Spas and massages in Hua Hin Thailand

There is nothing like being pampered for an hour or so, the sole object of the masseur/masseuse’s attention as he or she applies the therapeutic oils, and magic fingers smooth away the pent up stresses and strains of life. Medical spas, with their combination of relaxation and aromatic treatments for mind and spirit are all the rage in Thailand.

Amongst the best of them is Bangkok’s S Medical Spa on Wireless Road. Now this famed establishment has a sister in Thailand’s royal city of Hua Hin – the Sea Wellness Spa

The Sea Wellness Spa offers a range of treatments from Colonic Detoxification to Thai massage, aromatherapy and Swedish massage.

A registered nurse is in attendance at the spa while it is open and she will explain the benefits of each treatment.

Colonic Detoxification, for example, involves the clearing of all waste products from the large colon. Apparently this is important as the longer the waste remains in the intestine the more damage it might cause, like irritation of the intestinal lining and absorption of toxins from the lingering waste. Very unpleasant indeed.

The Sea Wellness Spa uses an electrolyte fluid that is similar to that of the body’s own fluid composition and contains minerals, electrolytes and other essential elements for a healthy you. The fluid is warmed to body temperature too.

Colonic Detoxification is popular with Asian, particularly Japanese, clients. Apparently few Caucasians attempt the procedure.

A more popular conventional treatment is the blue wave therapy that uses only the palm of the hand and thumbs to relax and loosen tense muscles and pressure points.

Aromatherapy treatment starts with a soothing and foaming antibacterial foot bath. Once over there is a choice of soft, medium or strong pressure along with a choice of oils while at the same time the benefits of the oils are carefully explained.

Peppermint oil is popular. Traditionally used as a calming agent for the digestive system it is also a traditional remedy for fevers, colds and headaches.

The Sea Spa is spacious with all the spaces designed to induce a feeling of calmness and security. The treatment areas have been designed to look like a Aegean island village; indeed the texture of the white washed roughly hewn walls is certainly reminiscent of the hamlets of Mykonos, Cos and Milos.

Each treatment room has a large window that looks out on to a display of lush architectural vegetation and a shallow stream of clear water trickles past the window with a most pleasing effect.

But the Sea Spa offers more than just colonic detoxification and traditional Swedish-style massage: facials are also offered as well as two types of traditional Royal Thai Herbal massages: Chaley Sak and Largh Sam Nak.

Spas may not cure any physical ailments but the therapies excel at promoting a sense of mental relaxation and bring a pleasant sense of emotional wellbeing.
