Satin Laser Spa at Newfoundland & British Columbia

2012-01-29T08:07:00.000-08:00

A safe, painless, non-invasive way to remove unwanted cellulite and fat from the body and tighten lax skin.

The quest to reduce, remove or treat cellulite is one that has plagued women and men for eternity. Those afflicted with cellulite spend hundreds of dollars in a crusade to find a cure. Imagine if there was new technology able to break up and reduce the impact of cellulite on the body.

Using the innovative triple action of radio frequency technology, infrared light and rolling vacuum Satin Laser Spa is excited to offer clients non-surgical, non-invasive therapies, that safely and effectively reduce the appearance of unsightly cellulite, while tightening and rejuvenating lax skin.

Fight the Signs of Aging
The latest in IPL technology at Satin Laser Spa brings Skin Rejuvenation that is the safe, effective and painless method to achieve younger, healthier looking skin. Photofacial reduces fine lines and wrinkles by causing the skin to produce collagen and elastin which plumps and tightens the skin. You will see a reduction in pore size and an evening out of skin tone and texture as the PhotoFacial causes the skin to regenerate much faster. A completely non-invasive, non-abrasive treatment with no recovery time; simply walk in and out.

An excess of cellulite can harm self-confidence, much like romantic rejection or falling for your own Ponzi scheme. At Satin Laser Spa, certified skin specialists slim and tighten stubborn areas with laser liposuction. Infrared light and radio frequencies heat up subdermal tissues, kick-starting collagen production and improving circulation. The surge of cellular activity helps tighten sagging skin and smooth out creases caused by cellulite deposits and powernaps on computer keyboards. Next, a roving vacuum massages skin, increasing blood supply and revving up metabolism. The body’s lymphatic system then swoops in to dispose of up to an inch of fat.

Tru Spa
Downtown San Francisco, California Day Spa

Indulge all your senses at Tru, their downtown San Francisco hotel’s award-winning full-service day spa. A veritable oasis in the middle of the city, Tru will pamper you with everything from stimulating oxygen facials to relaxing body massages featuring colored light therapy.

For the truly adventurous, they recommend one of Tru’s signature “wet” treatments in the Tropical Rain Forest Room, which comes complete with jungle mist, tropical rain, and 100-gallon a minute waterfall. Standard spa fare includes manicures, pedicures, waxes, and peels. Special packages for couples are also available.

Many of today’s day spas are still designed around the traditional day spa concept of providing a full day of pampering. The vast majority of today’s spa goers, however, simply do not fit this mold. 90% of today’s spa goers are busy women who don’t have entire days to indulge themselves. Instead, they are simply trying to carve out a few hours. Although they welcome this respite from their hectic days, and pampering is part of this time out from their lives, first and foremost they are looking for a treatment that most effectively addresses their specific needs.

What is Gay Massage?

2012-01-29T04:54:00.000-08:00

Massage is not only a wonderful therapy. Massage can touch the very core of the sensual nature of both the one providing the healing touch, and the one who receives. Massage cannot help but involve the touch of strong hands on skin, and beneath that skin, on muscles and tissues manipulated for healing and stress reduction. for many, the therapuetic value of bodywork and massage are paramount, for others, the sensual value reigns. Even one whose only aim is to enhance sensuality canot help but benefit from from the resulting reduction in stress, physical and mental/emotional stress, with the inherent health benefits proceeding hand in hand with the elimination of this root cause of health debilitation.

What is Gay Massage?
Gay massage can involve any massage technique, its defining characteristic is that both participants, the masseur or massage therapist and the recipient are both gay or bisexual.

There are more than 200 varieties of massage and many thousands of practitioners who may use one, several or many methods. The techniques may include stroking, kneading, tapping, compression, vibration, rocking, friction, and pressure to muscles and/or soft tissues. The techniques can be non-forceful, passive or active movement, techniques the use of oils, lotions, and powders to reduce friction on the skin or to enhance the tactile experience.

Why Gay Massage?
Can a gay man fully experience the benefits of massage if the therapy involves hiding aspects of the self, or even of shame? It is hardly believable that it could, and as a result a significant segment has emerged of gay practicioners openly offering gay massage services to clientele. This open, shameless environment allows a gay man access to the full range of healing and stress reducing benefits of professional massage.

One of the most uncomfortable things can be getting a massage from someone you do not know. A perfect way to get a great massage is to choose a place that is accepting of your sexuality. Gay men and women often feel uncomfortable when around others that either suspect or know that they are homosexual as it is still not completely accepted within our society.

The massage therapist may feel uncomfortable giving a gay man or woman a massage. To bypass these sorts of awkward feelings it may be best to investigate gay and lesbian massage parlors in the area. There are several websites that are available and offer help in finding a massage parlor. Searching for the perfect place can be easy. It’s best to contact each place by phone before hand to ascertain if they offer the options of gay massage therapists.

There are online listings of massage parlors that are specifically designed to cater to gay and lesbian cliental. They specialize in making a customer feel comfortable within their surroundings, and relaxing, instead of dealing any social stigmatism that may be inferred in massage parlor that does not specifically cater to homosexual clients. The clients should always be made to feel most important because they are; if they are uncomfortable the chances that they will return to the establishment is less likely.

Client happiness should be the most important part of running a business and this includes massage parlors. If a client is happy, and well treated no matter their gender or sexuality that client is more likely to return to the parlor for another massage and more likely to spend more money with the company. The happier and calmer the client is when having a potentially embarrassing experience, the more a business will profit from it.

What is Tantric Massage & how is it performed?

2012-01-28T06:47:00.000-08:00

Tantric Massage Process

Massages stimulate the body in many ways providing many benefits such as improved blood circulation, muscle and tissue relaxation, improved mental alertness and lower blood pressure.

By stimulating certain points, the massage can increase your vitality, relieve common problems and make the recipient feel right as rain. The effects of just one massage are incredible and last very long. A tantric massage is not just a simple sensual therapy session; it is the art of releasing tension and attaining pleasure.

As you may or may not know there are various stages in any tantric journey. The stages are listed below.

1st stage ~
The first step in attaining ultimate pleasure is to lie on your back and let your mind drift into nothingness. Your Tantric Goddess will tell you about the proper breathing rhythms and how to properly connect as one. The feeling of comfort and pure bliss will be embedded into you as the hands of your Goddess nurture you.

2nd stage ~
Next, your entire body is awakened and your body’s energy is stimulated. Your mind will now be at war as to the explosion of sensations that you are feeling and what is within human comprehension. The longer you can sustain your body and mind, the longer you can enjoy all the effects and benefits that our tantric massage offered.

3rd stage ~
By now, you have reached the “point of inevitability” and you cannot control your emotions and your mind; you will probably want to explode. At this point, delaying your orgasm will allow you to achieve greater enjoyment.

4th stage ~
Since you have already reached the “point of inevitability” multiple times, you should know that our Goddesses have imparted an immensely powerful gift with you. You will now feel stronger lighter and sharper than ever before; almost God-like. It is our hope and our sincere wish that this gift is cherished forever.

5th stage ~
After experiencing one of the most sensual and awakening massages of all time, you can use it anytime you want. If the troubles of life ever build up to the point that you become depressed, stressed or develop a headache, simply recall the experience. The pleasure will come flooding back to you and make you feel whole again.

Benefits of Tantric Massage:
- Reduces stress
- Increase sexual vitality and energy
- Removes and reduce pain
- Improve blood circulation
- Strengthens Immune System
- Relax Body Muscle
- Induces sleep
- Removes fatigue
- Slow down ageing process

Thai Massage and Day Spa Brisbane

2012-01-28T04:25:00.000-08:00

Thai massage Brisbane
Many people today are over-worked, stressed out, and filled with feelings of anxiety and all-around unhappiness. If you are one of these people, you may have tried a massage in the best and been less than thrilled with the results. Many types of massage leave your muscles feeling tight and sore afterward, which certainly does not contribute to your desire to feel more healthy and relaxed. Many people who are looking for a different massage experience are making an appointment for a Thai massage Brisbane.

What Is a Thai Massage
You may be aware that there are different types of massage that you can get. There are deep tissue massages, Swedish massages, sports massages, and more. With a Thai massage Brisbane, you will be getting a treatment unlike any other. Often, this is a treatment available through a day spa Brisbane, and it incorporates aspects of both yoga and massage into an amazing experience that truly does leave you feeling relaxed, energized, and more healthy than before.

The Experience at Thai Massage Brisbane
Each facility will provide you with a slightly different Thai massage experience, but you will find that most of these sessions will take about one to two hours to complete. Most often, you will be fully clothed, and many facilities provide you with comfortable, loose fitting clothes that make you feel like you are at home in your pajamas. Then you will be taken into a Zen-like room that often features slightly darkened lighting. The relaxing experience may be enhanced through the use of incense-based aromatherapy. Often, you will be asked to lay down on a comfortable mat on the floor to begin your session.

Working With Your Masseuse
Your masseuse will guide you through various poses that work to stretch and relax your body, and this is in a fashion very similar to yoga. While you are in these various poses, the masseuse will apply both firm and soft pressure to various points on your body. These points are your energy points, and by targeting them, the masseuse works to improve the health and well-being of your body while also re-energizing it, too. The goal of the masseuse is not just to improve your health and well-being, but also to help you reach a Zen-like state where you feel peaceful and relaxed.

The Health Benefits
Thai massage has been used for many centuries to improve health and well-being, and its health effects have been well-noted. Because this type of massage is active, it encourages increased blood circulation and also works to improve digestion and the drainage of lymph nodes throughout your body. Many people find that it releases tension and stress, boosts the immune system, and promotes muscular and joint health, too. Overall, the benefits of a Thai massage Brisbane include physical, mental, and emotional benefits alike. Often, these are benefits that most people will want to enjoy repeatedly and on a regular basis in an effort to live a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

If you have made the decision to experience the health benefits associated with Thai massage, you will first want to locate a day spa Brisbane which offers this type of massage as a service. This is a unique type of massage that is unlike others available. Because it offers you physical, mental, and emotional benefits alike and truly does leave you feeling more energized, relaxed, and healthy, you may find that your first Thai massage will not be your last. Many people will book a massage treatment every few weeks or every month to enjoy the benefits of Thai massage on a regular basis.

Is massage supposed to hurt?

2012-01-28T03:21:00.000-08:00

Pressure is so subjective. Some people really like the firm pressure that “hurts so good,” and some do not. Tension should not be bullied out. There is always a certain amount of finesse about it, and not just brute strength. Speed and surface area have a lot to do with whether or not the pressure hurts or feels good. There is an edge to a muscle … between the muscle giving way and fighting back. The muscle should give way just ahead of the pressure like a melting butter pad. This is the “hurts so good” pressure. That amount of pressure is different for every person, so the trick is being able to feel that edge.

Can a Massage Help you Lose Weight?

2012-01-26T03:57:00.000-08:00

Physicians, dieticians, personal trainers and body sculpting professionals all agree that any healthy, risk-free, effective plan to lose weight involves both diet and exercise. While controlled diet and regular exercise directs the body’s proportions, exercise is primarily responsible for carving off previously gained weight. Just as bacon fat will only liquefy at warmer temperatures, body fat can only come off the body with physical activity. By enabling your client’s weight-loss program, massage is a perfect ally to a disciplined diet and exercise routine. Massage therapy supports exercise and weight loss in many ways, including:

1. Improves ability for physical activity
2. Reduces risk of injury
3. Increases metabolic rate
4. Reduces abdominal fat hormone
5. Physical bursting of fat capsule
6. Supports digestive functions
7. Rewards dedication and hard work

Improves Ability for Physical Activity
New research finds that massage therapy can actually enhance the effects of exercise. Orthopedist Dr. Jason Ford says, "I recommend massage therapy for my patients who only exercise a couple of times a week to help improve flexibility and blood flow but to also help them with the soreness and stiffness they experience after their exercise." Since massage increases oxygenation of muscle tissue, it helps sustain endurance and shorten recovery time. This allows muscles to maintain maximum power and performance when active, and burn the maximum number of calories in the process.

Reduces Risk of Injury
A well-known fact to professional athletes, massage also supports regular physical activity by preventing injuries. By stretching connective tissue, massage improves circulation and helps to prevent the break down of adhesions and scar tissue resulting from muscle tears and other common muscle injuries. Massage also influences the excretion of certain fluids (nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur) that aid in tissue repair. A prime suspect in unsuccessful weight-loss attempts is suffering from an injury that severely limits physical activity.

Increases Metabolic Rate
Metabolism is enhanced through the increased interchange of nutritive substances between blood and tissue cells that comes with healthy circulation. Maximizing the supply of nutrients and oxygen through increased blood flow allows muscles to burn more calories.

Reduces Abdominal Fat Hormone
Released in response to physical and emotional stress, the hormone cortisol has been shown to increase appetite and cause fat deposition in the abdominal area. While exercise is the best method for lowering cortisol levels, massage has been repeatedly proven to reduce circulating levels of this hormone. Massage’s ability to lower cortisol levels helps ease stress, decrease appetite and reduce accumulation of belly fat; all of which support a weight-loss program.

Physical Bursting of Fat Capsule
Massage may directly aid in fat loss. According to some research studies, vigorous massage can burst the fat capsules in subcutaneous tissue. This bursting causes adipose tissue to exude, setting the stage for its removal. Lymphatic drainage techniques are ideal near areas of deep tissue work to help the body accommodate, process and eliminate the toxins or fat just released. Only to be considered in combination with proper nutrition and exercise, bursting fat capsules may directly help in weight loss.

Supports Digestive Functions
A smoothly functioning digestive system is critical to achieving one’s target weight. Since supplying the body with the fuel it needs for energy, allocating fat for burning or storing and eliminating waste products all fall under the gastrointestinal system’s domain, making its health instrumental in body proportion and size. Massage therapists can promote digestive health through administering techniques such as belly massage and meridian (stomach, spleen and large intestine) bodywork.

Rewards Dedication and Hard Work
In addition to all of the physiological reasons massage therapy supports weight loss, bodywork also serves as an emotional motivator. Celebrating life’s accomplishments without sabotaging a slimmer waistline encourages sticking to a weight-loss program. Receiving regular massage is the ultimate and appropriate reward for dedication to body improvement. For a person struggling with their weight, looking forward to a scheduled massage serves as inspiration to eat properly and complete a challenging workout.

While massage therapy does not replace the standards of diet and exercise for losing weight, its addition to a weight-loss program can help to shed pounds.

How to Self Massage to give heat to your body?

2012-01-26T03:40:00.000-08:00

In winter, nothing is more unpleasant than the feeling of being cold. To remedy this, you need to pamper your extremities, the most exposed to chilly weather. Using just a few minutes of targeted self-massage you can help you body better cope with the cold.

Faces are in the line of fire, and hands and feet will also suffer straight away from the sharp drop in temperature. Finally, you must keep your stomach warm, which can start to feel the strain when it gets cold. And don’t forget your kidneys too, at the risk of letting the cold into your body’s core.

Here’s a 7 step guide of self-massage techniques to get warming energy circulating around your whole body, so you can beat the winter cold.

Energise your face before hitting the cold
One of our body’s worst enemies? Variations in temperature. Massaging the face will stimulate micro circulation, giving your face a protective shield of warmth before going out into the brisk morning air.

•Self-massage technique 1: Rub both hands together to start with, to warm them up. Put them on your cheeks, either side of your nose and gently rub them before moving upwards on your head. Move your hands behind your ears and then down the length your neck. Do this 5 times.

•Self-massage technique 2: Massage the sides of your nose, rubbing slightly on each side, using your middle finger. Work from the bottom to the top. Then finish by following the line of your brow out to the extremities of your eyebrows. Repeat this 5 times.

•Self-massage technique 3: Massage the ears between thumb and forefinger with 6 circular movements and then move down to the tip of your earlobe sliding with your thumb. Repeat 5 times.
Don’t forget: cover your head when you go outside, with a hat, beret or shawl! More than half of your body heat escapes from the top of your head.

Keep hands and feet warm during a cold day
The harsh change from hot to cold temperatures can upset micro-circulation. However, blood flows through your vital organs as a priority and will bypass the extremities… which get coldest first. To acclimatise to the cold and allow your body to move more easily between being uncovered to covered, pamper your hands and feet:

•Self-massage technique 4: Warm up your feet with a fast self-massage as socks or tights don’t actually make much difference to the warmth of your feet. The heat generated through this energy boost will spread through your entire body. You should start with the ends of your toes ideally. Then massage the whole of your instep firmly with the help of both thumbs and your palms. Carry out a movement which starts from the tips of your toes and ends at the heel. You will improve the flow of blood through veins and relieve any tension resulting from the cold.

•Self-massage technique 5: Intertwine your fingers and rub your palms together, one against the other. When you feel a tingling sensation, this is an indication of better blood circulation. Unfold your fingers and move on to smoothing, between your thumb and your forefinger. For this movement begin at the bottom of the hand and work towards the nail.
Warming up the body after a cold day
Even if it is protected by clothing, the body still needs to be kept warm. There are two strategic points to concentrate on at the end of a cold day; the stomach and the kidneys, which can react strongly to low temperatures. The goal here is to prevent yourself from catching cold.

•Self-massage technique 6: The stomach (the original cauldron of energy, in Chinese medicine) needs to be kept warm above all else, even more so as it dislikes the stress of the cold and this leads to various stomach complaints. It is very simple, over your jumper, put your hands one on top of the other, beneath the navel, and turn them clockwise. Do this 15 times.

•Self-massage technique 7: To warm up your kidneys, where our vital energy comes from, you can drum them a little with closed fists on either side at the base of your back. Around 50 of these quick little ‘taps’ will do, you will feel heat invading your pelvis. Once this is done, the cold won’t have such an easy route into your body!

I have compiled a list of all high end good quality massage & SPA services for you. Ask for the massage deals before you finalize.

The Four Fountains Spa - Koregaon Park:
The Four Fountains is a spa that offers various therapies like Harmonising Aromatherapy, Thai Meridian Therapy, Abhyangam, Age defying Facial and Body polishes. They have specially designed packages for men and women like Ladies Day Out and Gentleman's Retreat. You could also opt for membership.

A brainchild of IIT/IIM graduates Saurabh Garg, Arnab Mitra and Anurag Kedia apart from Sunil Rao from S P Jain Institute of Management and Research, Four Fountains has been positioned as a spa that provides therapy at reasonable rates.

Located at Koregaon Park, it has been named after the Four Fountains of Heaven, which represent youth, abundance, joy and tranquility. Beautifully decorated with Buddha molds and candles with splashes of color here and there, the spa has about seven rooms with a bathroom installed in each.

What you get - The spa has body polishes, body wraps, facials and many other packages for men and women. In world therapies they have the Swedish Therapy (Rs. 699 an hour) which is a deep tissue massage that uses firm but gentle pressure and is known to relax, improve circulation, ease muscle aches and tension.

They even have the Harmonizing aroma therapy (Rs. 799) which is essentially done with natural oils from flowers, herbs, leaves and fruits. From the Far East there is the Thai Meridian Therapy (Rs. 699) which is not an oil massage but takes into consideration Marma (energy) points. They also have thirty minute massages like comforting foot reflexology (Rs. 299) and back therapy (Rs. 399) to eliminate pain in those areas.

In Indian therapies, they have the Abhyangam (Rs. 699), which involves application of herbal oils using soft and gentle strokes in the downward direction. You could also give Shirodhara a try, where warm herbal oil is gently poured on the forehead (Rs. 1,299). This is said to help in curing fatigue, mental exhaustion, anxiety, insomnia, headache and nervousness.

They also have various facials (Rs. 749-899), body polishes (Rs. 899) and body wraps for Rs. 1,349 (body polish plus body mask). Their special package for men is interestingly called Gentleman’s Retreat (Rs. 2,149). Similarly the one for the women is called Ladies Day Out (Rs. 2,249).

Our verdict – MetroMela opted for the Ladies Day Out package, a 140-minute therapy which includes body polish, use of aromatherapy, body wrap and a facial. We noticed that there is sufficient care with respect to hygiene as they handed out disposable garments for use. Besides, we found the therapy relaxing and refreshing. As far as prices are concerned, members of the spa can avail special discounts. All in all, it’s a great attempt from the young turks. However, they could have more or just separate washrooms for men and women.

What is Full Body Massage? What you will get out of it? Whats are the misunderstandings around it?

2011-07-02T22:19:00.000-07:00

Full Body Massage is a very commonly used technique in massage therapies. It help in soothing one mentally and physically and relaxes and provides balance to the whole body.

The main purpose of a full body massage is to relax the body, stimulate and tone it, and at the same time relieve pain, and to achieve this different part of the body is stroked, pressed and kneaded. You can actually attain the same while the toxins that were trapped by the body get released, as your tired muscles get a full body massage.

A full body massage not only offers a pleasant sensation to the skin, the benefits of the massage may reach the deeper layer of the skin and is not limited to just soothing the skin and affecting the muscle right under the skin. You will generally feel a significant affect even on the organs of the body.

In addition, full body massage therapy programs also stimulates blood circulation & the body’s lymphatic system, which runs parallel to the circulatory system.

A full body massage therapy program includes massaging of every part of the body beginning from the head to the toe. The back needs the most time to get pampered in comparison to other parts of the body involved. The reason for this may be that maximum tension gets accumulated in the back and it is amongst the larger part of the body.

The neck and shoulders are amongst the other parts, apart from the back, that are in focus in a full body massage. More than other parts of the body, these parts are stressed on by the therapists as these are the general areas of tension and soreness. It provides a great pleasure if we get rid of the pain and tension from the shoulders and neck.

Similarly the chest part is of great importance in a full body massage therapy program. Just to make sure that the receiver is comfortable, generally the massage therapists keep changing their position time to time while massaging the chest. To get the receiver more in rhythm of the strokes they create, the therapists may even make use of their whole body.

The abdomen area is of great vulnerability to many people. When a therapist offering a full body massage is massaging this area of the body, he needs to work really gently and rhythmically, the pressure should only be increased when the receiver starts getting relaxed and secured.

The full body massage therapy program also requires pampering the lower parts of the body, including the feet and legs. These weight-bearing parts of the body shall get revitalized and eased of the tension and pain on getting massaged.

The face and head of the receiver also requires to be massaged as a part of the full body massage. For many it has been a pleasurable experience while others consider the amount of tension they hold here a little surprising, in particularly that of the area around the jaw. These areas often stay ignored, unlike other parts of the body in a full body massage.

Finally the areas that are used constantly throughout the day, arms and hands need to be massaged. A person experiences a better sense of well-being and feels relaxed with tension drifting away when these parts are massaged.

A full-body massage is just a way of saying that the therapist will massage your whole body during a therapeutic massage. This includes your back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, feet and hands (and for men, pecs). Most massages at spas will be full-body massages.

There are two exceptions -- one is if it's an express service, just 30 minutes instead of the usual 50 minutes or an hour. In that case the massage therapist might concentrate on one area, usually back, neck and shoulders, so you get more benefit.

The other is when you ask the therapist to concentrate on a specific area during the full-length massage. They take more time on that area, and usually skip or go very lightly over other areas.

Unfortunately, some "spas" that operate like the old "massage parlors" put out signs that say "full-body massage" as a way of indicate there will be some kind of sexual contact or "happy ending." This is illegal and an unethical use of the term full-body massage.

Very often people do misunderstand the term "full body massage". It doesn't mean to massage every single square centimeter of skin. It refers to a full massage, front side and back side, including head and feet. Due to professional ethics, the sexual zones, are never touched. A professional full body massage will never lead to sex. The only massages that lead to sex are the sensual massages that are received between partners for the sole purpose of sex. Those massages shouldn't be referred to as "full body massages," as the professional Massage Therapist uses this term for a typical massage.

A full body massage either starts on the back of the body or on the front. To guarantee an exceptional body treatment, a therapist will either start at the feet and work herself up to the head before turning the client, or she will start at the head and work herself down to the feet. The best starting point is always the head by having the client lay on his or her back. Only the massaged body part is uncovered; the rest is covered up to provide the person security. When starting with the head, the person will be able to see you and build trust, some important aspects to find relaxation and to start the process of rejuvenation.

A full body massage will only lead to sex if the person giving the massage will touch sensitive areas such as the breast, the vaginal areas or the area immediate to the sexual organs. During a professional massage, those areas are never to be touched, as they are not part of a therapeutic treatment. If the person giving the massage is offering the massage in the hopes of turning it into sex, he or she will know how to go about. The person receiving the massage will also feel his or her energy and will either respond by relaxing and enjoying it or by letting the person know that she or he just really wanted a therapeutic massage.

But to explain why massaging could lead to sex is very simple. If our goal is to have sex, then we most often will engage in foreplay. Sensual massages are an extended version of foreplay. Touching the skin very softly will stimulate the central nervous system. This will give the person a feeling of wellness and send them into a deeper stage of relaxation. Being massaged gently doesn't necessarily create a desire for sex. The sexual desire is awaken when sensitive areas around the sexual organs and chest are touched and massaged. It is also the way somebody gives the massage, maybe running the fingers through the hair, down the side of the neck, further down the side of the body. This would stimulate the sexual hormones, leaving them wanting more.

So why do full-body massages sometimes lead to sex? The giver won't be able to distinguish between a professional massage or a sensual massage. To him, massage means foreplay. As he touches the soft skin, he will get aroused. The person receiving the massage is looking forward to being massaged, as it will release the good-feel neurotransmitters (endorphins.) Unless she is only looking for a therapeutic massage, she will enjoy the gradual increase in stimulation which will then lead to sex.

So go with open mind & take full advantage of Full Body massage & get your body & mind completely relaxed & stress free. Happy Massaging!!!!

Body Massage & SPA in Colombo, Srilanka

2011-06-26T01:25:00.000-07:00

Some of the world’s magnificent spas are found in Sri Lanka.

Spa treatments offered by some of the hotels/establishments listed in this article are amazing and would provide the best chances for pampering your senses.

The hotels being strategically located in peaceful environment, make this an ideal getaway for those who are looking for an absolutely perfect relaxation with a blend of nature, comfort and luxury.

Sri Lanka is an island which defies convention as according to classic island bio-geographic theory, small islands don't have large mammals. Sri Lanka however is an exception as the largest terrestrial mammal in Asia, the Asian Elephant, is found on the island. Then there is the Big Spotted One; the leopard, elusive all over the world and almost impossible to see in most of Asia.

The casual visitor to Sri Lanka may enjoy the de-stressing and toning massages and herbal baths as part of a holiday pick-me-up. However, serious treatments must be taken over a period of weeks or months and will begin with a thorough medical review by a well-qualified specialist. It is claimed that many conditions can be alleviated or cured by Ayurveda, including arthritis, migraine, exhaustion, high blood pressure, depression, cystitis, asthma, nicotine and heroin addiction. Whilst there is no published evidence, many ayurveda patients extolling the virtues of its effects are post-operative and post-chemotherapy patients.

Colombo, Sri Lanka's largest city is very colourful, vibrant and the largest city as well as the commercial capital of Sri Lanka. An interesting mix of modern life and colonial ruins, Colombo is located on the west coast of the island and adjacent to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte.

North of the centre is the Fort district, the country's business centre. South is Galle Face Green, a seafront expanse of occasional green. East of the fort is the pungent Pettah bazaar district. The city is home to over 600,000 people.

Colombo has some interesting places that are a must for every visitor including the National Museum, the Art Gallery and the Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara - a temple to Buddha.

Here is a list of some good massage & spa options in Colombo. Hope you will get what you are looking for.

Azmaara Spas

“Relax, let your mind wonder where it may, leave this world for a while to take a journey. A journey of discovery from which you will return more aware – of yourself, your body and your inner beauty...”

Where will you embark on this journey? It has to be some place special, where the feeling is just right and the ambience soothing. A Spa. The very place. Everything perfect. You feel loved, cared for, like the entire experience has been created just for you.

It has been created for you, from the interior of each room to the flowers that are placed everywhere.

The story of Azmaara begins in the romantic Maldive islands, surrounded by the clear, blue sea. Here Spas are almost sacred, for those who work in them, it is a calling, not merely a job. And for you, the patron, is reserved the treatment of royalty. Envision this setting and you will know what inspired Azmaara. It was the same vision that traversed the minds of the Sri Lankan couple that founded the Company.

That Distinctive Azmaara Touch
A great deal of thought and research goes into every aspect of the Azmaara Spas, from the uniforms of the therapists, the design and ambience of each room to the manufacturing of products used in treatments. The Treatments are administered by therapists who have been selected from Universities in Indonesia and thereafter trained in our very own Academy in Bali.

Setting the Azmaara Spas apart from all the rest is the certification from the International Spa Association (ISPA) – USA, which ensures that in addition to all the beautiful elements mentioned above that go into the Spa, stringent and very high standards are maintained concerning quality. Currently open in the breathtakingly beautiful locations of Sri Lanka and the Maldives, more Azmaara Spas will be open worldwide very soon.

The Essence of Azmaara
Feel good, feel loved, feel beautiful, at Azmaara, and when you leave take these feelings with you. All the lovely products used in the Treatments are available in the Azmaara Spa Boutique located in all the Azmaara Spas.

The Azmaara Spa now operates in several exotic locations in Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

Sri Lanka – The tear-shaped island with a long history and rich cultural heritage is the picturesque setting for Azmaara. The warm hospitality and friendly smile that is an intrinsic characteristic of everything Sri Lankan is evident in every Azmaara Spa that opens, diverse though the islandwide locations may be.

The Maldives – Land of many isles surrounded by crystal blue waters. It is the home away from home for millions of tourists who spend days, weeks and even months there year round.

Bangkok & Thai Massage: An Unforgettable Experience

2011-06-25T23:59:00.000-07:00

Bangkok: A Land of Smiling faces

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand. It is the centre of politics, economy, education, culture, and transportation. A large number of tourists often travel to Bangkok because there are so many attractions to visit. The other attractions are the friendly people, wonderful culture. Thai people are very generous; it is a family based culture. It is said Bangkok is one of the safest cities to visit.

Bangkok is one of the fastest-growing, most economically dynamic cities in Southeast Asia. It is one of regional centers rivaling Singapore and Hong Kong. The World Meteorological Organization has dubbed Bangkok the world's hottest city. It is also one of the world's most popular tourist and photo destinations.

Bangkok is a fascinating mix of chaos and tranquility. Few people like the city at first sight - it seems too large, too noisy, too congested, and too crowded with people, buildings, and vehicles of all kind. However,you will find here - very often where you would least expect it - among all the noise and traffic quiet and shadowy
temple courtyards, peaceful alleys, lined by old teakwood houses, where time seems to have stood still,and the golden towers and Buddha statues of the city´s splendid temples and palaces. Take a temple tour! Or explore the famous Klongs with a slim longtail motor boat!

Bangkok is full of shopping malls and street markets of all types, especially in the Sukhumvit area. Prices can be ludicrously cheap by Western standards, especially for locally produced items such as clothes, although bargaining is expected and required.

Bangkok is a hit tourist destination with westerners and happens to be the top draw in Asia and the third most popular tourist destination in the world. Some of the major attractions and sights in Bangkok include WAT PHRA KAEW, WAT MAHATHAT, GRAND PALACE, VIMANMEK TEAK MANSION, ROYAL BARGES NATIONAL MUSEUM, QUEEN SAOVABHA MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, NATIONAL MUSEUM, LUMPHINI PARK, JIM THOMPSONS' HOUSE, ANCIENT CITY and ABHISEK DUSIT THRONE HALL.

Bangkok is also world famous for its spas and aroma healing techniques. Many westerners flock to Bangkok for spa tours and relaxing exotic massages which relieve all the stress and strain, drive away fatigue and exhaustion and chronic pain and leave the mind and body feeling rejuvenated and revivified.

Ancient healing techniques and exotic natural ingredients coupled with cutting edge modern technology combine to pack a new punch in the thriving spa and massage business in Bangkok.

If you are an epicurean, you will definitely fall in love with Bangkok for it offers everything from shopping, fine dining, luxury living, high society, living in style -in short Bangkok is an epicurean paradise. The mouthwatering cuisine will leave you asking for more.

Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, belongs to the land of tranquility and Zen like calm. Serene Temples pepper the whole city and would transport you to a land of inner peace, quietude and mental calm if you grace the patios of these beautiful Buddhist pagodas and temples. If you are searching for spiritual nirvana, Bangkok is the right place to be in. The other epithet for this sleepy city is VENICE OF THE EAST. Bangkok is not only a haven for those seeking spiritual direction, but it also boasts of a rich cultural heritage and a glorious historical past, both of which enhance the grandeur of the city.

The climate is influenced by seasonal monsoon. There are three main seasons; Rainy (May-October), Winter (November-January) and Summer (February-April). The average low temperature is approximately in low to mid 20 degree Celsius and high temperature in mid 30 degree Celsius.

For tourists, Bangkok has a feast of attractions to offer. The city is dotted with 400 glittering Buddhist temples of great beauty and fascination, magnificent palaces, classical dance extravaganzas, numerous shopping centres and traditional ways of life, especially along the "Venice of the East" timeless canals and the Chao Phraya River of the "River of Kings" winding through the city. It is worth taking a trip along its waters before exploring further into different canals to take a glimpse of old Bangkok.

The Thai cuisine can be ranked among the worlds best with an enourmous diversity in dishes. Rice is of course the main ingredient but western food is also widely available. When you just arrived in Thailand you will have to adjust to the Thai food, trust me don't go eating the most spicy curries straight away but gradually get used to them. Careful as it is a habit in Thailand to put entire chillies in the food, these are not for eating and remember: The smaller the chili the louder it will make you scream. Eating in Thailand is a social event, Thais therefore never order individual dishes but order a bunch of them and all share so if you don't like a certain dish you can safely switch.

The best overall time for visiting most of Thailand climate-wise is between November and February when it is not too wet and not too hot. The south is best visited when the rest of Thailand is miserably hot (March to May), and the north is best from mid-November to early December or when it starts warming up again in February. If you're spending time in Bangkok, be prepared to roast in April and do some wading in October - probably most challenging two months, weather-wise, in the capital.

THAI MASSAGE
Thai Massage originates in India, Thai massage techniques is a combination of guided stretching and Meridian pressure techniques with Pranayama breathing. This form of massagewas brought to Thailand by Dr Shivago K., in Buddah's timeabout some 2500 years ago. Pranayama breathing techniqueis meant for cleansing the body and strengthening ones nervous system. Pranayama breathing is also said to help in boosting the immune system, focusing, concentration,and more efficient oxidation of the blood. Massage is done on a mat or firm mattress on the floor. The recipientis made to practice yoga-like positions during the massage.At the end of the massgae, most recipients find Thai massagevery relaxing and refreshing.

Thai massage, with its ancient techniques created from the amalgamation of ayurvedic Indian massage and traditional Chinese massage, is commonly considered one of the world's most therapeutic massage mediums and is reputed to have a number of health benefits besides the immediate relaxing properties that its physical sensations provide.

A traditional Thai massage is taken dry; however, for varied sensation and benefits, oil or special herbs can be used. Oil massages differ in their approach from those given dry and are perhaps the most relaxing and the closest in technique to western massage styles. If you are at all frail or delicate, then an oil massage is a preferable medium.

When you get the thai massage for the first time, maybe you can get exhausted the next morning. This is also natural, because the blocked "poison" is now released into your blood stream and if this amount of poison is too much, you can get extremely fatigue next day. But of course, it will be gone just 1 or 2 days. After that you can enjoy thai massage again, and after this, you will not have such fatigue any more. Experts recommend you to have massage not everyday, but 2-3 times per week. If you actively retain to get thai massage every week, you can feel refreshed always. That's the common secret of many old Europeans who retired to Thailand. Thai massages are the refreshments that make them live happier and healthier.

Thai massage works as a boon to bring your stressful life on the track of normal life. Most of the renowned medical experts say that this therapy are really helpful in treating different health problems, including cleansing the toxins from the human's body, improving sleep and lowering blood pressure. In addition to it, people also notice wonderful results in the improvement of circulation, and in getting the relief from the tension, and muscle spasms as well as soreness. The importance of this method can't be ignored during the time when it is used to help you rid the body of excess lactic acid.

This is why more and more people are showing their great interests in adapting massage therapy in order to experience a more relaxed and tension-free life. A single session of this method is enough to see tremendous results during the treatment of back aches, headaches and shoulder and neck pain. And, of course, there are a plethora of massage therapists who are known to deliver the best massage therapy services to heal many health issues.

AROMA OIL MASSAGE
Aromatherapy is a sort of herbal medicine, and one that is rapidly growing in popularity. Aroma Oil Massage is provided by many massage services in Bangkok. This practice relies for the most part on the use of essential oils from botanicals such as flowers, trees and other plants. Distilled by a steam process, these oils can be effective in alleviating quite a few diseases and other physical ills.

There are literally hundreds of essential oils that can be used in aroma oil massage. Each oil has its own therapeutic qualities. Some oils have calming and soothing properties, whilst others will help to energize and boost the patient undergoing aromatherapy treatment.

For treatment of pain and post-injury care, aromatherapy can be very effective. Even some more serious conditions respond to aromatherapy, best of all without the potentially uncomfortable, even harmful side effects associated with conventional medicine.

Aromatherapy is an excellent alternative to those seeking natural cures or treatments for their ills. Given it's safety compared to regular medications, it works well for those trying not to resort to chemically based medicines.
Aromatherapy can be used to treat everything from bug bites to sore throats, from minor fungal infections to Alzheimer's, where it has been shown to have some positive applications in certain cases.

Aromatherapy massage is almost universally reported to be effective at both stress and pain management and for this reason is used extensively by people recovering from sports injuries.

Medically massage is used for sports related injuries and to promote optimum performance of muscles. Through a pattern of exercise and massage, injuries can be avoided and greater athletic achievements can be accomplished. The regular massage prevents small injuries from becoming bigger ones and the athlete avoids the pain cycle all together. Massage is also an immune system enhancer that benefits patients with chronic immune system diseases like HIV. Increasing the circulation of healthy blood cells in the body helps these patients fight off disease better and keep a more positive mental attitude that is crucial for their survival.

Know before you go to any SPA: Ettiquette & Basics

2011-06-24T22:59:00.000-07:00

Get best out of your Massage & SPA Session: Must read it if you are going there for the first time:

Know your Spa & Do enough research before you go for SPA:
Choosing your spa is important. Read the brochures and try to get a sense of the environment and whether you will enjoy being there. Do you think the staff is friendly and helpful? Are you comfortable asking questions and discussing your needs and treatments with them?

Know what you are looking for and what you hope to achieve from your treatment: Familiarise yourself with the services the spa offers. Ask for a detailed description of the treatments that interest you and know what each treatment entails before you book your appointment.

Take an appointment before reaching there. Reach on time. Reaching early the better:
Don't rush. Relaxation is one of the benefits of spa treatments and it is important to take full advantage of your visit. Plan to arrive 15-30 minutes before your appointment as most spa treatments begin exactly on time. A late start would shorten your treatment as appointments finish on time in order to avoid inconveniencing the next client.

Keep a calm & Silence. Every guest here is to relax in a calm & relaxed environment:
Enjoy the silence. Spa is a place for quiet and relaxation and we ask guests to leave all cell phones, pagers and music players outside and turned off. Spa a place for you to pamper yourself.

Keep a modest attitude. Respect the therapist:
All of our therapists are women. Most customers undress completely for treatments and remain partially covered with towels or a sheet. If you would rather not be completely undressed, then you can wear undergarments. Ask beforehand about the privacy levels in the dressing, shower facilities and treatment rooms so that you can prepare yourself and feel comfortable.

Don't carry too much stuff with you:
As little as possible. Our spas provide cotton robes, unlimited towels, and slippers. Many also provide hairstyling and facial products. If you have something important to attend to when you leave, consider bringing your own hair and makeup toiletries. Leave jewellery and valuables in a safe place.

Don't eat food before massage:
Arrive satiated, neither hungry nor full. If you wish to have a bite to eat, our spas offer healthy meals and drinks. We recommend that you avoid alcohol immediately before or after spa treatments.

Share with therapist if you have any medical history or any problem:
Be open with your medical history so that your therapist can help you to choose appropriate treatments. It will be useful to know whether you have suffered any trauma or if you have any of the following conditions: high blood pressure, heart condition, allergies, varicose veins, pregnancy or recent surgery.

What is SPA Fish & SPA Fish Therapy? Is Fish SPA Safe?

2011-06-12T06:03:00.000-07:00

Originally from southern Turkey and northern Syria, for centuries Doctor Fish™ have been known for softening and cleansing the skin of people who bathed in hot springs where the fish darted about. As the legend goes, the healing powers of the fish were discovered in modern times by a shepherd and his flock in Turkey in 1917. Apparently he stumbled into marshy ground with an injured foot and found the open wound besieged by these little fish. The wound healed and eventually word got out to the outside world about these efficacious little “man-eaters”.

Worldwide, these Dr. Fish have made a name for themselves as “bio-therapists”, “dermatologists” and “pedicurists”. Members of the carp family, this species of fish thrives in hot water (up to 43 degrees centigrade!), which make them ideal “hot plunge pool companions”.

It sounds crazy, but don’t knock it until you try it – it is surprisingly fun. These normally vegetarian fish home in on areas of dry skin, especially around heels and soles of the feet and finger nails. For a psoriasis sufferer, the fish target the plaques — areas of sore, red and thickened skin.

The British Association of Dermatologists, avers that this removal of superfluous skin flakes aids exfoliation, particularly with psoriasis sufferers, since “it may help topical medications to penetrate, which is why some people may notice some improvement, but we are not aware of other proven benefits”.

Benefits:
•Natural exfoliation of dead skin
•Moisturizers absorb easier
•Stimulates blood circulation
•Lightens minor scars
•Eases psoriasis and minor eczema
•Releases stress and tension: the tickling sensation provides an instant mood-lift

Water Hygiene Protocols
•Water is changed daily
•U/V sterilized to eliminate viruses and bacteria
•Sand-filtered to remove particles of leftover fish food, etc.
•Ozone treatment: To break down liquid waste
•PH level: Neutral
•Temperature: Approx 30°C

Dr. Fish Therapies are on the increase in Malaysia as Australians are flocking to take advantage of the increasing dollar. Wellness, health and beauty travel has been on the rise throughout South-East Asia over the last few years, and Malaysia is also seeing an increase of travelers seeking some rest, relaxation and pampering.

For something a little more exotic, a foot massage and a session with the doctor fish can be had at nearby Pavilion. “Doctor Fish” is the more friendly term for the Garra Rufa breed of fish who happen to enjoy nibbling on dead skins cells (but will leave your healthy bits alone).

Doctor fish can also be found at local markets and other shopping locations for cheaper. But as the fish are notoriously hard to keep, travellers are advised to do their research on the store."

Fishes have emerged as new age beauty experts at an Indian salon and spa.
After gaining popularity in China, Japan, Singapore, fish spa or fish pedicure has now been introduced in the country by Naturals Unisex Salon and Spa in India's southern Chennai.

The idea behind the fish spa was to find a replacement for scrubbers used for pedicures and manicures. A fish called garra rufa or 'Doctor Fish' is used for these beauty treatments.

These fish nibble away at the dead skin on the hands and feet as the hot water in which they thrive doesn't support much plant or aquatic life, so they learned to feed on whatever food sources were available - including dead, flaking skin and this is what gave the idea to start this unique beauty treatment.
They leave live skin alone because, without teeth, they can't bite it off.
Though a little new, the fish pedicure and manicure has already created quite a stir in the city with hordes of people coming in to try them out.
For the first timers, the experience might have been a little scary but they come out all full of praise after letting the garra rufa nibble away at their feet and hands.

Is Fish Spa Treatment safe?
Spas are now being ordered to shut down any fish spa treatments because the cosmetology boards have ruled in over two dozen states because you can’t clean the fish, and every tool that is used on someone needs to be either disinfected or thrown away. We don’t want to see the fish be thrown out, with their last meal being the dead skin from your feet! Some say that there have been no proven cases of foot fungus being passed by these fish, but the possibility that this could occur seems to be quite real, so the fishies have had to go, at least for now.

When you put your feet in the water, the fish swim up to your feet immediately and nibble off all the affected and dead skin, while leaving the healthy and young skin untouched and unharmed. This treatment is painless and actually tickles a bit, making it a very popular and fun treatment for many people. Now that the spas are being forced to stop this treatment though, you may need to visit your nearest pond or lake to get a similar spa sensation. We have also seen a trend that is beginning to become more popular where people are purchasing their own nibbling fish and setting up their own home fish spas! Talk about a luxurious home spa!

Svastii Spa: New Age High End Spa in Mumbai

2011-06-06T07:35:00.000-07:00

Svastii Spa, a new-age high end spa and salon in Mumbai brings to you different kinds of body massages and assists you in providing best blends that serve your needs.

Svastii Spa uses powerful therapeutic essential oils and different massage techniques which helps you to rejuvenate your body, refresh your spirit and strengthen vital energies. It’s one of the best ways to pamper yourself.

“Treatments like deep Thai massage or a ‘lomilomi’ are designed specifically to relax muscle, loosen knots in the body and remove tiredness and fatigue. There are spa treatments especially for jet-lagged fliers and other such services, designed for specific problems” says Paulomi. A massage can work wonders for the body, their therapeutic values was known to the natives of Hawaii, and everything from plucking the flowers for the oil to the message itself involves meticulous preparation. To obtain the best results from the authentic massage, practitioners prefer to treat clients in a quiet and private setting. They may also ask their clients to meditate, change their diets, and engage in other self-help activities usually believed to lie outside the scope of massage in an effort to truly help the clients obtain optimal health.

Different kinds of body massages that you can choose from at the spa are:

Full Body Massage for the Jet-lagged fliers
This treatment begins with cleansing of body with a creamy exfoliating products which is followed by a body massage with specially blended oils such as “Awakening, Bliss and Blossom”. The refreshing and cleansing effect combined with aromas of oils used for massage gives you a feeling of ultimate well-being!

Lomi lomi massage to relax the muscles:
This massage is one of the oldest and most powerful forms of healing. Lomi Lomi is one of the most profound forms of massage. The treatment involves using exotic herbal oils to massage in long continuous, flowing strokes, combined with a loving touch which relaxes the entire body. The word Lomi Lomi simply means massage. However the alternate meaning of Lomi Lomi is “Loving Hands”! It is a unique healing massage derived from the ancient Polynesians and more specifically the master healers of Hawaii. The massage is based on Hawaiian philosophy called Huna. A fundamental principle of Huna is that everything seeks harmony and everything seeks love. Continuous flowing strokes are used that totally nurture the body. This sends you in a state of total relaxation. Whilst the technique is important, the work is done with a lot of love and dedication. The massage helps to release blockages while giving new directions for the energy to flow.

Potli Massage:
Herbal potlis (parcels) are prepared with various herbs and medicated powders. These are then warmed in medicated oils and used to massage the entire body. This is very effective for better blood circulation. It relieves joint pains, muscle cramps and stress. The warmth of the oil and medicinal properties of the herbs do wonders on your mind and body. A must have relaxation treatment!

Stone Therapy:
This technique was originated in America and recently it’s brought to India by some well-known Spa’s like Svastii. Volcanic Basalt stones are used for the hot massage treatment and Marble stones are used for the cold massage treatment. The heat from the hot stones relieves tension and pain. The unique technique used gives just enough pressure to feel the heat and the weight of the stone. Stone placing on the Chakra points helps in Chakra balancing. The freezing cold stones are alternatively replaced with the hot ones. This stimulates and relaxes the body at the same time. The technique creates a unique dramatic movement of fluids within the body. Experience it and feel the difference!

Javanese Lulur
Javanese Mandi Lulur is an ancient beauty treatment, which originated centuries ago in the palaces of central Java as a ‘purifying’ ritual for Javanese princesses. It was in Java, that many secrets of health and beauty, utilizing the natural food, herbs, spices, clays and minerals were created and used for the benefit of the royal family. Traditionally, this treatment is given to the royal brides in Java. The treatment begins with a traditional foot scrub followed by a one-hour Balinese massage. Next, the entire body is painted with a light brown granular aromatic paste called Javanese Lulur. The Lulur is made up of natural ingredients. You will be asked to take a shower after the Lulur is dry. After shower, more rituals are performed to enhance the effects of this treatment. Your dry, flaky skin will be left soft, supple and shining. The Javanese Lulur Ritual is a rare experience that you MUST enjoy at a Spa.

Chakra Healing
Chakra balancing is based on the belief that our body has seven main energy centers along the spine which absorb and emit life force. These energy centers are referred as chakras. During the actual chakra balancing session, the therapist’s aim is to invite the client into an environment that is free of all the worldly stress. We will start your treatment with a discussion that pinpoints the areas of stress or emotional turmoil in your life. The therapist will explain how these are affecting your body, and the chakras within. You will then receive a customised chakra balancing plan to treat your specific physical, emotional and spiritual needs. This may include one or more of the relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, etc. At the end of the treatment you will experience a totally calm state of mind and body. This is when you will feel a complete chakra balance.

Colour Therapy
The use of colour as a therapy is a truly holistic, non-invasive and powerful experience. Colours affect all living cells. Used in the right way, colours can have a profound and healing effect on all creations, human beings or otherwise.It is a well known scientific fact that everything has a vibration, that is to say that all things have their own vibration/frequency, and that includes us! Colour Therapy can be used for any problem whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual for specific problems as well as an overall relaxation therapy.

Full Body Massage
Body massage is performed with a mixture of vegetable oils that nourish the skin. Aromatherapy oils such as Lavender and Geranium are used to provide rejuvenation. The Swedish massage technique provides complete relaxation as well as helps in removing toxins from the body. You can choose from oils such as Bliss (relaxing), Blossom (flowery essence) or Awakening (citrusy) to receive specific benefits.

Back Massage with Back Polish
The back polish before the back massage removes all the dead skin from your back with the help of an exfoliator. The massage will have its own additional benefits, leaving you with a feeling of total relaxation. A perfect body ritual to begin with!

Full Body Polish
This treatment begins with an exfoliation of the entire body with cream-based scrubs that also contain natural ingredients like sugar and salt. It has a very refreshing effect on the body as well as the mind. Application of body butter after the polish and shower restores the acid mantle and maintains the smoothness of your skin.

Full Body Massage with Body Polish
This treatment begins with cleansing of body with creamy exfoliating products which is followed by a body massage with specially blended oils such as “Awakening, Bliss and Blossom”. The refreshing and cleansing effect combined with aromas of oils used for massage gives you a feeling of ultimate well-being! Having your body cleansed with our luxurious exfoliating products followed by a massage treatment with oil of your choice is an experience of its own! The refreshing and cleansing effect combined with aromas of oils used for massage make you feel very special and pampered.

Body Envelopment
If you wish to indulge yourself even further, you can experience the body envelopment treatment followed by body polish. The therapeutic oils and masks used during this treatment will purify and nourish your skin. During body envelopment treatment, you can choose from various body masks such as hydrating mask, detoxifying mask or a cellulite reduction mask. You will then be cocooned in linen and blankets to maintain the heat. The cocooning experience is the most relaxing experience as it makes you feel its warmth first on the surface of the skin and then inside the whole body. You will be kept cocooned for 20 minutes before taking show.

Body Polish with ‘Organic Basket’
Kumari, Nimba, Hemidesmus and Indicus are mixed with other natural ingredients to produce a mask. This mask when applied on the skin gives nice detoxifying effect. Your body will feel lighter and full of good energy.

Grandiose Body Envelopment with ‘Organic Basket’

This unique massage is a deep and sensitive bodywork combining:

•Oil & herbal powder to regulate strokes and stimulate blood & lymphatic circulation.
•Deep & reassuring strokes with hands and feet to open the body and release toxins, tensions & blocks.
•Yogic stretches - a combination to open joints and re-educate the body map (in the brain).
•Directions to maximize stretches & expand the body.
•Respiration - encouraging deeper and more natural breathing
•Contemporary therapies: meditation, breathwork, dialoguing, joint release & Alexander technique.
This provocative yet deeply relaxing combination increases the body's vital energy (prana) flow from feet to head. Easy to diagnose with, it can help pinpoint the root problem areas of body and bring relief to the symptoms manifesting (e.g. back, neck knee pain etc,). Once balance is restored it is an excellent weekly maintenance for people who are interested in preventative health care.

Essential Oils & Massage

2011-05-21T00:16:00.000-07:00

Today there are many types of essential oils with many uses. It is necessary to experiment with the many types and try them on a variety of skin types to develop your own sense of use and personal preference.

The purpose of using oil in a massage is to facilitate the gliding over the client's skin. The various oils contain ingredients for nourishing the skin and promoting health. Essential oils (fragrant oils distilled from plants, trees, roots, seeds) can be added for further enhancing the treatment. The use of essential oils in massage is a fantastic way to maximize the healing power of the massage itself. When combined with essential oils, a massage can have a powerful calming or energizing effect, depending on the oil chosen and the strokes of the masseur (quick movements will stimulate and slow movements relax).

When buying oils, look for cold-pressed or expellier-pressed ( made with the least amount of heating and processing) as they last longer.

Keep large quantities of oils refrigerated or in a cool place (below 65 degrees) when not in use to delay spoilage. Vitamin E added each month to the oil will help prevent spoilage.

When using essential oils in massage, always dilute the oils in a carrier oil prior to application to the skin. As we've said before, essential oils are very powerful concentrates, and unless indicated otherwise, should not be directly applied to the skin or irritation can result.

Therapeutic grade essential oils are extremely concentrated particularly when they have been derived through distillation, which is the most effective method of extraction. Because essential oils are so highly concentrated, most of them are at least 50 times more therapeutically potent than the herbs or plants they came from. When herbs are cut & dehydrated for therapeutic use, they can lose as much as 90% of the healing nutrients as well as the vast majority of the vital oxygen molecules. Not so with essential oils, which are many times more potent than dried herbs.

Most of the essential oils you find in health food stores are so low in quality and full of adulterations, you would be shocked. Even essential oils labeled as "PURE" are not what they seem. There is a very big difference between the low quality essential oils and true therapeutic grade essential oils.

Therapeutic grade essential oils have been used for thousands of years by physicians of all types of healing. They add oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Using therapeutic grade essential oils can greatly benefit any natural healing practice.

Carrier oils are just that. They are the oils that carry the essential oil. There are a wide variety available including the following:
Almond Oil - very easily absorbed by the skin, is very smooth, has little smell, keeps well, contains vitamin D and has beneficial effects on hair, dry skin and brittle nails. Almond oil is an excellent emollient (softening and soothing to the skin) and also helps the skin to balance its loss and absorption of moisture. This oil is one of the most popular of the carrier oils used in aromatherapy and massage, since it is non-greasy, spreads easily and is also great for nourishing the skin. The aroma is light, slightly sweet and nutty.

Apricot kernel Oil - light, contains Vitamin A, particularly good for use on the face if the skin is dry or aging. Apricot oil has moisturizing, nourishing and revitalizing properties and is particularly helpful for dehydrated, delicate, mature and sensitive skin. It is also helpful to soothe inflammation. This finely textured oil spreads easily and is particularly rich in both oleic acid and linoleic acid.

Avocado Oil - heavy, rich in nutrients, very good for dry aging and sensitive skins Evening Primrose Oil - helpful for skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, only keeps for about 2 months after opening. Avocado oil is often used for clients with dry or mature skin, people suffering from eczema, psoriasis or similar skin complaints. It is also very useful when treating sun or climate damaged skin that is dehydrated and under nourished, as it is said to help with the regenerating of the skin and softening of the tissue. Although it can be used pure, it is in most cases mixed with another carrier, such as Almond, or Grapeseed. It is easily absorbed into the skin and deep tissue, and has wonderful emollient properties, making it excellent for use in all massage blends.

Grapeseed Oil - light, good for oily skin, one of the least expensive oils. Grapeseed oil is rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid quite important for the skin and the cell membranes. It is purported to have regenerative and restructuring qualities and has great skin moisturizing properties. Grapeseed oil is a great non- greasy oil to use, but could be enriched by blending it with another carrier, such as almond or wheat germ. This is fine textured, oil with a very light, slightly sweet hint of a nutty aroma, and with a satiny finish. It contains vitamins, minerals, and protein, GLA, and a small amount of vitamin E.

Hazelnut Oil - penetrates the skin very easily and is deeply nourishing. Hazelnut oil is fine in texture, and has great moisturizing qualities. Hazelnut oil can help tone and tighten the skin while strengthening capillaries and assisting in cell regeneration.

Jojoba Oil - light, rich in vitamin E, beneficial for spots, acne, dandruff and dry scalp. Jojoba oil closely resembles that of your own skin; it is an excellent moisturizer and is ideal for all skin types. It can in most cases be used on blemished skin without any problems, as it helps to control acne. Jojoba is also a favorite oil to use as a carrier oil for aromatherapy as it penetrates the skin easily and is suitable for all skin types. The aroma is light to medium, not as sweet as the nut oils.

Wheatgerm Oil - contains vitamins A, B, C and E, firms and tones the skin, reduces blemishes, can help to reduce scar tissue and stretch marks, has a strong smell. Wheat germ oil has a high vitamin E content and essential fatty acids, thus it is used extensively in aromatherapy massage blends. It is said to promote a smoother, younger-looking skin, assisting in healing scar tissue as well as stretch marks. It is too sticky to use on its own, but is wonderful when blended with a lighter carriers, such as sweet almond. When it is applied topically on to the skin it is said to help promote the formation of new cells, improve circulation, and help repair sun damage. It is also used to help relieve the symptoms of dermatitis. This carrier is said to stimulate tissue regeneration and is often added to other blends because of its antioxidant properties.

When combining oils to be used in massage, have the proper supplies on hand. Dark bottles (brown, blue, etc.) in a 2oz size work very well, and can be obtained with relative ease.

Using a small funnel, fill the container half full until you have about 1oz of carrier oil. To the carrier oil, add 12-15 drops of essential oil and place the lid on the container. Shake well (the container - not you!!).

You can use only one essential oil or combine up to three of your choice to comprise the 12-15 drops. And there you have it! Your very own blend of massage oil!

How to Make Your Massage Oil by Mixing Your Own Oil?
As we already know, essential oils cannot be used directly on the skin. Aromatherapy massage oils are prepared when essential oils are blended with vegetable oils (base oils) before they can be used for oil massages. These are some vegetable oils which are your base oils or carrier that can be used – Almond, Grapeseed, Jojoba, Safflower, Sunflower, Coconut, Apricot Kernel.

Please note that jojoba oil is a hot favorite as it remains in the liquid form of wax and does not go rancid.

Pour 1/8 cup of any of the above vegetable oils into a clean, sterilized jar.
Add a few drops of essential oils (about 5-7 is good enough) one at a time with an eye dropper. Eye droppers usually come with the essential oil bottles. Do not use synthetic oils as far as possible, for best massage results.
Close the lid tightly on the jar. Swirl the oil mixture in a clockwise direction. Do not stir.
Label the jar and keep aside for future use or as required.
Store the jar and your oils away from heat, light, moisture and air. You are advised to blend small amounts of oils and essences as base oils get oxidized quickly and smell rancid. Wheat germ oil (1 teaspoon) when mixed with an oil, acts as an antioxidant.

Massaging with Oils: Oils used in massage should be diluted or hot according to the health problem you want to treat. For a relaxing massage, a few drops of your chosen oil provide lubrication to facilitate the strokes. Stick to the recommended dilution based on the health ailment you want to treat. Oils are used to treat small troublesome areas. Use fingertips to massage gently. If the skin is broken, carefully dab the oil using cotton wool.

These essential oil blends are desired for a facial massage, that is, an aromatherapy massage for your hands and face.
Chamomile, Orange, Rose, Lavender, Peppermint

How to Make Your Choice of Essential Oil Blends?
To make your massage oil, take some sweet almond oil and fill some 10 ml bottles. The bottles should come with a dropper dispenser for accurate measurements. The bottle color should be blue glass or amber colored glass so that the oil contents are protected from sunlight. This prevents the oil from going rancid and helps to preserve the oil. You can get these bottles easily from any pharmacy at a cheap price.

Use the 10 ml of carrier oil, for e.g. sweet almond oil with 5 drops of essential oil or a blend of up to 5 drops of different essential oils.

Radisson Blu Farnham Estate Hotel and Health Spa:

At Farnham Health Spa, the air of relaxation is fuelled by guests ambling around the complex in soft white bathrobes and matching slippers as they make their ways to and from the spa, which is one of the hotel’s biggest attractions.

You can either book your own treatment or spend time in the Water Mint Thermal Suite which all guests have complimentary access to.

Described as a “journey of the senses” the thermal suite has an aroma steam bath, a salt inhalation room, snail showers, hydrotherapy pool, an ice fountain and much more. My own personal favourite were the three individual foot spas - with their jets of hot water which eased the pain in my fatigued feet after a jog around the spectacular estate and an hour of training in the hotel gym.

But that was before being pampered in a treatment room with a full body massage delivered by one of the expert therapists at the spa.

Just lie back and let yourself be pampered, it’ll seem light years away from the stresses and strains of every day life. I emerged completely rested and restored and ready for sleep by the infinity pool, part of which is outside. A full range of face and body treatments including facials, massages and body wraps in the Yon-Ka range are all available. They last from 15 minutes to up to 2 hours for the Secret De Beauté, a totally indulgent head to toe reviver.

From the velvet moss spread underneath the tall trees in the forest to the exhilarating plant-derived scents of the new Yon-Ka products in the Health Spa, inside and out, Farnham Estate is a true playground for the senses.

The cellar bar is in a class of its own, with exposed brick work on the walls, it gives the real feeling of an authentic country house but without losing any of its charm. It’s warm, inviting and the perfect place to spend the evening.

Open since 2006 and only 90 minutes from Dublin, set in 1300 acres of unspoilt countryside in County Cavan, Farnham Estate Health Spa at the Radisson Blu Farnham Estate Hotel is one of only sixteen Fáilte Ireland designated ‘Resort Spas’ throughout Ireland, reflecting the degree of commitment of staff, the facilities and the range of treatments available, and is one of Ireland’s most popular spa retreats.

With its expansive woodlands, the estate itself can also be said to raise the spirits. There are 7 kms of the most beautifully natural walking trails in the land. Walks range from the more relaxed, shorter routes through to the more challenging, depending on the individual requirements. Along the treks, you will enjoy the incredible range of trees including ancient redwood, cedar, copper beech and Scots pine, as well as wonderful views of Farnham Lake. During our two day stay we covered the lot in our relaxing pre-breakfast forest runs to build up an raging appetite in time for the most important meal of the day.

All in all we found that Farnham truly is an amazing place to take time out from the hustle and bustle of everyday life - the perfect getaway.

Massage & SPA Deals in Pattaya

2011-05-07T04:27:00.000-07:00

Pattaya is a SPA gateway of the Thailand or even for the world. It's a place where you will find all varieties of SPA & Massages as per your taste & mood. People specially come from all over the world and stay in Pattaya beach hotels but their main idea is to look for some exciting SPA vacations giving them some great SPA deals including exciting SPA packages. People generally think that Pattaya is only popular for Soapy massage or body to body massages. But the people who have experienced some good Thai massage & Foot massage by a good massager will always go for that instead of wasting money on Soapy Massages or so called VIP massages.

If you are touring Pattaya only for a weekend, you can look for some options around SPA weekends which is generally very popular with some of the good hotels in Pattaya.

Generally most good hotels provide very professional SPA & Massage services by very experienced Male & Female Massagers.

Thailand & Pattaya are popular for very exotic massage oils. You can select from different massage oils in Pattaya at high end SPAs. You can also buy a bottle of Massage Oil if you like the same.

There are several SPA resorts around Pattaya. If your aiming only for the relaxation without getting into heat & pollution of Pattaya, that's not a bad choice at all. You can negotiate some good SPA Packages or ask SPA deals in these properties or resorts in Pattaya. Most of the resorts generally provide 10 to 20% discount if asked for.

Some travellers in Pattaya prefers to stay in Budget Hotels in Pattaya at popular places & spend most of their time in Massage Parlours or SPA or at beach. You can decide where you want to spend your money in Pattaya. Generally Massage & SPA in Pattaya is cheapest in the world so you don't have to worry too much money specially if you are coming from some western country.

There are several properties in Pattaya who market themselves as SPA Hotels & they have very good in house SPA facilities which are generally provided at the discounted rates for the residents. So that's not a bad deal if you are in Pattaya for SPA Vacations.

If you are looking for more cheaper options for massage & SPA in Pattaya, then you better go into the local area of Pattaya where generally Thai men go for massage. Generally these places are not frequented by Travellers & SPA charges here are generally cheaper than the popular tourist places.

You can also call Private Massage Therapist to your hotel room if you find that more comfortable. But this is generally expensive & good massagers never like go to client's room for a massage.

Couple Massage is very popular in Pattaya. Both members can get the massage at the same time in the same room getting services of 2 different therapist. This is generally very exciting & you will enjoy each others company while getting a good massage.

If you are in pattaya for a long term holiday, it may be good idea to join some Thai Massage School in Pattaya and learn some massage techniques. This will help you make your partner happy as well if you market yourself well, you can also make money at your place.

Different Types of Massages available in Pattaya, Thailand
Physical Massage:
Known in Thailand as Physical Massage or Nuat phaen boran, which correctly translates only as ancient massage or traditional massage, this form of massage is also known as Thai ancient massage, traditional Thai massage, Thai classical massage or Thai bodywork. It is usually soothing because of its emphasis on stretching and loosening the body. Its roots go back far into history, originating in India based on the Ayurveda, and then becoming popular in Thailand.
The massage recipient changes into pajamas and lies on a mat or firm mattress on the floor. (It can be done solo or in a group of a dozen or so patients in the same large room). The massage giver leans on the recipient's body using hands and forearms to apply firm rhythmic pressure to almost every part of the taker's body.
Usually no oil is applied. A full course of Thai massage typically lasts two hours or more.

Reflexology Massage
This type of massage is now very popular in Thailand. You will find a lot of businesses touting Reflexology Massage.
Reflexology is based on the belief that there are places on the feet (and hands) that correspond to parts of the body, e.g. internal organs and joints. Manipulating those parts of the feet (or hands) can have direct effects on corresponding parts of the body.
Some proponents claim the ability to diagnose and treat illnesses of these organs by appropriate reflexological treatment.
Some doctors agree that human health problems can be linked to nervous stress. Therefore, the solution to this is Foot Massage, which naturally improves nerve and blood system.

SPA & Massage
The word SPA comes from the Latin phrase, 'sanus per aquam', or 'health through water.'
Modern SPAs have their roots in ancient towns famed for the healing powers of their mineral waters and hot springs. Travelers would come to 'take the waters' and restore their health.
Oils, creams, lotions or fragrant substances are applied on the skin to reduce friction and allow smooth strokes.
Some practitioners claim benefits from vegetable rather than mineral oil while others disagree.
Aromatherapy, also used in SPAs, is the use of fragrant substances for health and beauty treatment. It is often combined with massage since oils can be used to carry fragrances while also allowing more pressure to be applied to muscles.
Its proponents claim that health benefits are associated with specific choices of scent.

Body Massage
Body massage (ARB OB NUAT or OB ARB NUAT, the Thai words for washing and massage) in Thailand most often consists of either an oil massage, assisted bath, and/or bodyslide treatment ('soapie') followed by special services.
These latter may or may not be included in the price paid to the house. If not, they are negotiated with the masseuse.
OB ARB NUAT establishments tend to cater mostly to locals and Asians, but some will also accept Western customers.
Thailand's Massage Parlours offer you a lot more than just relaxation of your muscles.

Full Body Massage Parlours in Pattaya, Thailand

2011-05-07T02:31:00.000-07:00

Massages are a long standing and popular tradition in Thailand but massage “parlours”, as opposed to shops, offer you a lot more than just relaxation of your muscles. Although these are concentrated mostly in Bangkok and Phuket there are quite a number of places in Pattaya where you can get away from the bar scene near the beach altogether and have your own bit of private fun with a massage.

Body massage parlours are an altogether different experience:
These massage parlours in Pattaya are not really geared to the Western foreign tourist trade and most are kept quite hidden from the general visitor to Pattaya. Since the parlours provide the rooms for a short term service (the girls aren’t taken off the premises) these are popular with the Thai men who want to keep things a secret and with visiting Far Eastern nationals who can turn-up by the bus-load occasionally. However all nationalities are welcomed equally, and the girls apparently prefer Western men.

Many massage parlours in Pattaya are attached to large entertainment complexes and can be a bit hard to find if you don’t know where to look.

Most 'bachelors' visiting Thailand opt for the easy solution of visiting go go and girlie bars, but there are also lots of regular girls who aren't prostitutes but keen on meeting foreigners for a fling. Hundreds of lonely modern city girls go looking online to meet westerners, no strings attached. They aren't expecting money or a boyfriend and haven't been with scores of other men.

Heaven Entertainment Complex is one of the major establishments with a large selection of good massagers and often caters for the visiting Koreans, Chinese and Japanese as well as the regular Thais. The prices vary depending upon the massager choice but are from 1500 to 2000 baht in general. The rooms are comfortable and there are bars and massage in the complex as well as games. The area can get very busy. 149/352 Moo 9 Sukhumvit Road, Pattaya, Chonburi, Tel: 038 377 171.

Sabailand which is a very, very obvious place opposite ‘Big C’ on the corner of Soi 3 and 2nd Road offers a good selection of massager who will spend up to two hours with you for 2000 baht or less. Prices do vary. 102/1 Soi 3 Pattaya 2nd Road, Pattaya, +66 (0)38 422 806.
