Asian secrets of health, beauty and relaxation

.....

It is this ability to commune with abundant nature that puts tropical spas in a league of their own. Treatment rooms in all the better spas effortlessly fuse indoor and outdoor space so that it feels quite normal to be doused with water or rubbed with yoghurt while standing naked under the stars. It is somehow liberating to sit naked in a hot Jacuzzi pool which teeters on the lip of a dramatic river gorge while, at the same time, listening to frogs and being tickled by ferns that catch the breeze. And it is a rare bucolic pleasure to lie in an outdoor bath and splatter your body with handfuls of flower heads that float alongside in the water.

The tropical treatment processes themselves unravel yet more exotic sensations. A trickle of cucumber pulp between the toes beats rubbing cream in your heels. The heat of cloves and ginger smeared over your shoulder or the pungent smell of coffee bean wafting up from your cleavage elicits a giggle of decadent delight. Nature's store cupboard, is feeding your body, but hey, this is also fun!
