1 Hour Relaxation/Therapeutic Massage at Wairakei Terraces, Taupo
Wairakei Terraces is a unique geothermal area just a short drive from Taupo. Maori settled here around 1,000 years ago, drawn by the thermal activity and the abundance of food. They believed that the hot pools contained healing powers and qualities that aided skin ailments & relieved arthritic complaints. The blue healing water contains many minerals and the core one is silica. Modern research has shown that collagen can slow the ageing process & the body needs silica to make collagen. Massage is the oldest and simplest form of natural therapy, being a system of stroking, pressing and kneading to relieve pain, to relax, stimulate or tone, promoting general well being. Massage helps the body’s own natural healing abilities to come to the fore, and taking a holistic approach ensures mind body & soul are in balance and harmony. There is also an extensive range of treatments using indigenous herbal oils and balms to select from.
