Thousands of years later, gut health has become an area for intensive scientific research that bears out this assertion, as well as revealing a strong link between the health of our gut and the health of our mind. Specialised treatments drawing from yoga, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and naturopathy will be tailored around your particular health condition, focused to restore harmony to this most integral of organs that forms the very foundation of our wellbeing.

YOUR TREATMENTS EXPLAINED
BIO IMPENDANCE ANALYSIS
BIA is a method of measuring several key health markers including levels of hydration, the ratio of body fat against lean muscle mass, and cellular vitality. This helps to determine a realistic measure of your health and wellbeing. This information is useful for setting goals for weight management and fitness, and for making appropriate recommendations to achieve a better body balance to improve overall health and prevent illness. Body Bioimpedance Analysis gives valuable information on cellular health, metabolism and toxicity to help create naturopathic, nutrition, or exercise programs suited to your individual needs.
TRADITIONAL THAI THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT
Traditional Thai Therapeutic Treatment is also known as ‘medical massage’ and is based on the Royal Thai style, ‘Rajasamnak’ which was historically only used to treat the Thai aristocracy and the Royal Family. Furthermore, the theory behind Traditional Thai Therapeutic Treatment is also based on the medical inscriptions and illustrations displayed at Wat Pho temple in Bangkok. This temple is renowned for its prestigious massage school which utilises ancient pressure point techniques. These therapeutic points and energy pathways known as Sen, are based on the principle of energy flow where applying massage techniques at precise anatomical locations produces specific therapeutic effects.
YOGA
Yoga is a way of life based on ancient Indian philosophy; a way of integrating your whole being so that all aspects of your life work in harmony. Yoga is a complete system for living life and for conscious evolution, thus helping to create balance in your life whilst creating a flexible mind, body and soul. Physical postures, breath and meditation are the primary aspects of this practice. A variety of Yoga styles are taught at Kamalaya and our instructors will ensure that sessions are appropriate for your current level of experience and personal goals.
CHI NEI TSANG
Chi Nei Tsang is excellent for a diversity of health imbalances from digestive problems to nervous tension and stress. It promotes circulation and therefore health of the internal organs, while also balancing the nervous system to release stress and facilitate healing. Based on the Taoist theory that refers to the ‘gut’ as a ‘second brain’, this treatment releases stored emotional and psychological tension and stress thereby promoting healing on an emotional level. A series of treatments is most beneficial. Chi Nei Tsang is especially recommended for all detoxification, stress release and weight balancing programs.
KATI VASTI
Kati refers to the lower back in Sanskrit. This treatment focuses specifically on treating discomfort relating to the back, such as chronic tension, a prolapsed disk or sciatica. Kati Vasti also benefits hypertension, cardiac related conditions and fertility. Psychological imbalances relating to fear, shock and the feeling of lack of support in life correlate to this area of the body in Traditional Chinese Medicine. A medicinal paste is applied in a ring around the affected area, and warm Ayurvedic oil is poured in its centre. The oil is kept within the ring for 30 minutes. This application is followed by back massage and steam with hot towels for a deeply nourishing and supportive experience. It is highly recommended that you avoid the sun for several hours after your treatment.
IV THERAPY
IV therapy involves the dripping of specially formulated infusion fluids directly into the bloodstream at a controlled rate. Our highly trained nurses will connect the drip to your vein, which is quick and painless, while you are comfortably seated and relaxed. Our potent infusions provide powerful benefits from boosting brainpower, metabolism, energy levels and immunity to reversing the signs of ageing and sleep enhancement. The duration of the therapy depends on your body’s state and condition, but it will typically require a minimum of 90 minutes. Some IV therapies can be done in less time, while others take longer.
LANA ABDOMINAL SAMUNPHRAI RON
Lanna Abdominal Samunprai Ron massage is an ancient herbal medicine treatment that comes from northern Thailand. Using fresh spicy herbs that are rich in essential oils and fire flare, the herbal remedies are heated and applied to the abdominal area where according to Thai traditional medicine “Sen Sib or Sen Prathan Sib” meridian line is situated. The treatment rebalances energy and the body’s elements resulting in improved digestion, relief of flatulence and constipation, reduced menstrual cramps and chronic lower back pain.
HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
Before a guest undergoes hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Kamalaya’s medical team will examine the guest’s physical condition. During the treatment, the guest will be assisted into the hyperbaric chamber, where the guest will lie wearing an oxygen mask, while 93 – 97% pure oxygen is released and the atmospheric pressure is increased to greater than normal. Inside the chamber, the guests can adjust their posture and position so that they are comfortable and relaxed throughout the treatment.
The therapy session lasts between 75-90 minutes and the number of recommended HBOT sessions depends on the purpose of the treatment and how well the patient responds to the therapy. When the session is complete, the chamber is slowly depressurised to normal atmospheric pressure before the guest can exit the chamber. This treatment is not suitable for those with claustrophobia.
HOLISTIC ACCUPRESSURE FACIAL MASSAGE
The fruit of a collaboration between our Thai medicine practitioner and cranio-sacral therapist, this deeply relaxing treatment uses traditional Thai meridian principles to slow down a hyperactive mind and restore inner calm. The face is gently prepared with coconut oil before acupressure points on the face, neck and ears are stimulated using fingertips and heated herbal compresses packed with nourishing Thai medicinal powders. The massage technique promotes lymphatic drainage for a detoxing effect that leaves you with a clear head, radiant glow and a soothed soul.
TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the contemporary version of China’s 3,000 year-old medical system originating in Taoist philosophy. This ancient healing tradition is based on the recognition that there is a natural energy that resonates with the rhythms and cycles of life to which we are all connected. It is a comprehensive theoretical system based on the knowledge that vibrant health on all levels is the direct manifestation of a life lived in harmony with the principles of nature. The cycles, rhythms, and principles of nature are thought to be fully expressed within the human body in the form of the Five Elements. Therapies and treatments used include well- established techniques such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, nutrition, Qi Gong and forms of Chinese internal practices (breath, visualisation and movement) for cultivating Qi or vital energy and directing it towards the healing of self and others.
NUTRITIONAL GUIDENCE
Healthy eating is an integral part of Naturopathy. The Naturopath will discuss your nutritional goals and look at current dietary patterns. Beneficial for people who already follow a ‘healthy diet’ as well as those who have little or no nutritional knowledge, this session gives plenty of easy to implement take- home advice and takes an educational look at how foods work in the body. Individualised nutritional advice will be provided for any specific health conditions. Kamalaya emphasises wholesome food, as dietary habits play an important role in preventative and curative aspects of health. Nutrition plays a major role in restoring and maintaining health by supplying necessary nutrients to body cells for energy production, tissue repair, hormone production and proper organ function.
ABDOMINAL ORGAN THERAPY
Abdominal Organ Therapy is a manual therapy consisting of gentle, specifically placed manual forces that encourage normal mobility, tone and tissue motion of the internal organs, their connective tissue and other areas of the body. Motion is a sign of life itself. Everything in the universe is in motion. Everything moves in space and time and humans are no exception to this rule. Our bodies need movement to be healthy. This same principle applies to every structure in our bodies including the internal organs. Tissues lose their normal motion when they become inflamed. It can be conceptualised as a localised drying out of the affected tissues. Many factors can cause tissue inflammation including: infections, direct trauma, repetitious movement, diet, environmental toxins and emotional stress. The natural healing process involves local disruption of these relatively inelastic, granular tissues and their restoration to normal tissue fibres with the reability for appropriate motion.
BIORESONANCE THERAPY
An excellent treatment to restore the body’s energy systems and reduce the effects of jet lag. The Bioresonance Energy System produces a gentle pulsating energy field, stimulating the body’s cells to activate various physiological processes. The gentle pulses are identical to the natural energy fields the human body produces during exercise. Bioresonance harmonises the body’s energy and stimulates meridian pathways where energy seems depleted. Therapeutically, it helps to boost energy and performance, increase metabolism for weight loss, improve circulation and regulate blood pressure. Bioresonance stimulates healing and reduces pain. It is used to improve digestion and enhance detoxification, to stimulate the immune system, and to increase wellbeing by promoting restful sleep and relaxation. For a deeper relaxation effect, light and sound therapy are combined with the use of LED spectacles and headphones. More than one treatment may be recommended for optimum results.
PRANAYAMA
Pranayama is a system of yogic breathing techniques designed to maximise the flow of prana (vital life force). A private session will guide you in various techniques to control and regulate the breath, helping to calm the mind, balance emotions and reduce stress and anxiety. Your session will be tailored to your specific needs and level of experience.
OZONE THERAPY
Ozone therapy is done through autohemotherapy by drawing from your blood, mixing it with medical-grade oxygen that is exposed to UV light creating O3 bonds and reinjecting it into your bloodstream. The treatment is completely safe and painless and is supervised by our in-house medical team, while highly trained medical nurses administer an activated form of oxygen. The nurse will be present throughout the treatment to ensure guests are comfortable. One session may last 60-90 minutes depending on your overall health and physical condition.
ASIAN FOOT MASSAGE WITH HERBAL FOOT SOAK
Kamalaya’s Asian Foot Massage with Herbal Soak is a nourishing treatment which begins with a warm foot soak infused with locally sourced fresh and dried herbs renowned for their therapeutic properties. These herbs help to reduce muscle tension & stress, induce better sleep, inhibit arthritis, reduce inflammation and improve overall blood circulation. To ensure optimum benefits, the water temperature in the foot bath is set as close to 43 degrees as is comfortable. This allows the warmth to gradually penetrate and move up the legs and deeper into the body, bringing with it a welcome sense of calm and rejuvenation. A traditional Asian Hand Massage is then performed to open the energy channels of the chest and related organs, as well as opening the lungs for deeper breathing and the release of accumulated stress and emotions. Following this, a Traditional Asian Foot Massage works on specific pressure points to systematically activate nerve reflexes, thereby stimulating all of the body’s organs and tissues to improve overall function and wellbeing.
MARMA POINT MASSAGE
Marma points are energy pathways where the body and mind communicate. Working on 107 energy points throughout your body to release toxins and relieve stress and tension, a Marma Point Massage will leave you in a state of complete harmony and bliss. A cleansing and harmonising therapy, it is a combination of energy balancing along with a subtle and circular stimulation of the Marma points. This therapy will leave you with a long-lasting sense of calm, rejuvenating your entire body.
