TRADITIONAL MALAY MASSAGE
The art of traditional Malay massage is passed on from generation to generation.
The 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
with special local ingredients such as turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, onion and
citronella that invigorates circulation. It ends with an earthen pot prepared
remedy of scented herbal roots and flower buds, a special tonic believed by some to be
the secret of anti-aging.
JARI-JEMARI (HAND AND FOOT SOAK)
This treatment is an indulgence for the senses. First, both the hands and feet
are soaked in a warm herbal bath. You can feel a tingling sensation as the herbs
work their way to help relieve aches, improve circulation, reduce inflammation
and joint conditions. A scrub and a massage to soothe and pamper your tired
limbs follow this soak.
RENDAM-RENDAM (SITZ BATH) *
This treatment has been practised among Malay women for generations
contributing to the wellness of the genital organs and the firmness of the
vaginal muscles as they age. The curative properties of piper betel and black
seed with their natural antiseptic relieve and soothe irritations from fungal
infections and heavy discharge as the body is immersed in the specially prepared
herbal concoction. It is highly recommended for piles and genital discomfort
and also helps to strengthen the uterus after childbirth and menstruation.
