Throughout history the amethyst has been used to guard against drunkenness and is thought to be helpful in overcoming addiction. It has been used for hearing disorders, insomnia, headaches and other pain. Some sources suggest it is used to stabilize mental disorders. Worn to make the wearer gentle and amiable, the stone is thought to affect healing, peace, love spiritual centering, courage, protection against thieves and happiness. The amethyst can be seen in a range of shades from deep purple. Light lilac, lavender and mauve. This was a stone associated with royalty nearly from the beginning of time. The Western and Eastern inspired luxury treatments here provide the finest in skin and body treatments. The aromatherapy crystal steam room is exquisite and a divine place to hide-out and get distressed. If you follow this with a visit to the ice fountain and 'experience shower' you will just want to stay all day in the Tranquility Lounge. This room lives up to its name, and features warm colored fabrics, rich woods, and guests are invited to enjoy herbal tea, juice, fresh fruit and nuts while they settle in to enjoy the sweet silence. The Balinese massage, a deep and soothing treatment is designed to relieve tension in the body and it gets my highest recommendation. All treatments are preceded by a lovely foot wash and massage, during which time the therapist discusses any special needs the client may have. Clients receive all their treatments in the same private salon, eliminating the need to move from room to room during their visit. Treatments include skin and massage varieties, as well as reflexology and scalp specialties to relieve tension. The dressing room area is done in beautiful blue, gold and green tones and every possible amenity is on hand to enhance after treatment grooming.
