Eastern Acupressure Facial with Thai Foot Massage Ritual

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese therapy which has been practiced and used for over 5000 years. It was discovered that by pressing certain points of the body, pain or disease were alleviated – often in regions of the body remote from the pain or pressure point.

Benefits for the Face and head

* Improvement of muscular tone and facial contours, including the area between the nose and mouth (specifically a problem for smokers).

* Promotes an effective lymphatic flow and removal of toxins.

What happens during the Acupressure Facial and Thai foot massage ritual

Feet

During a session, your feet and lower legs will be soaked in soapy water and an edible scrub used on the lower legs and feet – in keeping with the Ayurvedic tradition. The Thai foot massage involves some stretching, sen line balancing and deep massage using different techniques with the hands and a rosewood tool.

Face

Cleanser will then be gently massaged into your face and removed. Massage cream is then applied. The neck, face and ears are massaged and acupressure points are stimulated.

‘Smoothing and plumping’ relieves facial tension and reduces lines and wrinkles. ‘Stroking and cleaning’ and ‘pulsing drainage’ disperses the toxins to encourage lymphatic flow.

After Care Advice

This therapy has a detoxifying effect on the body and you can encourage this by drinking plenty of water and avoiding caffeine, nicotine and alcohol for the next 24 hours. Also try to avoid any strenuous exercise for 24 hours following treatment and try to rest and allow your body to heal from within.
