Heavenly Herbs

 In search of inspiration for a new treatment for Gaia therapies, I have set out to the pristine Tramuntana coast. My idea was to capture the wholesomeness of Mallorca´s nature into a treatment that would brighten up the dull winter days and bring relief to the muscles stiffened by cold. While strolling from Llucalcari to Deia, I got again reminded what a chest of treasures Mallorca is. http://www.deyamallorca.com/walks.htm

As the day rolled by, I have touched and smelled every single plant to see what exactly is the essence of the island that makes you take a deep breath and feel fabulous....
To banish your winter blues the most fragrant Mallorcan herbs will be carefully hand-picked and processed into a warm healing herbal compress, which will be available with every holistic massage in the month of January at our therapy room in Gaia bathtime.  Apart from the uplifting wild thyme, rosemary and lavander and I will be adding few astringent ingredients such as myrtel that will leave your body wonderfully rested and toned at the same time!
I will write more about the benefits of the herb compress in my next post.
