The Natural Asian Way to Health and Beauty.
Feel-good therapies and natural healing are the lifestyle mantras of the new millennium. To cater to this, holistic spas have sprung up all over the world, with Asia leading the way in the back-to-nature market, reviving many of its ancient techniques and treatments that have been handed down from one generation of women to the next.
This book focuses specifically on stress-busting therapies from Thailand: running the gamut from the many types of Thai massage and meditation, to full beauty treatments, facials, relaxing baths and scrubs, healthy tonics and much more, are all offered with recipes and/or instructions that are easy to follow.
Practical tips are given to allow the reader to recreate these recipes at home, and specific treatments are outlined for specific ailments (sun-burn, dry split hair, tired eyes and so on). All are designed to soothe, nurture and calm, and with superb, full colour photography using many of Thailand's hot faces and shot entirely in Thailand's super-deluxe spas, the book is guaranteed to seduce both the mind and the senses.
