Indulge in our luxurious indoor treat during the cold season of November to February, handcrafted as either a 2-day or 3-day programme.
DAY 1 - RAMUAN DEMAH (HEATED HERBAL POULTICE REMEDY) (100 minutes)
Experience the Malay art of healing with a heated compress. A herbal poultice made from a mixture of galangal, ginger and salt,
tied loosely and dipped in warm medicated coconut oil infused with patchouli, black pepper and jasmine, is massaged vigorously
on the body. This treatment is followed by a Malay massage to ease stiff joints, reduce arthritic problems, promote circulation
and release toxins. Warm sensations from the treatment induce a deep sense of relaxation, best experienced during the cold weather.
DAY 2 - MALAY MASSAGE (50 minutes)
The art of traditional Malay massage is passed on from generation to generation. This 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 from special local
ingredients such as turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, onion and citronella that invigorates circulation. Complete this treatment with
a special remedy of scented herbal roots and flower buds prepared in an earthen pot. This special tonic is believed to be the
secret of anti-aging.
DAY 3 - TUNGKU BATU (HEATED STONE THERAPY) (100 minutes)
Healing with heated stones is an ancient form of therapy, long practiced as an addition to a massage in the Malay culture.
It is a traditional therapy for women in birth confinement and for men to enhance agility. Massaging the body using heated
stones helps hasten the elimination of toxins, alleviate joint pains, loosen tense muscles and break down excess fats.
