VTV.vn - Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An has added to its award-winning Heart of The Earth Spa the innovative Five Element Body Work Treatment.

The full-body treatment soothes stressed souls and balances mind and being, bringing perfect harmony to welcome a new year of wellness.

As New Year is around the corner, many travelers are longing for a quality vacation to recover after a challenging year of 2022. Retreat or Wellness holidays are getting more familiar with many Vietnamese travelers these days, and has become an emerging trend as people are more concerned about physical and mental health after the pandemic.

Known as the “hideaway heaven” for retreat seekers on the central coast of Vietnam, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An boasts a wide range of mindfulness and wellness activities, especially the Heart of The Earth Spa voted “Best Emotional Recovery Space 2019” by Conde Nast Traveler. This year, the resort has created the special Five Element Bodywork Treatment which combines all quintessential elements of the award-winning Spa to form an ultimate retreat experience for any visitor.

The Five Elements Bodywork originates from the ancient belief that the human body – like nature – is composed of five elements: Earth, Wood, Fire, Metal and Water. Nourishing each of these elements in our body and mind helps us attune to nature’s cycles, leaving us feeling grounded and healthy. All too often, however, our busy lives lead us away from harmony, and our lack of elemental nourishment causes us feeling disconnected with our inner self and the world around us. Based on this foundation, the Five Elements Bodywork is created to provide full-body treatment that relief stress and bring perfect harmony for body and mind, in five different ways:

1. A Natural Combination

Artfully blending stretching, palm effleurage, thumb slide, and knuckling, this full-body treatment harnesses a range of approaches to balance the five elements in the body. Benefits include: increased blood circulation and muscle flexibility; reduced fluid retention, stress and tension; deep relaxation and mental revitalisation – while the whole experience has been crafted to promote optimum inner flow and Earth energy connection.

2. Spa Ingredients Fresh from Mother Earth

Five Elements Bodywork incorporates organically grown, zero-mile ingredients fresh from our herb and vegetable farm to attune body and mind to the elements. To balance the Fire element, a warming hand-made paste of spicy ginger eases pain and tension while inspiring a connection to personal power and strength. Earth and Water elements are stimulated through a footbath of lemongrass, lemon and mint leaves – reducing inflammation, improving circulation and grounding body and mind – boosting the flow and movement of emotion and energy through the body for an optimised sense of freedom and refreshment.

3. Singing Bowls Attuned to Nature

Long renowned for aiding peaceful introspection, our crystal singing bowls are tuned to 432 Hz, the harmonic intonation of nature. Played at the start and end of the Five Elements Bodywork treatment, the resonant tones of the bowls help drift your body and mind into a blissful state of peace.

Traditional Hoi An Agarwood is ceremonially burned so that the soft, fragrant smoke helps energise the body’s qi (life-force), balancing the nervous system and invoking a sense of strength.

4. Tune into Potential

The Metal element is believed to align with intellect, mental intention and connection to universal life force. During Five Elements Bodywork, gem-tipped metal tuning forks create a beautiful subtle vibration that helps to create inner wellbeing – transporting body and mind to future hopes and dreams as the soft notes resonate all around.

5. Release, Rest and Rejuvenate

Working on body, mind and soul, the unique Five Elements Bodywork treatment takes you on a healing journey. The Wood element is all about growth, change and expansion. Traditional Hoi An Agarwood is ceremonially burned so that the soft, fragrant smoke helps energise the body’s qi (life-force), balancing the nervous system and invoking a sense of strength. At the end of a blissful 100 minutes, a refreshing cup of ginger tea with fresh pandan leaves gently brings you back to the present and aligns our emotions with the Water element.

Together with other signature treatments at the award-winning Heart of The Earth Spa, the Five Element Bodywork will be an indispensable part of your wellness holidays at Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai.
