Therapy Matters
I was here on a rather cold winter evening and was pleased when I was suggested the hot stone massage. This is a treatment that uses hot flat stones as part of the massage ritual and is available as a 60 or 90 minute option. After changing, Kim started the session with meditation and a foot cleaning ritual. This first step was the start of all things good as it immediately calmed my mind and sent me to a state of peace and quiet. After this I was asked to lie face down for the massage. Hansdhwani oil from Kama a combination of Ylang Ylan, Lemon and Basilin a rich Jojoba, Sesame and Sunflower oil base was used in this massage. Ylang Ylang is an effective antiseptic and a muscle relaxant. When combined with invigorating Lemon and distressing Basil essential oils, it creates an energizing blend that clears the mind and relieves fatigue. Checking with me if the level of pressure was okay, Kim ensured that all the tiredness in my muscles was released through the movements of her hands. Once the oil based massage was done, Kim repeated the same with warm flat stones that felt absolutely awesome. The stones are usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat. Hot stone massage therapy melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism. The hot stones also expand blood vessels, which encourages blood flow throughout the body. Interestingly my masseur used different hand techniques and synchronized movements like long strokes, circular movements, vibration, tapping and kneading to ensure that the massage loosened all the tough muscles. The procedure is repeated all across the body and feels completely therapeutic. After the 90 minute ritual, the 30 minute facial massage was ideal as I also went in for an oil based head massage that relaxed my mind completely. Post the session, a hot steam and shower and a nice cup of warm tea ensured that my day was well spent.
