Embracing the Natural Healing Powers of Thai Herbs

Surrounded by a spectacular green environment, the Four Seasons Resort in Chiang Mai has taken their focus on nature into their treatments at the spa.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with a choice of homemade teas (pandan with mint or ginger), containing ingredients grown right in the resort’s garden. And the theme continues throughout the treatment rooms. Many treatments include homegrown herbs, which are well-known for their healing properties. For example the 4-hour Herbal Blend Ritual is the ideal treatment for guests, who wish to experience the benefits of the native Thai plants. It begins with a Thai herbal steam in your own private steam room, offering you a mixture of herbs, including aromatic pandan leaves and stimulating lemongrass, invigorating wild lime, and bai nart (a type of camphor known for its ability to improve the respiratory system and circulation).

And should you be curious to see where all the wonderful Thai herbs come from, don’t hesitate to visit the Spa’s herb garden and even pick some of the herbs before your treatment.
