THE LOST REMEDIES

One of the many attributes of the Laos culture is how resourceful its people are, drawing from nature wherever possible to support life and healthy living in every aspect possible. Laos didn’t always have accessibility to modern medicine but their ability as a culture to thrive and heal itself was accredited to their respect for mother nature and their understanding of her many powers. Traditional Laos healers are diminishing in today’s culture due to technology and western advancements in modern medicine.

At Sense Spa, we are working to preserve the Lost Remedies that came before our time. Growing our very own spa garden rich in local and indigenous plants, herbs and fruit, we want you to see where your healing starts and how we will use those ingredients in your chosen spa treatments. Most of the Herbs are carefully chosen in our Pha Tad Ke Botanical Garden for you to see, touch, feel, smell and even taste.

TRADITIONAL LAO HERBAL POULTICE | ANCIENT HEALING

In Laos, the Traditional Lao Herbal Poultice was used when farmers had a long day and suffered from extreme back pain. Thought to have the healing effects of massage and the medicinal benefits of acupuncture, this powerful combination of heat, steam and herbs, work in unison to heal and support the body. Our freshly picked herbs from our Spa Garden are combined with intense heat to penetrate deep into the muscles, incorporating a detoxifying fusion of Crinum Lily, Camphor Tree, Lao Coriander, White Butterfly Bush and Lao Rice. Reduce aches and pains, stimulate blood circulation, increase lymphatic drainage, detoxify and condition the skin. A powerful combination of ancient healing.

Soothing brown sugar and honey

This journey offers a peek into the inner culture of Laos and the impressive care and attention the community puts into supporting themselves and each other. It is composed of five individual elements that when combined are sure to leave you profoundly changed for the better.

Element 1 - Baci Ceremony: Participate in a traditional Lao Baci Ceremony in the nearby village. The Baci Ceremony is founded upon the Lao people’s belief that a human being is a union of thirty-two organs, each having a khuan (the Lao word for spirit) to protect it. These spirits often wander outside the body causing an imbalance of the soul, which might lead to an illness. This ceremony brings these spirits into harmony and conveys good fortune to your body. Experience this intimate and exclusive ritual from the true perspective of a Laos native.

Element 2 – Sense-Inspired Lunch: Replenish your body with a personally created menu by our executive chef.

Element 3 – Cleansing Water Ritual: Your treatment begins with a cleansing with water from the Star Gooseberry and Air Plant sprayed over your body, producing a refreshed sensation prior to the invigorating and detoxifying full body scrub.

Element 4 – Invigorating Scrub: The mixture of White Crane, Good Luck Tree, Sweet Flag, Cassia Fistula and local Brown Sugar is a powerful exfoliator and is believed to bring harmony to you and your healing.

Element 5 – Detoxifying Massage: Your traditional Lao journey will finish with an invigorating and energizing massage.

Duration: 5 hours + Wellness lunch
