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.

 Key
Tips
Although there are many 5-star resorts that offer spas, ask
around to see which ones have a good spa with a solid reputation
instead of a spa that's just an add-on to the resort.
