Spa Village - Honouring Healing Traditions (Hardcover)

This book showcases six beautifully designed, culture-rich spas and retreats. It explores the spas, their locales and treatments along with the fascinating history behind their inception, with roots in Ayurveda, Chinese Traditional Medicine, rural herbalism and Unani and the practices of forest-dwelling indigenous peoples. Historical analysis of some of the region's more esoteric practices - Balinese spirituality and magic, the dangers of collecting birds' nests, the botanical heritage of the orang asli in Malaysia, and traditional Indonesian tonics - is also fully explored. A must-have for spa aficionados, Spa Village: Honouring Healing Traditions is a book about beauty, wellness and spirituality, from the inside out.
