What Treatments Do We Offer

In our spa, you’ll encounter various therapeutic approaches. The specific treatments we use depend on your typology and type of energy imbalance.

 

Holistic Diagnosis According to Traditional Tibetan Medicine

The diagnosis serves to determine individual typology and assess energy imbalances. It’s based on detailed medical history and examination of pulse, urine, tongue, eyes, and other body parts. Based on the examination, we recommend appropriate therapeutic procedures within Tibetan medicine, lifestyle changes or dietary habits, and other approaches as needed.

 

 

 

Ku Nye (kunye)

An oil massage aimed at restoring the body’s energy balance. Originating from the Tibetan Kingdom 3,900 years ago, it’s an original practice of the Tibetan medical tradition. Kunye has regenerative and strengthening effects, releases muscle tension, restores function of internal and sensory organs, and detoxifies. It helps eliminate neurological and psychological issues such as insomnia, anxiety, and depression, releases stress, and reduces pain and nervousness. The massage is performed with warm sesame or almond oil according to the client’s typology. It may include gentle joint mobilization, as joints are considered centers of bodily energy.

 

Herbal Moxa Horme

Along with Kunye massage, it’s considered the most effective external therapy for calming life energy imbalance (wind energy). Horme originates from Mongolia. It was regularly applied to Genghis Khan – his vitality and ability to conceive offspring even at an advanced age is attributed to Horme. Horme therapy involves applying pouches filled with herbs soaked in warm sesame oil to specific points. The pouches are filled with a mixture of herbs or seeds according to the desired effect, most commonly combining cumin, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Horme effectively treats mental and emotional disorders, reduces tension and stress, e.g., after severe shock, personal tragedies, surgeries, heavy bleeding, childbirth, etc.

 

Stone Massage Donye

Both cold and hot stones of various types are used according to the desired effect. Each stone has the ability to work with specific bodily energy. Stones can be placed on certain spots or moved along energy pathways. For example, agate is suitable for gallbladder problems and inflammation, warm lava stones are applied to support digestive fire or kidneys, crystal helps with feverish conditions, inflammation, and mental confusion.
