Aromatic Herbal Steam
Aromatic Herbal Steam is a spa treatment performed by spending quality time in our affiliated spa's Lanna Steam Room with herbal steam from the boiled aromatics and herbs. The procedure focuses on opening skin pores and detoxify the body; hence, resulting in effective skin rejuvenation.
Traditional Thai Massage
Traditional Thai Massage has always been a must-try on the list when you visit Thailand. The massage focuses on stretching and massaging deep tissues using a little more than usual pressure along the meridian lines of the body to ease muscle and joint tension. As this procedure requires a firm grip and is a more intense form, no oil will be used.
Aromatherapy Oil Massage
Aromatherapy oil massage, similar to hot oil massage, is a soothing procedure that helps to reduce muscle tension as well as toning and conditioning them. Other than having effects on the muscles, the oil cleanses and freshens your skin; it also enhances skin moisture as well as softening.
What is different from hot oil massage is that this procedure utilizes natural essential oil for the massage. Essential oils, in general, promote healing, well-being, and relaxation. Essential oils are different from other oil as they have unique scents and distinct functions, mainly play important role in stress-reducing, anxiety reliever, also in helping your body conditions as to how you may have heard that lavender helps with good sleep.
How Aromatic Herbal Steam Works
The treatment is for removing toxins from the body and to relieve pain. Herbal leaves and roots are boiled and the steam is passed through the body through pores, hence toxins are removed.
How Traditional Thai Massage Works
The procedure focuses on muscles stretching and applying pressures to specific points without using oil. This helps to release body tension and at the same time increases vitality and supports better flexibility. Moreover, the massage provides overall wellness by helping in releasing of toxins, stimulating blood flow, body realigning, and restoring suppleness.
How Aromatherapy Oil Massage Works
Aromatherapy oil massage adapts Swedish massage therapy with massage oil or lotion that is consisted of essential oils in high concentration.
