TRADITIONAL MALAY MASSAGE
The art of traditional Malay massage is passed on from generation to generation.
The technique consists of long kneading strokes that focus on the muscles, and
pressure applied to various points on the body. This treatment uses oil made
with special local ingredients such as turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, onion and
citronella that invigorates circulation. It ends with an earthen pot prepared
remedy of scented herbal roots and flower buds, a special tonic believed by some to be
the secret of anti-aging.
PICIT (TRADITIONAL MALAY DRY MASSAGE)
This traditional dry massage therapy is commonly practised in many local family homes.
This full body treatment uses thumb and palm pressure along with muscle kneading and
forearm rolling techniques to help loosen up tense muscles while stimulating energy
points to improve blood circulation and reduce the build-up of impurities in the body.
This invigorating experience leaves the entire body and mind rejuvenated.
URUT TELAPAK KAKI (TRADITIONAL MALAY FOOT MASSAGE)
Based on ancient beliefs, the soles of our feet hold all the sensory nerves to our internal organs
and provide insight to our overall well-being. This age-old therapy uses mentholated Serapi oil made
from coconut, eucalyptus, citronella and clove. This is applied using thumb and knuckle pressure on
various points to improve circulation, release blockage and restore your body's natural balance.
JARI-JEMARI (HAND AND FOOT SOAK)
This treatment is an indulgence for the senses. First, both the hands and feet
are soaked in a warm herbal bath. You can feel a tingling sensation as the herbs
work their way to help relieve aches, improve circulation, reduce inflammation
and joint conditions. A scrub and a massage to soothe and pamper your tired
limbs follow this soak.
RENDAM-RENDAM (SITZ BATH) *
This treatment has been practised among Malay women for generations
contributing to the wellness of the genital organs and the firmness of the
vaginal muscles as they age. The curative properties of piper betel and black
seed with their natural antiseptic relieve and soothe irritations from fungal
infections and heavy discharge as the body is immersed in the specially prepared
herbal concoction. It is highly recommended for piles and genital discomfort
and also helps to strengthen the uterus after childbirth and menstruation.
AWET PERMAISURI (QUEEN'S ROYAL INDULGENCE)
Inspired by ancient royal remedies, this specially crafted therapy uses Tok oil and long rhythmic
strokes to alleviate muscle aches. Pressure is also applied to various points of the body to stimulate
blood circulation and balance the flow of energy. An abdominal massage with a hot-sand cotton pouch
helps to relieve the body of indigestion and improves detoxification. A traditional scrub made from
rice, turmeric, galangal and a firming masque of white clay, rice, turmeric and ginger follows,
strengthening pectoral muscles and restabilising the skin's condition. The bust is treated to a
herbal firming cream made from a blend of fenugreek, nutmeg, lemongrass and aloe that provides
your skin with a renewed sense of vitality. This experience ends with a relaxing head massage
that will leave you in a state of complete bliss and relaxation.
