (not to gamble) and a sense of justice and humanity towards others’.’ This framework of values helps, from a historical perspective, to situate the legacy of Lopez Braña and his healing method within a broader context than that of a mere deterministic therapy, within a vision characterised by a consideration of the human being in their entirety and uniqueness, and ultimately one that is also convinced of the possibility of a spiritual dimension.” – Paolo Gheda
‘Although Braña often focuses on the muscular system, his theory is far-reaching and extends from the internal organs […] to the hair follicles. […] The Braña method, based on a comprehensive model of the central nervous system, is of great theoretical interest.’ – Francesco Alberoni
