Sukko Therapies
According to Traditional Thai medical theory, the 1000-years ancient wit, our own body which composed of four elements: earth, water, wind and fire is the best healer with the sole purpose to keep us healthy. To strengthen the ability to repair itself and to achieve the optimal good health, the four elements of the body must be in perfect harmony and balance. Healing sessions therefore seek to correct the balance within your body as well as with nature.
The elemental balance may be lost due to diet, lifestyle as well as the state of mind. External factors-the changes in the weather and seasons, pollution, the living and working environments will also affect this balance. Removing or alleviating these factors will provide the body and spirit a chance to regain its strength so that healing takes place naturally and effectively
At Sukko Spa, the guest will undergo Sukko treatments, ancient traditions of herbal medicine blended between the art of massages, heat and the healing essences from indigenous herbs to balance each body element. All these will help to get rid of poisonous substances and wastes, increase immunity, bring your physical conditions and spirit back to a state of well-being and enhance longevity.
Traditionally Natural Products
Products used must meet the stringent standards and code of ethics passed down through generations of traditional Thai herbalists. Raw materials are derived from herbs grown, harvested and preserved in the prescribed manner. And the compounding of medicine is strictly controlled by certified traditional Thai herbalists, complement the spa’s concept and suit individual needs and preferences. No petrochemicals, synthetic perfumes or colours are allowed.
Culturally Trained Staff
All Sukko staff is trained at Sukko Spa Academy, Certified by the Ministry of Education. Each receives a basic education in Thai herbal medicine and rational massage . The training consists of both theoretical and practical skills. Trainees must first successfully complete the mandatory 800-hour course before being chosen to be on Sukko’s team of therapists.
