Holistic “ritual” for protection against infections, detoxification, relaxation, anti-aging, longevity, shine and beauty.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Travel through time and feel the unique experiential experience of bath therapy, that was worshipped in Ancient Greece, using unique miracle materials and raw ingredients once used by them.<\/p>\n

HISTORY:<\/u><\/strong> The goddess Athena gave youth to King Laertes, Odysseus\u2019 aged father, through a bath, so he could fight alongside his son against Penelope\u2019s challengers. Homer praised bath therapy in the *Odyssey*, attributing to it great healing powers. The Ancient Greeks of the 5th century BC, following the principles of Hippocrates and Asclepius, adopted bathing rituals with oils and herbs as a holistic method for healing physical and mental ailments.<\/p>\n

SERVICE DESCRIPTION:<\/u><\/strong> Sweat bath. Combination masks applied to body, face, and hair, made from natural mineral clay containing over 70 trace elements. This \u201cmagic\u201d substance removes toxins, impurities, and heavy metals.<\/p>\n

Following a centuries-old recipe, volcanic clay is combined with beneficial oils to nourish and regenerate the skin of the face and scalp. This precious mask removes toxins and dead cells, delivering vitality, beauty, and health.<\/p>\n

For the body, we continue with a blend used by Alexander the Great \u2014 a unique cocktail of aromatic and therapeutic oils that relax the muscles, calm the nervous system, prevent rheumatism, ease musculoskeletal pain, heal skin infections, and support the respiratory system. This blend offered complete wellness to his warriors and is rich in antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.<\/p>\n

Exfoliation of face and body using the Hippocratic technique leaves the skin healthy, smooth, thoroughly clean, and youthful.<\/p>\n

Body creams and oils infused with Greek herbs, inspired by the goddess Hera, offer anti-aging, hydration, firming, and revitalization benefits.<\/p>\n

A final massage using the Hippocratic technique ensures complete relaxation.<\/p>\n

The ritual concludes with a traditional Greek herbal drink and a small treat inspired by ancient customs promoting strength and longevity.\n<\/div>\n\n
