rejuvance, rejouvence, or rejouvenance ?

rejuvance
rejouvence
rejouvenance

Πρόκειται για όρους (προφανώς νεολογισμοί) οι οποίοι φαίνεται να έχουν καθιερωθεί στον χώρο της εναλλακτικής θεραπείας.
Βρίσκω παντού αναφορές στο διαδίκτυο, αλλά δεν τους έχω εντοπίσει σε κανένα λεξικό ή ηλεκτρονική εγκυκλοπαίδεια.

Όλες οι αναφορές λένε το ίδιο πράγμα.
Ότι είναι δηλαδή αναζωογόνηση: ενίσχυση, τόνωση ανάκτηση των φυσικών ή ψυχικών δυνάμεων του οργανισμού με διάφορες τεχνικές και μεθόδους και ειδικότερα μασάζ προσώπου – σύστημα που προφανώς αποδίδεται στο όνομα ελληνίδας: «Ilaira Bouratinos» (αλλά δεν βρήκα ούτε συγκεκριμένες αναφορές, ούτε στοιχεία).

Είναι οι «όροι» αποδεκτοί;
Ευχαριστώ.

Το ξέρω ως rejuvance αλλά βλέπω ότι δίνει αποτελέσματα κυρίως από Ελλάδα. Παίζει και το rejuvena. Βλέπε και http://vassiastherapy.gr/rejuvena_gr.html

All three terms (with "rejouvenance" a misspelling of "rejuvenance") are of course intentional (to avoid lawsuits) brand-name distortions of the real English word "rejuvenation," referring to restoration of youth.

Interesting...Thank you :-)

Επομένως μπορώ άνετα να χρησιμοποιήσω τον κατασκευασμένο, κυρίως από Ελλάδα όρο, «rejuvance» χωρίς να βρω τον μπελά μου...

The commonly used noun is 'rejuvenation'; there is a verb 'rejuvenesce' but neither 'rejuvenance' (unless it's in the mammoth OED) nor 'rejuvance' etc. are actual dictionary words. So if you're looking for a word to desribe the action of 'restoring youth' / 'revitalising', use 'rejuvenation' or the less common 'rejuvenescence' (Shorter OED).

"Rejuvance" is not a dictionary word (and, of course, it does not have to be); it is a coined word for a specific technique, as it can be ascertained from the links posted by the asker.

Thank you Spiros. Perhaps it will eventually be accepted in future dictionaries as other coined words have often been.

Let's all fervently hope not!  The real English word "rejuvenation" is more than enough ... ((-:

You can say that again!
But the real question is aren't we always creating new words which will become part of the language at some future time?

Brand names or technique names do not necessarily make it to the dictionary, but they can do. See the word hoover for example.

If it will, it will not be used as a substitute for "rejuvenation" but as a word describing the specific rejuvenation technique.
