Aromatherapy and Thai Herbal Ball Treatments are wonderful additions to any modality. I will be happy to incorporate "something new" into your next massage experience.Aromatherapy -
Experience Aromatherapy as a holistic medicine, it is both a preventative approach as well as an active treatment during acute and chronic stages of illness or 'dis'-ease. It is a natural, non-invasive treatment system designed to affect the whole person not just the symptom or disease and to assist the body's natural ability to balance, regulate, heal and maintain itself by the correct use of essential oils.
Aromatherapy can be defined as the art of science by utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit. It is an art and science which seeks to explore the physiological, psychological and spiritual realm of the individual's response to aromatic extracts as well as to observe and enhance the individual's innate healing process.
Thai Herbal Ball Treatments -

Herbal Bath Benefits:
The herbs in the ball will bring skin to a new level of regeneration. Turmeric is an herb in the ball that has been used by women in Thailand for centuries for helping with toxicity, as well as for the cleansing effect it has on the skin, for rejuvenation, and promoting new cell growth. Kaffir lime also has astringent properties and anti-oxidants that help to promote healing. Tamarind draws out the oils and toxins as it purifies while it soothes and heals the skin. The Prai will leave your skin soft and smooth and is said to remove age and liver spots. You certainly can not ignore the therapeutic value you will gain from sitting in this wonderful bath of herbal splendor!
