Thai massages

The founder of Thai massage and medicine is Shivago Komarpaj (Jīvaka Komarabhācca) who in the Pali Buddhist Canon appears to have been Buddha’s doctor more than 2500 years ago. Thai massage, as well as Thai medicine in general, is a combination of influences from the cultural sphere and tradition of Indian, Chinese and South East Asian medicine. Thai massage, herbal healing and meditation are the basis of Thai medicine. The general purpose of traditional Thai massage is to achieve balance of body and soul through deep relaxation and a simultaneous intense flow of vital energy.

Aromatherapy is a therapeutic massage based on essential oils of plant origin added to the oil or lotion used in the massage.
