The concern for, and maintenance of, health and wellness has
been very much a part of Eastern culture since time
immemorial. This has allowed the practice to develop into
something of a fine art, and in Malaysia, influences from
various ancient therapies have been infused into modern spa
therapies. Spa and wellness programmes in Malaysia that
combine traditional methods alongside modern ones in a
designer ambience can offer you a delightful experience.
Malaysia, being a multi-cultural country, has at its disposal
a huge range of traditional spa treatments handed down from
generation to generation. Age-old Javanese beauty and wellness
regimens, ancient Ayurvedic treatments from India,
reflexology, accupressure and Shiatsu practices founded in
China, among others, have a deep understanding of the human
body, dispensing herbal recipes for baths, massage oils and
scrubs. |

Today, these curative and relaxing treatments are available at
spas designed to create peace and tranquility within the soul
of the visitor. Set against a lush tropical backdrop, and
presented with nutritious and detoxifying fresh food and
herbal drinks, most of these luxury spas are also equipped
with jacuzzis, steam rooms, saunas, swimming pools and double
baths. Malaysia has recently seen an influx of designer spas
in the capital of Kuala Lumpur, but most spas are tucked away
in resorts, nestled in lush rainforests or overlooking the
lapping sea shore.
While regular medical check-ups take care of our physical
health, some suggest that regular spa sessions not only
enhance emotional and mental well-being but also serve as oil
would to a well-functioning machine. Malaysia provides a
serene and picturesque backdrop for the health rituals that
are among the oldest in the world. So, whatever your
stress-relief needs might be, the time is now, the place is
Malaysia.
