Health Spa in Phuket
A 3 STEP
SYSTEM
An
individual’s sense of well being is not just a matter of looking after the
physical body. The mind and spirit must also be nurtured and cared for.
The ritual of regular herbal Spa treatments is a traditional eastern way
to facilitate this process of well being and to awaken a greater awareness
of the link between the mental and bodily processes. The 3 step Phuket Health Spa
experience starts with the guest drinking a fresh infusion of herbal tea,
followed by the steam room and massage and, in the space of 2 hours,
emerge revitalised, calmed and focused.
Step
1, Herbal Steam Room
A herbal steam sauna room is not as
hot as most common saunas, 35c-45c or 95f-110f. Guests stay in the sauna
for short periods of 5-10 minutes each, this period is long enough for
vapours from the theraputic oils to be carried into the blood stream,
which medical opinion states is the best and quickest method of gaining
benefits of the essential oils contained therein. The aromatic steam is
created by infusing a special combination of fresh herbs and essences into
a custom designed boiler. The steam is then piped into the sauna room.
Step
2, Cooling and relaxing
Dip in a cooling plunge pool and
relax in the quiet area whilst enjoying fresh fruit juices.after each
session, take a cooling dip in our plunge pool. Drink plenty of water and
fresh fruit juices to replenish the body’s sugar levels and lie down on
one of our wooden beds. The ambience is restful and unobtrusive, with
suitable restful music, the aroma of fragrant oils in a garden setting
with flowing waterfalls and flowering plants. No distractions like tv’s
are allowed. This is a time for working on yourself. The heart rate has
time to drop and your breathing becomes fuller and more rhymic. The
process must be repeated up to 5 times to allow a minimum total of 20
minutes of herbal inhalation.
Step
3, The Traditional Thai Massage
The style of massage used by us is
based on centuries old Thai traditions and yoga techniques learned at the
Wat Po temple in Bangkok. Thai style massages focus on realigning the
muscular and energy pathways in the body, unlocking tense shoulder and
neck muscles and providing relief to guests with lower back disorders. The
technique is a combination of pressure points and working the bodies skin
tissue and muscle areas with particular attention to legs and feet. We
spend most of our day standing and our feet are our contact point to the
earth. Essential oils are used to enhance the theraputic effects in
particular Prai, Ylang Ylang and Wild Mint. Guests lie on a traditional
thai cushioned mattress during massage.
