In winter, try the Balinese massage (Spa Review)
January 17th, 2010 - 11:39 am ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Jan 17 (IANS) If you find the cold playing havoc with your skin, may be it’s time you tried the Balinese Ritual massage - ideal for winter conditions. It is provided at Mystic Cures Salon & Spa in the capital.
Spread over an area of 6,000 square feet, the spa has four big spacious rooms with a separate section for steam and bath facilities.
Each room has stones and pebbles spread on the floor and it is furnished with wooden furniture. A square shaped water pond in one corner with rose petals floating on it and soothing music make you at ease with the surrounding.
This massage is done only with olive oil. It is an intense medium for a strong, deep tissue massage in which the therapist uses thumb and palm pressure with firm strokes all over the body.
The focus here is on massaging your body with fine strokes and on pressure points to relieve stress, increase blood circulation and improve energy flow.
And a plus point of the Balinese Ritual massage is that it is considered best for the winter season because olive oil heals the cracks and dry skin of your body, leaving it smooth and supple.
Go for a steam session after the massage and then a quick hot bath to rediscover a relaxed you.
Location: Mystic Cures Salon & Spa Mehrauli, Punjabi Bagh in the capital.
Duration: 60 minutes.
Price: Rs. 2,500.
