High stress and irregular meals take a toll on our health. We are always trying to achieve a balance between our work, family and social life, that sometimes, we forgot to take care of our physical well-being.
I headed to Spa Elements for their TCM Meridian Wellness Therapy, hoping to find the root cause of my health issues and address the imbalances in my body.
A welcoming and cosy reception.
The relaxing waiting area.
I was brought to the consultation room where the therapist helped me fill up my personal details and got to know more about my lifestyle.
A tea blend of American Ginseng, Chrysanthemum, Rose buds, Red Dates, Wolfberries and Orange Peel was served to refresh myself. Not only does it taste good, the tea blend came with health benefits. It helped to regulate blood pressure, reduce heatiness, detoxify, strengthen lungs, improve sleep, and brighten eyes.
TCM Meridian Wellness Therapy is a healing body massage that stems from Traditional Chinese Medical principles. Spa Elements uses a Meridian Point Health Analyzer to measure our meridian points and to analyse imbalances in our body, before personalising a healing massage to work on the respective acupoints.
The helpful and friendly therapist filled in my particulars into the system and took my pulse from both my hands and legs to get an accurate reading.
The diagnosis showed that I was high on “water element” as shown by the how the white line skewed towards “water” in the diagram. If the white line is in the blue zone, it means that you are too low for that element in your body, and if its in the red zone, it means that you are too high in that particular element.
The herbs that were used in the TCM treatment for each element.
Jing Qi Shen 5 Elements Herbal Essential Oils that were made from the herbs shown above. These essences will be used in your TCM Meridian Wellness Therapy and they will be prescribed based on our body needs as diagnosed above.
I was prescribed the water element essence for treatment.
Shortly after, I was brought into the treatment room, where the therapist used the Jing Qi Shen 5 Elements Herbal Essential Oils essence and Infra Ray Moxibustion to achieve maximum effectiveness. Infr a Ray Moxibustion uses infra rays to stimulate acupressure points to improve Qi flow. Infra ray energy is transmitted to relevant body areas via the meridian network to promote healing.
Infra Ray Moxibustion
The whole process felt more like a spa massage than a TCM therapy. The massage loosened my tense muscles and helped me feel relaxed. The therapist also explained to me which acupoints she was pressing on and what she was doing throughout the process to give me a better understanding of my health issues.
