Why you should visit Samsara Wellness

In the past few decades, our lives have been completely transformed into a highly demanding routine that keeps our minds and bodies occupied and on edge all the time. From the time we wake up, we start checking our emails and calendars till we finally enter our beds after a long hard day outside and enter the blissful world of sleep. This type of routine takes its toll on mental and physical well-being.

  One of the best ways to beat the stress blues is by transforming your lifestyle and incorporating wellness techniques. A wide variety of wellness methods are in practice; such as special diets, meditation, and exercises that help relieve stress and take off some of the load from your mind and body. Among wellness practices, massage has been a popular practice since prehistoric times. In addition to relaxing your body’s muscles and joints, massage also helps stimulate your nervous system and leaves you feeling refreshed. It also promotes healthy circulation to various parts of your body and generally drains away the feelings of tiredness.

 About Samsara Wellness: Located in the heart of Peranakan Joo Chiat area in Singapore, Samsara Wellness combines many traditional elements and wellness practices to provide a wholesome, relaxing experience for clients. Hidden in this Peranakan tourism spot lies a gem of a foot massage place known as Samsara Wellness. If you are looking to take a break from the daily grind of city life, Samsara Wellness is the perfect destination!

Samsara Wellness stands out among the crowd of competitors for its wide variety of therapies and wellness treatments on offer. At Samsara, you get to enjoy reflexology, which is a form of massage cum physical therapy designed to apply pressure to specific zones around the ears and under the feet to relax various parts of your body. The therapists over at Samsara Wellness use Malaysian style reflexology which is more focused and intense on point.

Me, Irene, Yunzi, Isabelle, and Shub decided to visit Samsara Wellness one fine afternoon to try out their wellness services. The first thing that struck all of us was the interior and ambience: even though you are on a crowded street full of visitors, there is a certain calm and serenity in Samsara Wellness which instantly lifts a load off your shoulders.

We were led to our individual massage chairs, which were pleasantly full sized and comfortable enough to fit an adult with room to spare. The first thing that came out was a heated neck pack pillow to increase blood circulation to the central nervous system and brain.

There were two compresses available; sea salt or Ai Cao, and I went with the latter which elders say prevents rheumatism and is generally healthier.

Following this, the staff helped soak our feet in warm water before the massage began.

Actually, these are not my feet...I was feeling so relaxed that I forgot to take photos. =P Feet credits: Isabelle

Samsara Wellness offers several types of oils according to your taste: olive oil (which is good for dry skin), rose (which carries an excellent fragrance), lavender (for a calming and soothing after effect) and ginger (to increase blood circulation).

Can you guess which one I choose? Ginger, of course! It helps relieve wind, especially for women during their periods.

After the foot massage, I also tried the body massage.

This is the best you get. Images of body massage censored. =P

Truth is....I forgot to take the pictures....

So what's so special about Samsara Wellness? Well...these are the things that really stand out for me:

- The oils they use for the massage are high quality extracts which are absorbed into your skin and don’t leave a sticky residue after the massage

- They offer complimentary fruits, warm towels, and bowls of flavored tea

- The tea selection includes Rose, Jasmine, Osmanthus, Barley (Da Mai), and Wolfberries (which incidentally, are good for your eyes). On our visit, we were offered Rose flavored tea mixed with wolfberries which was delectable and soothed the insides, providing a completely relaxed feeling.
