TRADITIONAL PEELING, FOAM WASH & FOAM MASSAGE

The tradition of the Turkish bath extends far back, to a time before the Turks had reached Anatolia. When the Turks arrived in Anatolia they brought with them one bathing tradition, and were confronted with another, that of Romans and Byzantines with certain local variants. The traditions merged, and with the addition of the Moslem concern for cleanliness and its concomitant respect for the uses of water, there arose an entirely new concept, that of the Turkish Bath. In time it became an institution with its system of ineradicable customs.

TURKISH BATH (HAMAM):

It is a place where peeling (KESE) foam and massage is made by heating up the body in a hot steamy place.

PEELING : Human body breathes in two ways

• First is through the lungs
• Second is through the skin

Peeling ( KESE – SILK GLOVE ) is performed in the Turkish bath, it removes dead skin cells and allows new skin to come up. Breathing becomes easier for the body as it opens the arteries and that allows the blood circulation to increase.

FOAM WASH :

The body which has been cleaned with peeling (KESE), is washed with an aromatic foam which relaxes the body.

FOAM MASSAGE :

The foam massage allows the skin and muscles to become more relaxed and softened (in a hot steamy place) to get the body ready for an oil massage.

Hot Stone Therapy

The hot stone massage uses soothing oils, warm basalt and cold marble stones to relax the muscles, allowing for a deeper and more intense all-over massage.

What is hot stone therapy?

At the start of a hot stone therapy, smooth water-heated basalt stones are carefully applied to key points on the body. This direct heat relaxes the muscles, which means that the massage itself is more effective and intense than it would be otherwise. The size of the stones varies, according to which part of the body they’re being used on.

The stones are coated in fragrant oil to increase your sense of relaxation and calm. When oil is smoothed gently onto the body, each stone in turn can be worked along by the therapist’s hands. Most therapists will alternate the application of the warm stones with frozen or cooling marble ones, aimed at stimulating the nervous system.

What is hot stone therapy good for?

After a vigorous game of rugby, players will often sit in ice-baths to reduce muscle swelling; the less extreme among us have a hot bath! It is generally accepted that treatments of warmth and cold are beneficial, and help to soothe an aching body. What we often need to do is combine both hot and cold. There’s a method behind the apparent madness of leaping from a toasty sauna into an icy pool – and hot stone therapy uses the same principle. The hot stones expand the blood vessels and the cold ones constrict them. The warm stones sedate the nervous system and the cooler stones gently wake it up again. The combination of relaxing warmth and refreshing coolness is thought to encourage the body to detox and heal, increasing lymph flow and helping to flush out waste. The body becomes relaxed in a much shorter space of time, and the therapist can focus on a deep working of the tissues using both stone and hand strokes.

A good hot stone therapy should:* boost your circulation* release stored tension* recharge your energy levels.  Hot stone therapy is said to have health benefits for people with:* muscular pain* poor circulation* rheumatic and arthritic conditions* fibromyalgia* multiple sclerosis (MS)* back pain* stress* insomnia* depression.  As with all spa therapies, you should never underestimate the feel-good factor. Hot stone massage will make you feel nurtured, pampered and special.

AROMATHERAPY & AROMATHERAPIE

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy describes treatments that use essential oils to make you feel calm, relaxed, or energised. Aromatherapy oils work with your sense of smell; you can inhale them, bathe in them or be massaged in them.

What is aromatherapy?

Smell is a very powerful sense that can work with your memory. Certain smells remind you of events, people and places. In addition to this, the smell can also take you back to how you felt about what you’re remembering. It activates your emotional memory.  Aromatherapy uses warm essential oils to activate your sense of smell and increase your sense of well-being.  The oils are massaged into your skin, dropped into water for you to bathe in, or blended with other oils or steam for you to inhale.

What is aromatherapy good for?

Aromatherapy works on the basis that the smell of the essential oils trigger the limbic system – the part of the brain that seems to be linked with emotion. This is why it can affect how you feel, and help you relax. Massage helps your skin to absorb warmed essential oils; these oils improve the effectiveness of the massage in treating specific physical problems.  Aromatherapy is used in a number of ways, including:* relieving stress and anxiety; it is used with older people with dementia to relieve distress* helping you to sleep better; whether you have problems getting to sleep (insomnia) or staying asleep* helping you relax* relieving tiredness or aching muscles* improving flexibility* soothing chronic pain* improving skin tone* aiding concentration.

SWEDISH MASSAGE

What is Swedish massage?

In Sweden, “Swedish massage” is simply known as “classic massage”, and that is exactly what it is – a classic treatment which represents the western standard for massage.  Swedish massage has been portrayed on TV in the past as a very hard massage performed by some sadistic therapist in a medical-style uniform, but this is just TV…The five main techniques used in Swedish massage – stroking and gliding; kneading; rubbing; tapping or “pounding”; vibration – are probably what spring to mind when you think about a “typical” massage. They’re designed to improve your circulation, soothe your muscles and make you more relaxed.

What is Swedish massage good for?

Swedish massage uses softer strokes on the bonier and more delicate parts of the body, and stronger strokes where there is thicker muscle coverage. This sensitivity to pressure makes it ideal for relaxation.  Besides the calming benefits, Swedish massage is thought to be good for:* easing muscular strain by flushing out toxins* improving circulation by increasing oxygen flow in the blood* helping to keep ligaments and tendons supple stimulating the nervous system* reducing emotional and physical stress.

RELAX MASSAGE

Relaxation massage

A relaxation massage is a whole-body, hands-on treatment that uses pressure, stroking and rubbing of your skin to help you relax.

What is a relaxation massage?

Most massage treatments will relax you, among other things. With a relaxation massage, relaxing you is the only aim. For this reason, it is one of the most complete and indulgent massages you can have.  A relaxation massage is usually a full-body treatment involving soft music, soft lighting and aromatherapy oils. You will have a long, luxurious massage which will use all kinds of techniques including long strokes, gentle kneading and rolling of skin and muscle, and perhaps some rhythmic rocking from side to side.  Relaxation massage is a passive treatment. You probably won’t be stretched or manoeuvred into any yoga-like positions, as you are, for example, in Thai massage. You just lie there and take it. This is the massage to choose if you just want to chill out, and be pampered and spoiled.

What is relaxation massage good for?

The clue to relaxation massage is in the title. A good relaxation massage relieves stress and tension in your muscles and will leave you oozing with a sense of wellbeing.Relaxation massage achieves this because of the general benefits of massage: it improves your circulation, so your organs and skin get more oxygen; it moves fluid through your lymphatic system. A relaxation massage encourages your body to digest its food, and get rid of its toxins. It will help you to sleep better. A massage will also help un-knot any muscles, soothe aches and sprains and encourage the skin to heal minor abrasions.It is a natural instinct to rub or cuddle someone to give them comfort; a relaxation massage takes that instinct and runs with it, or rather “meanders” with it.
