A little history behind the treatment!
Indonesian Massage, or Mande Lular Massage, borrows heavily from Indian traditions and customs. Fusing the cultural heritage of Central Java, the spice island of Indonesia, and the ancient precepts of Indian massage, charkas and marma points, Mande Lular Massage, as it is known today, comprises a deep, relaxing massage using products to exfoliate, soften and nourish the skin.
Traditionally reserved for prospective brides, this luxurious treatment is considered to be a form of spiritual and physical purification and, consequently, an excellent preparation for marriage and child-birth. In Indonesia, the Mande Lular treatment is an essential element of a preparatory ritual which can last forty days, this pre-marital custom is honoured as a time for the women of the family to commune and give advice to the bride-to-be.
The benefits and cleansing properties of the Mande Lular Massage are directly related to the treatment of the charkas, meridian lines and marma points of the body, which incorporated with the massage produces holistic healing experience for the whole body.
The benefits:
- Stimulates blood flow and circulation in the body
- Improves texture of the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines
- Improves lymphatic drainage which combats the signs of ageing and boosts the immune system
- Tension headaches/Migraine
