Traditional treatments that help combat the stress-related discomforts and allow for the optimum level of well-being
Chronic physical or mental stress, or a constant stress experienced over a prolonged period of time, can have a significant impact on various aspects of a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Traditional Thai Medicine offers a holistic approach to deal with stress-related health issues by addressing imbalances in the body and mind.
This retreat is the key factor to rejuvenate and re-energize your body and mind, as well as boosting your overall health and well-being.

Traditional Thai Medicine states that the human body is composed of the three invisible life-forces or bio-energies which exist in four different states of density, the four elements namely Earth, Water, Wind and Fire. The four elements are the building blocks of the body while Pitta, Vata and Sem-Ha, the three life- forces are responsible for all functions in both body and mind.
Pitta (energy of fire) governs the digestion of foods, thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Metabolism, body temperature and the intelligence are also responsibilities of Pitta.
Vata (energy of wind) is the energizing force for everything in body and mind-flow of the breath, pulsation of the heart, movement of nerve impulses, circulation of blood and lymph, elimination of wastes, all muscle contractions, movement of nutrients into and wastes out of cells and activities of the mind.
Sem-ha (energy of water) nourishes and hydrates all cells and systems, lubricates the joints, moisturizes the skin, maintains immunity, and protects the tissues
We are healthy and happy so long as the three life-forces continuously flow and maintain their balance with each other. When they go out of balance, they can cause symptom and we become unwell.
According to Traditional Thai Medicine, stresses cause imbalanced Pitta and leads to the excess of fire in the body. The prolonged exposure to stress could impair Pitta and consequently cause Vata and Sem-ha imbalance with an excess of toxin in the body. A combination of imbalance life-forces and accumulated toxins in the body generate the negative effects at the physical and mental levels.

Thai traditional cupping is a type of therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction moves stagnation to the skin surface and releases it out of the body. This treatment stimulates the flow of energy and blood, promotes oxygen supply and removes toxins, relieving pain and tension.
If the stagnation slows down or completely stops the transportation of fluid and water, resulting in accumulations that may eventually condense into water energy, wet cupping therapy will be practiced.
In wet cupping therapy, a small lancet is used to make light, tiny cuts on the skin. Next, a second suction is done to draw out a small quantity of blood. Harmful substances and toxins accumulated are removed from the body to promote healing.

The heat of water and herbs encourages the free flow of downward-moving prana. This prana is responsible for all downward- moving impulses of elimination, menstruation, parturition and sexual functions. The treatment provides relief from constipation, painful periods and impotence.
