Total Wellness How it is done:
Where: Essence Spa, Al Inshirah Street, Madinat Al Alam What’s it all about: The Jasmine Breeze Package is a two-hour escape from the stress-filled world… All you have to do is to relax and surrender to an invigorating, refreshing and rejuvenating floral treatment. The jasmine flower is a vital part of the treatment. It is said to calm the nerves and help ease tension. It is widely used in aromatherapy to calm the emotions and to cure depression because it produces a feeling of confidence, optimism and euphoria. It revitalises and restores the balance of energy.
Your spa journey begins with a refreshing drink. A few sips of ‘Roselle’ (a drink made with hibiscus and also known as karkade) is known to lower high blood pressure. A cool foot bath then awaits you in the open garden area where an exfoliating jasmine foot scrub is used to polish your soles to make it soft and smooth. After this is done, you will be taken to the beautifully designed treatment room for the jasmine body scrub. The gentle scrub is rich in nutrients that replenish the skin with pure healing oils, making the body skin soft and radiant. Jasmine extracts are also known for treating dull and spotty skin… so this scrub works best. You can rinse off with the Spa’s indoor rain shower and following this, submit yourself to a soothing Balinese massage that uses a combination of mild stretches, acupressure and jasmine aromatherapy oil to boost blood circulation and bring relaxation and wellness. You can end the treatment with a delightful plate of dates and apricots with hot jasmine tea. Sheer bliss, don’t you think?
Our verdict: In this world where stress is an inherent part of our lifestyle, taking two hours off for this wonderful spa package is not a luxury, but a necessity. Go for it!
