HEALING CLAY

 200 million years in the making clay comes in a number of colours, which vary according to its mineral content. Bentonite, also known as montmorillonite of the smectite class of clays. It is derived from deposits of weathered volcanic ash. A good quality Bentonite is grey green in colour, it has a very fine, velveteen feel and is odourless and non-staining. It often contains substantial amounts of magnesium and a wide variety of trace minerals. It is one of the most effective natural cleansing and purifying agents available.
With the application of color clay products one can achieve an increase in the supply of oxygen, the skin tissues function better and the skin regenerates, is cleaner, firmer and revitalised.

The result is a younger and healthier look and an increase in the effectiveness of later cosmetic treatments.
Color clay contains the necessary minerals to activate the functions of the skin by stimulating its cellular metabolism.

The minerals and trace elements of color clay are natural. The skin needs them and assimilates them easily. The human body is made up of 4% minerals that are essential for its functioning and maintenance.

If skin cells are tired or aged they become incapable of absorbing the active substances in cosmetic treatments like moisturisers, anti-wrinkles and anti-ageing.

Ambrosia

In ancient mythology, Ambrosia (Greek αμβροσία, Αμβροσία ) is sometimes the food, sometimes the drink, of the gods. The word has generally been derived from Greek a- ("not") and mbrotos ("mortal"); hence the food or drink of the immortals. The classical scholar Arthur Woollgar Verrall, however, denied that there is any clear example in which the word ambrosios necessarily means immortal, and preferred to explain it as "fragrant," a sense which is always suitable. If so, the word may be derived from the Semitic MBR ("amber", compare "ambergris") to which Eastern nations attribute miraculous properties. In Europe, honey-colored amber, sometimes far from its source, was already a grave gift in Neolithic times and was still worn in the 7th century AD as a talisman by druidic Frisians, though St Eligius warned "No woman should presume to hang amber from her neck." W. H. Roscher thinks that both nectar and ambrosia were kinds of honey, in which case their power of conferring immortality would be due to the supposed healing and cleansing power of honey, and because fermented honey (mead) preceded wine as an entheogen in the Aegean world: the Great Goddess of Crete on some Minoan seals had a bee face: compare Merope and Melissa.

Kaua’i, The Island Of Wellness And Rejuvenation

On Kaua‘i, the oldest major island of Hawai‘i, the mana is inescapable. Meaning spiritual power in Hawaiian, mana is a quality felt and sometimes seen on Kaua‘i, palpable in the visual beauty of the landscape, the quality of air and ocean, and the interplay of natural elements that invigorate, relax, and rejuvenate.

In a recent study, 97 percent of visitors surveyed said their time on Kaua‘i provided rejuvenation and relaxation. No doubt this is due to the combination of environment, spa professionals, and traditions found throughout the island.


Consider the environment: There is no building higher than a coconut tree. Streams and rivers, including the only navigable rivers in Hawai‘i, contribute endless opportunities for recreation and the enjoyment of beauty. Fifty miles of white-sand shoreline offer more beaches per mile than any other major Hawaiian island. Glorious upland parks and canyons feed the body, mind, and soul. Garden, mountain, and oceanside settings create ideal conditions for nurturance at all levels.


Into this environment come luxurious resort spas and day spas offering Asian, American, European, and Polynesian treatments. And centers and facilities with well-trained professionals in everything from
