Ama-Releasing Abhyanga

four seasons picIn need of some T.L.C? Head to the ESPA Spa at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel, Hampshire for the ultimate pampering experience. 

The Four Seasons Hampshire is home to one of the most luxurious ESPA spas in the UK, and if you can only try one thing during your visit make it the Ayurvedic Ama-Releasing treatment for a full body overhaul.

Ayurvedic is a therapy used to balance the body based on ancient Indian medicines. Every mum out there deserves a little pampering and ‘me time’ and nothing restores well-being to a neglected, tired body quite like this treatment.

The two-hour treatment (yes, a whole, blissful two hours) begins with a welcome foot ritual followed by a top-to–toe body brush and a stimulating exfoliation of salt and warm oil.  Once the scrub has been massaged in all over your body and washed off, a warm infusion of oils and herbs is generously applied to the core energy centres of the face and body.

Your therapist will then begin the deep ayurvedic arma massage.  After this, your therapist concludes the treatment with an indulgent and relaxing head massage.

Thankfully, the spa has a Relaxation Room to retire to as you won’t be ready to face the world for a little time after the treatment.

This is possibly the most indulgent treatment you will ever experience, and the results aren’t to be sniffed at either.  Your skin will feel cleansed and silky-soft.  Try to leave the oils on for as long as possible before showering for longer-lasting results.

120 minutes at £185.  Available nationwide at Fourseasons.com or nationwide at Espaonline.com
