  • Chi Nei Tsang
  • A speciality at Chiva-Som, Thailand’s unique abdominal massage works directly over the navel and surrounding abdominal areas where stress, tension and negative emotions accumulate. If this area is congested, the circulating energy of the body is blocked, slowly weakening internal organs and decreasing energy and vitality. Chi Nei Tsang helps to quickly release negative emotions and tension, bringing comfort to the abdomen and vital energy to the organs. This technique is particularly effective for those who have digestive problems. A course of three treatments is recommended for optimal benefits.

  • Colonic Hydrotherapy
  • Colonic hydrotherapy remains one of the oldest treatments in recorded history for detoxification and cleansing of the large intestine. An unbalanced diet can leave this organ blocked with deposits, leading to poor nutrient absorption, chronic ailments and lowered vitality. One to three colonic hydrotherapy sessions are highly recommended during a detoxification period, resulting in an almost immediate increase in energy, clarity of mind and better health. Many ailments such as irritable bowel, constipation, skin complaints, headaches, lymphatic congestion, parasitic infection, fatigue and even emotional stress can be improved by the cleansing and decongestion of the bowel.

This technique is particularly effective for those who have digestive problems. A course of three treatments is recommended for optimal benefits.

  • Ear-Ab Reflex
  • Ear-abdominal reflexology is an effective alternative to Chi Nei Tsang or abdominal massage, ideal for those who prefer a lighter touch. Ear Ab Reflex stimulates points in the ears that reflect the associated organs in the body, based on the same meridian principles as TCM. By facilitating energy flow within the major systems of the body from the ear reflex points, the body can be restored to its optimal function.

  • Reiki Gemstones Therapy
  • Reiki is a Japanese technique administered by “laying on hands”, and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what gives us life. This treatment focuses healing on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. The use of specially-selected gemstones with Reiki increases the potential benefit, by drawing negative energy out of the person’s energy field and rejuvenating the mind-body systems. Aromatherapy and therapeutic sound adds to a potent healing experience, allowing the body, mind and spirit to recharge and rebalance.

  • Shirobhyanga
  • Shirobhyanga is one of the classical Ayurvedic Rasayana, or rejuvenation therapies. In this treatment imbalance will be ayurvedically diagnosed and individually selected medicated oil will be used to massage the head. Special attention is given to the marma points (acupressure points) so that deep and penetrating release of blockages will take place and also lymph drainage will occur. The head is the centre of the whole nervous system and when stimulated by massage the benefits are numerous and profound. Shirobhyanga can relieve many of the stresses and strains that cause tension, fatigue and insomnia.

  • Acupressure Reflexology
  • A traditional Chinese healing method, reflexology works on the connection between specific reflex points in the feet and all other body parts. After determining these tender and tense spots, the therapist then applies pressure on the feet to alleviate the local discomfort and treat the body parts reflected. Reflexology stimulates these points in order to improve and strengthen the weak areas of the body, remove congestion and eliminate discomfort. As tensions are eased and circulation is improved, this gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself at its own pace, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.

  • Dry Skin Brushing
  • Skin is the body’s biggest elimination organ, and dry skin brushing is a highly effective way to remove the dead layers and rejuvenate the healthy skin underneath. It also encourages the flow of blood and lymph to eliminate the toxins.

  • Crystal Massage and Quantum Healing
  • This unique treatment combines both physical touch and energy healing, to deeply relax and improve both blood and lymphatic circulation. The use of energy during the massage not only serves to increase the therapeutic work of the massage but also allows for a deeper state of healing and relaxation. The therapist, uses warmed, carefully selected jade stones and therapeutic oil, to relieve muscle tension and release trapped emotions. The session ends with a cooled rose quartz crystal, to emphasise the energy healing nature of this treatment and to facilitate the release of any lingering negative emotions as well as promote life-force energy.
