HOLISTIC HEALTH:
Holistic Health is a key component of Chiva-Som’s Health & Wellness concept. Holistic Health maintains a staff of doctors, nurses, naturopaths and therapists as well as specialist consultants, all of whom have a commitment to providing a holistic approach to your health needs. In this sense, Chiva-Som is one of the pioneers of integrative medicine and continues to develop this as a core function.
Your path begins with a Health & Wellness consultation. Here your health status, short term goals and long term needs are addressed, and appropriate activities are recommended. Whether you require advice on known health problems, choose a detoxification program, want to embark on a preventative health kick or even deal with emotional issues, the Health & Wellness consultants will guide you to the appropriate services and therapists.
Chiva-Som does not consider itself a primary care facility and does not promise radical cures, though they have a fair share of success. They offer to take the time to consider your health carefully and give you informed options and recommend treatments based on the best that modern and complementary medicine have to offer.
Education is a primary function of the Holistic Health team dedicated to teaching you about your health, and showing you how using different treatment strategies can enhance the quality of your life.
The team believes in communication between therapists who work together to optimize your progress. The fitness team, physiotherapy team and spa therapists are integral to offering complete care for your mind, body and spirit.
Unique to Chiva-Som is the use of Complementary Diagnostic Techniques. Additional insight is gained into your health through methods such as Iridology, Live Blood Analysis. Issues skipped over by orthodox testing such as toxicity, digestive function, essential fatty acid balances and food intolerances may be identified through these methods.
Finally, they believe in the concept of your health span: your measure of years of good health, vitality and activity. Although its debatable how much they can influence your lifespan, their quest is to assist you in ensuring your health span is as close as possible to your lifespan.
SPA and HOLISTIC HEALTH
The unique blend of traditional and advanced therapies in this tranquil environment is enhanced by the caring nature of the dedicated therapists, who will nurture every guest through the rejuvenating and healing process to reach true balance of the mind, body and spirit.
Integration of mind, body and spirit is a fundamental part of the SPA philosophy and the very foundation of the offered Spa treatments. Members of the Spa team are internationally qualified and have broad experience in traditional and advanced Spa therapies. The team is constantly involved in training programmes to enhance your experience with the therapy, and to help educate you in any aspect of Spa therapies so you can take the knowledge away with you and practice in your everyday life. All Health & Wellness departments work closely together to ensure that your Spa experience will assist in achieving your goals during your stay.
Your journey into Spa begins in the Male or Female Water Therapy Suites. Enjoy cleansing and restorative heat treatments such as sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi or relaxation on one of the heated waterbeds as you sip mineral water or Lemongrass tea. The Spa attendants will guide you through the facilities of the Water Therapy Suites and assist you in every possible way.
Using these facilities promotes wellness and prepares the body for the treatments ahead, whether a relaxing massage or an invigorating Hydrotherapy treatment.

Chiva-Som Singnature Treatments:
The philosophy of Chiva-Som, Haven of life, has always been one of health and wellness. At Chiva-Som, the guest will often experience personal transformation, through services tailored for the development for mind-body-spirit. With this in mind we are very happy to announce the launch of the Chiva-Som Signature Range of both products and spa treatment.
Utilising the natural resources found in the Kingdom of Thailand and embracing this culture, Chiva-Som is able to offer wonderful holistic face and body services with the opportunity for every guest to take that experience home with them in our exclusive range of Signature products.
The marriage of nurture and nature is applied through indigenous ingredients such as lemongrass, lime, jasmine rice, aloe, turmeric, sesame, organic honey from the rainforest and hibiscus flowers to name but a few. Combining ancient wisdom and ritual with modern principles the journey of Chiva-Som Signature Treatments may encompass energy clearing with native flower essences, the balancing tones of a tample singing bowl of the natural envelopment of one of our Chiva-Som Spa Haven Body-Cocoons.
Chiva-Som Signature Deep Hand Massage
Our hands are used a lot in the modern world. With clicking, driving, messaging, and writing, our hands are used and often over-used on a daily basis. Our hands connect us to our head; reaching for this or that to get the job done. This deep hand massage is designed to thoroughly release tension that accumulates in the hands and arms from the daily tasks we use them for. Working the major channels/meridians of the arms first, reflex points in the hands are then worked to release deep tension. This treatment is both a medical and a pampering treatment.
Chiva-Som Signature Massage
This classic massage promotes a sense of well-being by increasing blood circulation and lymphatic flow and by improving muscle tone, skin texture and total relaxation. Your massage will be tailored to the way you like it; be sure to let us know the level of pressure you prefer. Choose your oil from our five fine quality blends designed to suit every need of the mind or body.
Chiva-Som Skin Haven Facial
This facial is not only restful and balancing, it combines wonderful Thai herbs and floral essences together to create a very refreshing, cleansing, healing, and hydrating treatment. Protecting and strengthening the skin with anti-oxidants and extracts such as gotu-kola for deeply penetrating hydration; your natural defence against damaging free-radicals. You will feel relaxed and renewed.
Chiva-Som Spa Haven Body Cleansing Cocoon
The Spiced Coffee Body Glow will entice any gourmand or coffee lover as it exfoliates and stimulates circulation. A choice of detoxifying or stimulating oil for the massage will hasten the removal of toxins and boost the lymphatic system. A detoxifying body gel will be used during the cocoon process to firm and tone. This stimulating and detoxifying treatment is for those particularly concerned with cellulite and fluid retention and is great for relieving heavy legs or sluggishness post-flight. It is also a wonderful accelerator for anyone on Chiva-Som’s cleansing diet.
