Thai Traditional Massage

The Traditional Medical Massage of Thailand, more commonly known as 'Thai Massage', is one of the world’s oldest healing modalities. It originated in India over 2500 years ago and was brought to this part of the world by a saint named Doctor Shivago Komarpahj. He was a contemporary of Buddha and many believe he was a personal physician to the King of India. With the spread of Buddhism this traditional way of healing also spread. During the early period it got widely popular in Southeast Asia as well as in China and Tibet and for centuries it was performed by monks as an element of indigenous Ayurvedic Healing.
Thai Traditional Massage has fundamental Massage points called 'Sen' which has all the energy line. There are 10 main Sen of which 6 originates from the leg which is a secondary important point for the control of the whole body. Massage points or energy line is controlled together with Prana or Breath. It helps to relieve fatigue, muscular cramping and nervous tension. It also helps in stimulating the blood and lymph circulation for physical fitness so as to improve body immunity. Thai Traditional Massage is similar in many ways to 'Yoga' since Thai Massage uses two primary procedures i.e. to apply gentle pressure with the hands and feet and a wide variety of passive stretching movements making it as effective as Yoga. Thai Traditional Massage has a custom to do 'Wai' before beginning the Massage. It's an old age Buddhist tradition to pay respect to the opposite person and also to summon up the personal energy to concentrate on the condition of the individual.

Foot Reflexology

Foot Reflexology Also known as Reflex Zone Therapy, it is a type of Foot Massage that is meant for more than just feeling good. Where a basic Foot Massage has particular strokes that are solely meant to relax the feet as well as the person, Foot Reflexology is meant to increase the health and well being in the whole body. It's a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance.
Reflexology is a serious advance in the health field and should not be confused with Massage. The underlying theory behind teaching reflexology in our school is that there are 'reflex' areas on the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body. Based on the idea that all nerve zones begin in the feet, foot reflexology is thought to cure many ailments. By massaging certain areas of the foot, and applying certain pressures and strokes to particular areas, a practitioner of reflex zone therapy can provide many benefits. For example:

The tips of the toes reflect the head, the heart and chest are around the ball of the foot the liver, pancreas and kidney are in the arch of the foot.
Lower back and intestines are towards the heel.

Therefore 'Reflexology' is a unique modality in the health field. Its purpose is not to treat or diagnose for any specific medical disorder, but to promote better health and well being in the same way as an exercise or diet program does. It has no side-effects since it is completely a natural therapy used to keep body healthy and increase longevity of life.

Face Massage (Facial)

One of the outstanding services provided by our school is the 'Facial Massage' which uses natural ingredient such as tamarind which is known for its proven benefits for the skin hence making it more vibrant and beautiful. Healthy and glowing skin is one of the most important beauty assets. It doesn’t matter how light your skin if it looks sallow and pale. You will only look drawn, tired out and exhausted. Most of us concentrate on trying to get our complexions pimple-free, or on lightening our skin. However, just a light and pimple-free complexion does not ensure good looks. Enhancing features with make-up does help, but nothing looks as good as healthy and glowing skin. Massage stimulates circulation and brings more oxygen to the face. It also stimulates the production of collagen and tightens the skin. It also delays the onset of wrinkles. In addition, wrinkles on the forehead are often caused due to involuntary tightening of the muscles. Massage relaxes the muscles, and delays the formation of forehead wrinkles.

Detoxification (Inner Purification)

There is little doubt that our environment is polluted with toxins and harmful substances. One of the keys of anti-aging is to identify useful ways to detoxify our exposure to toxic surrounding elements including our air, water and food. The reason is simple - the more toxins you ingest, the faster you age. The concepts of internal cleansing and detoxification have been around for centuries. Detoxification of the body refers to the cleansing of the bowels, kidneys, lungs, the liver and the blood since these are the organs involved in the detoxification of chemicals and toxins from the body. These can be broadly classified into the following categories:

Heavy metals toxins Liver toxins Microbial toxins
