KUMARAKOM

LAKE RESORT

As if lounging by the lush backwaters

of Kumarakom is not detoxifying

enough, this resort takes it up a notch

with specialised Ayurvedic treatments.

‘Ksheeradhara’ is one such treatment;

it starts with the application of oil on

the body for 15 minutes, followed by

the pouring of lukewarm medicated

milk on the forehead for 45 minutes.

The treatment is believed to be effective

in relieving stress and reducing body

heat, enabling you to sleep better. The

60-minute treatment can be repeated for

three to seven days for best possible results.

Amrtam Spa here offers a signature detox treatment

that uses a unique clay bar concept. Naturally-

occuring clay is rich in minerals and nutrients and

has detoxifying properties; besides, the clay generates

warmth that improves circulation and relieves joint

pains. The therapy here starts with an exfoliating body

scrub, and a detox massage with a clay body wrap.

Packed with aromatic ingredients such as mint, lemon,

orange, jasmine and green tea and combined with a

blend of essential oils including rosemary and sage, the

therapy purifies your skin. http://www.intercontinental.com
