New Ayurvedic and body treatments
Chiva-Som, Asia’s original destination spa, continues its constant evolution with the introduction of a new collection of handpicked treatments finely tuned to promoting vitality and wellbeing. Adding to its already extensive Health and Wellness menu, Chiva-Som showcases some of the best treatment philosophies from around the world, including a new collection of Ayurvedic ‘Vasti’ massages alongside an updated body treatment.
Inspired by traditional Indian medicine, Chiva-Som’s ‘Vasti’ treatments are built on the Ayurvedic principle of ‘retaining oil’. Stresses, strains and blockages are released by combining massage techniques with warm medicated oils, applied in ‘wells’ made from kneaded herbal dough to affected areas. The constant contact with the warm oil, which is repeatedly replaced once cooled, improves blood circulation to strengthen, balance, relax and rejuvenate.
Katti Vasti – Ayurverdic Lower Back Therapy
A treatment that focuses on the lower back and aims to release blockages in the spine, improve the flow of cerebral spinal fluid, blood and lymph circulation in the lower back area, nourishing the nervous system and harmonising the Doshas.
Greeva Vasti – Ayurvedic Cervical Therapy
Greeva Vasti covers the lower neck to the upper thoracic area to deeply relax shoulder joints, relieve stress and strain in the trapezius muscle, stimulate lymphatic drainage and improve blood circulation to the brain.
Nabhi Vasti – Ayurvedic Navel Therapy
Focusing on the abdominal area, Nabhi Vasti helps to stimulate the digestive system to improve appetite digestion. By easing out muscle stress in the abdomen it also helps to increase overall energy levels.
Janu Vasti – Ayurvedic Knee Therapy
Concentrates on the knees and is suitable for anyone with arthritis or who has painful joints. It aims to nourish the muscles to improve leg movement.
Hridya Vasti – Ayurvedic Chest Therapy
Beneficial for anyone seeking to take special care of the chest and sternum area as it works to clear lung congestion. It strengthens and balances heart functions, relaxes and rejuvenates the heart muscles and relieves chest muscle pain.
Signature Total Body Bare Treatment
A new signature body care treatment which includes a dry skin brush followed by an Aromatic Coffee Body polish. A deeply soothing aromatherapy massage follows, using a selection of Chiva-Som massage oils. A Chiva-Som therapist then gently treats the face by cleansing, toning, exfoliating and finishing with a massage using lymphatic drainage and pressure point techniques. A scalp massage concludes the treatment for optimum relaxation. Designed to leave skin feeling refreshed, nourished and glowing, benefits for this treatment also include an improvement in skin texture and appearance, and alleviation of aches and pains accompanied by deep relaxation.
Chiva-Som dedicates itself to lifestyle transformation and aims to offer their clients the very best in cutting edge treatments. Its highly personalised, goal-oriented programmes embrace spa, fitness, holistic health and medical spa, taking a results-driven approach.
