High Life

品 86 #8 2017 年 5 月 HIGH LIFE #8 May 2017 87 “I have muscle pain and would like to try a deep tissue massage that induces relaxation,” I say. “To release tension and relax tired muscles, the traditional Thai herbal therapy with warm herbal poultice comprised of ginger, turmeric, kaffir lime and lemongrass would be perfect. The compress massage also stimulates circulation,” the host explains. Following the initial consultation, I walk through a dimly lit corridor into an oasis of tranquility – the private spa room. My customized treatment starts with a signature foot ritual. The music, temperature and pressure are all to my liking, but before we start the compress massage, I decide to first immerse my body in the Indocéane precious milk bath. Inspired by the Egyptian ritual of bathing in milk by the Nile river, the soak contains algae extract and Milk thistle oil. It relaxes the mind, softens the skin and envelopes it in an aromatic, protective veil. When it finally comes the time to begin the treatment, I can feel that the grape seed oil is heated. My very first impression is one of warm comfort. With practiced strokes, my masseuse commences work on my sore muscles as I embark on a journey of tranquility and ultimate repose. After 90 minutes, the wonderful experience concludes with a cup of rose tea and delicious cookies. Refreshed and revived, I indeed have been awakened, ready to face life and all its splendor once again. 初步咨询过后，我穿过一条灯光朦胧的走廊，进入宁静祥 和的私人水疗室。我的订制护理疗程始于特色足浴，音乐、温 度和按摩力度均恰到好处，但在舒压按摩开始之前，我决定先 来一场华贵滋润的埃及贵族牛奶浴。 其灵感来自埃及艳后对牛奶浴的青睐，蕴含藻类提取物和 乳蓟油，有助于释放心灵，软化肌肤，令宾客尽情沉醉于香气 四溢的呵护之中。 随后按摩疗程开始，此时葡萄籽精油已变得温润。我的第 一印象，温暖而舒适。按摩师开始在我酸痛的肌肉上展开熟练 的手法，而属于我的一场极致写意之旅亦正式开启。九十分钟 后，玫瑰茶饮和美味饼干为这个旅程画上了惬意的句点。 感官觉醒，重拾朝气之后，我准备好了再度迎接五彩斑斓 的生活。
