YOUR TREATMENTS EXPLAINED

BIO IMPENDANCE ANALYSIS

BIA is a method of measuring several key health markers including levels of hydration, the ratio of body fat against lean muscle mass, and cellular vitality. This helps to determine a realistic measure of your health and wellbeing. This information is useful for setting goals for weight management and fitness, and for making appropriate recommendations to achieve a better body balance to improve overall health and prevent illness. Body Bioimpedance Analysis gives valuable information on cellular health, metabolism and toxicity to help create naturopathic, nutrition, or exercise programs suited to your individual needs.

NATUROPATHIC CONSULTATION

Our ancestors knew the healing power of plants. In modern times, methods have been devised to extract the healing compounds from medicinal plants. Naturopaths utilise herbs for short or long term treatment to support, heal, nourish, stimulate, or strengthen the body or body systems. A wide range of acute or chronic ailments can be addressed. The use of medicinal herbs promotes self-healing, greater wellbeing and prevention of disease. During a Naturopathic Consultation the practitioner looks at the person as a whole, reviewing signs and symptoms of all body systems, lifestyle and a brief review of diet. Treatment may include an individualised liquid herbal extract preparation, nutritional supplements, and ways to optimise diet and lifestyle may also be discussed.

NUTRITIONAL GUIDANCE

Healthy eating is an integral part of Naturopathy. The Naturopath will discuss your nutritional goals and look at current dietary patterns. Beneficial for people who already follow a ‘healthy diet’ as well as those who have little or no nutritional knowledge, this session gives plenty of easy to implement take- home advice and takes an educational look at how foods work in the body. Individualised nutritional advice will be provided for any specific health conditions. Kamalaya emphasises wholesome food, as dietary habits play an important role in preventative and curative aspects of health. Nutrition plays a major role in restoring and maintaining health by supplying necessary nutrients to body cells for energy production, tissue repair, hormone production and proper organ function.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Ultimately caused by imbalance, stress is the body’s attempt to regain balance. Ongoing stress causes a prolonged physiological response that results in every system within the body being affected, sometimes without you being aware; circulatory, respiratory, nervous, digestive, immune and hormonal systems are all at risk. Poorly managed stress can have serious consequences and may manifest physically, mentally and emotionally. After assessing your lifestyle and key stressors, your goals will be discussed, followed by the recommendation of practical tools and techniques to better manage the effects of stress in your life. These strategies may help you to feel more in control of situations, feel calm, think clearly and cope better in times of stress. With daily practice, you may be able to manage potential stressful situations in a proactive as well as reactive manner.

PERSONAL MENTORING

Personal mentoring sessions create a holistic healing experience that affects the physical body and brings balance to the emotional and spiritual realms. These sessions focus on helping you become free of conflicting and repetitive responses, rediscover your core strengths and values, establish greater love and connection in relationships, heal past emotions and discover a wonderful new way to get the best from life. Your Personal Mentor will take you through a process of healing using profound insights, powerful practices and ancient techniques of divine energy transfer.

PHYSIOTHERAPY SESSION

Physiotherapy helps to address reduced freedom of movement and function caused by postural imbalances, natural ageing and trauma. Our expert Physiotherapist will first evaluate your condition, taking into consideration alignment, posture, gait and any obvious restrictions of movement. As well as helping to relieve pain, Physiotherapy treatment also incorporates practical exercises to improve your range of motion, correct muscular imbalances, rehabilitate injuries and guide you on the path to recovery.

VITAL ESSENCE OIL MASSAGE

Kamalaya’s unique Vital Essence Oil Massage combines Asian knowledge of energy principles with the science of aromatherapy to create the perfect synergy between East and West. This magical and harmonising experience is a simple and effective way to let go of tensions, improve your health, balance your emotions and enhance your life. One of our Five Element essential oils will be selected to suit your body’s constitution: Water, Wood (Air), Fire, Earth, and Metal (Ether).

INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

Based on the ancient healing system of Ayurveda, this massage treatment is received in a seated position to relieve tension and blockages from your shoulders, neck, back and scalp. Using deep thumb and finger pressure, you will experience improved circulation to the head, the release of emotional and physical tension, and an enhanced state of relaxation and mental clarity.

THREE TREASURES

According to ancient Taoist theory, the body has three main energy centres – the ‘Three Dantian’ – where our life force or vital energy ‘Qi’ is gathered, stored and distributed throughout the entire body. Each Dantian is associated with particular physical, emotional and psychological functions and each is brimming with a specific type of energy. Collectively, the Dantian are referred to as the ‘Three Treasures’. This treatment combines healing methods selected for their ability to activate, harmonise and balance the ‘Three Treasures’ in order to restore the flow of vital energy for healing and revitalisation. These include techniques from Tui Na massage, Reiki and crystal healing as well as aromatherapy using Kamalaya’s bespoke ‘Three Treasures’ oil blends created specifically for this treatment. As well as supporting the individual function of each energy centre, it promotes an enhanced balance and harmony of the mind, body, emotions and spirit and creates an overall feeling of peace and integral alignment.

TRADITIONAL ASIAN FOOT MASSAGE

Ancient Chinese theory of approximately 5000 years ago observed that feet are miniature maps of your entire body, with specific points on the feet corresponding to all major body parts and organs. This treatment uses specific pressure points to systematically activate the nerve reflexes, thereby stimulating all body organs and tissues to improve overall function and wellbeing. Effective for calming the mind, relieving headaches and inducing deep and restful sleep.

CHI NEI TSANG

Chi Nei Tsang is excellent for a diversity of health imbalances from digestive problems to nervous tension and stress. It promotes circulation and therefore health of the internal organs, while also balancing the nervous system to release stress and facilitate healing. Based on the Taoist theory that refers to the ‘gut’ as a ‘second brain’, this treatment releases stored emotional and psychological tension and stress thereby promoting healing on an emotional level. A series of treatments is most beneficial. Chi Nei Tsang is especially recommended for all detoxification, stress release and weight balancing programs.

FAR INFRARED SAUNA

Far Infrared Therapy provides deeply penetrating heat while maintaining a comfortable air temperature of 42-45 degrees Celsius. Use of the Far Infrared Sauna has many therapeutic benefits; it stimulates circulation and boosts immunity, increases metabolism and the burning of calories, and promotes detoxification to purify the body. It may also reduce heavy metal accumulation. Far Infrared Therapy deep-cleanses the skin, reduces cellulite, and slows down the ageing process because it promotes skin cell regeneration and unburdens the body of toxins. Various skin conditions may be treated and joint or muscular inflammation reduced. The Far Infrared Sauna promotes deep muscle relaxation to banish tension and stress and a feeling of wellbeing is achieved. Please arrive at Wellness Reception with sufficient time before this treatment to drink the necessary water for hydration purposes. The cold plunge pool should be avoided immediately after this treatment.

HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

Before a guest undergoes hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Kamalaya’s medical team will examine the guest’s physical condition. During the treatment, the guest will be assisted into the hyperbaric chamber, where the guest will lie wearing an oxygen mask, while 93 – 97% pure oxygen is released and the atmospheric pressure is increased to greater than normal. Inside the chamber, the guests can adjust their posture and position so that they are comfortable and relaxed throughout the treatment.

The therapy session lasts between 75-90 minutes and the number of recommended HBOT sessions depends on the purpose of the treatment and how well the patient responds to the therapy. When the session is complete, the chamber is slowly depressurised to normal atmospheric pressure before the guest can exit the chamber. This treatment is not suitable for those with claustrophobia.

TRADITIONAL ASIAN HAND MASSAGE

Inspired by Korean hand acupuncture, this highly effective treatment opens the energy channels of your chest, lungs, and heart centre thereby facilitating the release of accumulated emotional stress and old emotional patterns (particularly those associated with sadness and grief). Profoundly effective for opening your heart centre and facilitating the flow of joy, love, and bliss, this treatment has a deeply balancing effect on your psyche. It also soothes the nerves in the arms and hands and helps reduce tension associated with desk work.

ROYAL AYURVEDIC MASSAGE

A traditional Indian massage using a combination of soothing and symmetrical long strokes to regulate the circulatory and nervous systems of the body. This detoxifying therapy uses warm herbal curative oil to leave you feeling refreshed, balanced and rejuvenated. The oils are generously poured over the entire body and then vigorously massaged into the skin. This traditional Indian massage detoxifies your body and revitalises your spirit. A steam bath is recommended following this massage.

SHIRODHARA

Shirodhara therapy works through to the deepest levels of one’s being. ‘Shiro’ translates from Sanskrit as head, and ‘dhara,’ as flow. A stream of warm, medicated oil is poured continuously on the forehead which helps to connect and energise the ‘nadis’, various channels that sustain our lives – from the circulation of fluids on the physical level to the subtle currents running through the meridians, chakras and auras. Using technical skill and intuition, this specialised treatment helps to improve blood supply, thereby increasing the flow of nutrients and oxygen, relieving tension, and promoting a clear pathway for nerve impulses to balance the nervous system and restore vitality. Shirodhara is recommended for sinus congestion, insomnia, and for clarity of mind. It is highly recommended that you avoid the sun for several hours after your treatment.

LOWER BODY TENSION RELIEF MASSAGE

With a specific focus on addressing the lower back and legs which are much affected by modern sedentary lifestyles, this treatment provides an intensive release of tension and stress using a variety of therapeutic and remedial techniques. This massage treatment improves blood circulation, alleviates anxiety and brings about a state of deep relief and relaxation. Potent active ingredients that penetrate into the tissue and strengthen muscles and joints are used together with techniques that will dissolve any tension in the body.

UPPER BODY TENSION RELIEF MASSAGE

This deep tissue massage focuses on releasing tension and discomfort in the areas most commonly affected by lifestyle and stress. Modern lifestyles which include long hours sitting at a computer and frequent travel on planes and cars promote poor posture and limited or repetitive movement. This leads to an imbalance in our natural flow of movement causing restricted blood flow, blocked energy circulation and even shallow breathing which often manifests as tension, fatigue and pain. Overworked areas such as back, neck and shoulder muscles tend to contract causing tightness and pain. By working deep into the layers of muscles and connective tissue with slow but very firm strokes, this massage effectively relieves tension and contractions in those areas and guides the body back to its natural state of balance. This treatment may also help to relieve headaches and stress.

HOLISTIC ACUPRESSURE FACIAL MASSAGE

The fruit of a collaboration between our Thai medicine practitioner and cranio-sacral therapist, this deeply relaxing treatment uses traditional Thai meridian principles to slow down a hyperactive mind and restore inner calm. The face is gently prepared with coconut oil before acupressure points on the face, neck and ears are stimulated using fingertips and heated herbal compresses packed with nourishing Thai medicinal powders. The massage technique promotes lymphatic drainage for a detoxing effect that leaves you with a clear head, radiant glow and a soothed soul.

PERSONAL MEDITATION

Meditation restores a state of balance and peace and leads us to greater levels of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Learn tailor-made meditation techniques to suit your particular needs, goals and level of experience. With regular practice you will experience profound shifts and enhanced feelings of peace and happiness.

PRANAYAMA

Pranayama is a system of yogic breathing techniques designed to maximise the flow of prana (vital life force). A private session will guide you in various techniques to control and regulate the breath, helping to calm the mind, balance emotions and reduce stress and anxiety. Your session will be tailored to your specific needs and level of experience.

REIKI

Reiki, a Japanese word meaning ‘Universal Life Energy’ is a therapy in which the Reiki healer is a channel or conduit for the energy. Reiki is an extremely effective technique for stress release and total relaxation. A sense of peace, vitality, and joy combined with the extremely pleasant feeling of security are common experiences. Reiki accelerates the body’s natural healing power and opens the mind, body and spirit in order to restore balance on an emotional and mental level. It is a nurturing energy that harmonises the mind, body and soul.

YOGA

Yoga is a way of life based on ancient Indian philosophy; a way of integrating your whole being so that all aspects of your life work in harmony. Yoga is a complete system for living life and for conscious evolution, thus helping to create balance in your life whilst creating a flexible mind, body and soul. Physical postures, breath and meditation are the primary aspects of this practice. A variety of Yoga styles are taught at Kamalaya and our instructors will ensure that sessions are appropriate for your current level of experience and personal goals.

BIORESONANCE THERAPY

An excellent treatment to restore the body’s energy systems and reduce the effects of jet lag. The Bioresonance Energy System produces a gentle pulsating energy field, stimulating the body’s cells to activate various physiological processes. The gentle pulses are identical to the natural energy fields the human body produces during exercise. Bioresonance harmonises the body’s energy and stimulates meridian pathways where energy seems depleted. Therapeutically, it helps to boost energy and performance, increase metabolism for weight loss, improve circulation and regulate blood pressure. Bioresonance stimulates healing and reduces pain. It is used to improve digestion and enhance detoxification, to stimulate the immune system, and to increase wellbeing by promoting restful sleep and relaxation. For a deeper relaxation effect, light and sound therapy are combined with the use of LED spectacles and headphones. More than one treatment may be recommended for optimum results.

OZONE THERAPY

Ozone therapy is done through autohemotherapy by drawing from your blood, mixing it with medical-grade oxygen that is exposed to UV light creating O3 bonds and reinjecting it into your bloodstream. The treatment is completely safe and painless and is supervised by our in-house medical team, while highly trained medical nurses administer an activated form of oxygen. The nurse will be present throughout the treatment to ensure guests are comfortable. One session may last 60-90 minutes depending on your overall health and physical condition.

IV THERAPY

IV therapy involves the dripping of specially formulated infusion fluids directly into the bloodstream at a controlled rate. Our highly trained nurses will connect the drip to your vein, which is quick and painless, while you are comfortably seated and relaxed. Our potent infusions provide powerful benefits from boosting brainpower, metabolism, energy levels and immunity to reversing the signs of ageing and sleep enhancement. The duration of the therapy depends on your body’s state and condition, but it will typically require a minimum of 90 minutes. Some IV therapies can be done in less time, while others take longer.
