The chilly winter is already here and it is the time for pulled muscles, achy joints and dry skin along with it’s share of cough and cold. Winters, especially the chilly dry ones of North India tend to get your muscles and tendons into knots that do not relieve easily along with the dry weather wrecking havoc on your skin with. So what do you do to counter these problems?

As we covered earlier in our blog, Four Fountains De Stress Spa has been giving you scientific basis of therapy at affordable prices. Here, you don’t chose the therapy, the therapy chooses you.

The Spa boasts of six therapy rooms, two couple rooms and four single rooms. It is the time for the warm Red Thyme oil massage (INR 2699) to take hold of me. My therapist Levinshaw guides me to Energy, my therapy room. The room is pretty spartan with a bed, a shower and a bank of lockers. The Spa focuses more on its therapy rather than the amenities to rifle to the top. The Red Thyme oil also incorporates Clove and Clary Sage oils which are kept on a low heat in a special crucible throughout the massage. The natural warming effect of red thyme fights infections and increases immunity whereas the Clary sage and clove reduce muscle aches and skin dryness.
My massage starts off face down on the table with bold strokes being worked with high pressure to work over the knots. There is special attention put on the insertion and the origin of the muscles to loosen them up completely. This is followed by some long strokes to infuse heat into the skin along with moisturising it. The massage ends with a softer dabbing to ease off the pressure off the muscles. He works around the arms and legs with special focus on the knees, ankles, wrists and shoulder blades to eke out the tendons. The massage leaves you with relaxed muscles and a warm moisturised skin.
So this winter, head over to Four Fountains De-Stress Spa for a rejuvenating massage to free yourself from the niggles and cold. You can book your appointment here. The Warm Red Thyme oil massage will be available till 20th of January 2016.
