Experience Thai-Style Natural Healing
A massage to restore balance among the elements. A herbal sauna to cleanse and rejuvenate the body. A herbal pack to calm nerves and redirect the energy. All this may sound very New Age in the West, but it has been part of daily life here for centuries. 

Before the arrival of modern medicine, herbalists filled the dual role of doctor-pharmacist. Originally, village doctors were monks or former monks, since Buddhist temples were the center of learning, not only of religion but of more worldly matters like astrology and medicine as well. 

Thai traditional medicine holds that the body has four elements: wind, water, earth and fire, and ill health results from an imbalance between them. To remedy an ailment, the village “doctor” would make a herbal pack for the patient to ingest, rub onto the skin, or add to a steam compress. Another major component of traditional medicine is energy. When the energy lines are blocked, the individual will become ill, physically or emotionally. A massage or sauna would be prescribed.

Die Granitinseln
Mit ihren steil aufragenden Bergen, die bis zu 900 m Höhe erreichen, und den riesigen, rundgeschliffenen granitenen Felsen haben die Seychellen einen ganz eigenen landschaftlichen Charakter. Nirgendwo sonst auf der Welt gibt es mitten im Ozean Granitfelsen, die wie Mahé, Silhouette, La Digue oder Praslin hoch aus dem Meer herausragen. Alle anderen ›ozeanischen‹ Inseln sind entweder vulkanischen oder korallinen Ursprungs. Wie sind diese Granitfelsen entstanden? Als in uralten Zeiten die Erdteile Südamerika, Afrika und Asien aus dem Gondwanaland genannten Urkontinent herausbrachen, blieben an der ›Nahtstelle‹ zwischen dem heutigen Indien und der afrikanischen Ostküste zwei große und einige kleine ›Brocken‹ stehen. Die großen Reststücke heißen heute Madagaskar und Sri Lanka, während einige kleine ›Kiesel‹ in dem dazwischen entstandenen Meer die heutige Innere Seychellen-Gruppe bilden.
