Nepal Spa & Wellness Sustainable Tourism Seminar

Radisson Hotel, Lazimpat | May 7, 2009 |2.00 pm to 6.30 pm

The Spa & Wellness industry has enjoyed an unprecedented growth over the past 10 years and developing countries in the region are capitalizing on this phenomenal trend in promoting spa & wellness tourism, as evident in the exponential growth in India, Thailand & Bali.

SRI Research, at Global Summit 2008, reported for the year 2007, $255 billion industry worth with $64.8 billion in spa revenue. Asia Pacific takes up $11.4 billion with 21,566 spas employing some 363,648 direct employees. Nepal is sitting on a gold mine of indigenous healing knowledge. The Himalayas have been known as herbal medicinal treasure chest, mythologized as a place yogis retreat to for spiritual rejuvenation where the arts of longevity are not forgotten.

Nepal – Naturally yours! is abundant in natural resources – flora and fauna but what has often missed the eye and the heart of Nepali Tourism is the riches it has in terms of natural therapy based treatments practiced through ages. Therefore, there is no better way to attract tourists with images of natural healing, relaxation, rejuvenation and inner well being brought by the timeless Himalayas which gave birth to Ayurveda.

Spa & Wellness Association of Nepal (SWAN) joint hands with the Hotel Association of Nepal (HAN), is pioneering a new Tourism Product offering a new dimension in spa & wellness tourism to Nepal. Sponsored by Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) and supported by Asia Pacific Spa & Wellness Coalition & Nepal Airlines Corporation, a series of events is in the pipeline, amongst which is the forthcoming Nepal Spa & Wellness Sustainable Tourism Seminar that will take place come 7^th May, 2009 here in Kathmandu.

Open to all enthusiasts including Hoteliers, Stakeholders, Travel Trade, Service Providers, Legislators, Financial Institutions, Spa Managers, and wellness professionals, this informative Seminar, with foreign movers and shakers of the industry promises to educate and illuminate the spectrum of issues concerning the sap industry.

Bring Benefits of Turmeric to Your Beauty Regimen

2009-04-11T23:05:00.001-07:00

Bring Benefits of Turmeric to Your Beauty Regimen
BODY BISTRO Ayurvedic Apothecary
There is one herb with health and beauty benefits that is as close to you as your pantry: Turmeric. Derived by grinding the yellow, ginger-like roots from a small plant, native to India, into a powder or paste, Turmeric has a history of healing that dates back 5,000 – 7,000 years ago to the Vedic Texts that outline the practice of Ayurveda (the science of longevity). Here is a quick lesson on the healing, balancing and beautifying properties of this time-honored spice.
Sacred Turmeric and the Asian Culture
The Turmeric plant is sacred to the Himalayan Monks and plays an important role in their herbal rituals. In many Asian cultures, brides and grooms are anointed with Turmeric on their wedding day in order to balance their mind, body and spirit and prepare them for their new roles as husband and wife. In addition, mixing Turmeric with lime creates the distinctive red forehead mark of spiritual followers – the Kumkuma. Turmeric is also added to the water used daily in the ritual ablution of the Deities and mixed with unpolished rice as an important offering during puma (prayer).
Turmeric and the Fight against Cancer and Other Diseases
Ayurvedic doctors have long used Turmeric as a medicine for treating diabetes, wounds/bruises, skin rashes, arthritis, bronchitis and liver problems. Today, Western medicine is discovering that this powerful spice also can help the body battle cancer. Recently, researchers at Detroit's Henry Ford Health System found that the active ingredient in Turmeric, Curcumin, can boost the cancer-fighting power of treatment with a naturally occurring molecule called TRAIL, which helps combat cancer cells. Other studies have found Turmeric to be as effective as hydrocortisone in treating cases of arthritis and acute inflammation – without side effects. Turmeric also has important antibacterial properties and is effective in killing Salmonella and E. Coli bacteria.

Turmeric and Beauty
Asian women rely on Turmeric to help them achieve younger-looking, smoother, brighter and radiant skin. This ancient "beauty secret" is often applied to the body in paste form before a bath to cleanse and revitalize the skin, achieving tighter pores and refined skin texture. Turmeric also is widely recognized to have antioxidant qualities, which fight free radicals and thereby help slow the aging process. For such skin problems as rashes or acne, sandalwood extract is often added to the formula to enhance its antibacterial action.
Ayurveda may be a new approach to skin care, but it is a time-honored philosophy of wellness, according to Carina Chatlani, who studied in the Himalayas. Working alongside Tibetan and Indian sages, she grew herbs, extracted essences and created plant oils according to 5,000-7,000 year old practices. Determined to bring the healing benefits of Ayurveda to the Western community, Chatlani earned her degree in Biological Sciences and Plant Morphology, and then embarked on the long and arduous process of developing, testing and refining formulas.

What is Equitable Wellness?

2007-10-22T17:19:00.000-07:00

Equitable Wellness, a term coined by Carina Chatlani, to indicate the state of being mindful that we are connected to and are part of a whole. It is a direct and fair exchange of two concepts: the right to intend on complete wellness and the right to receive wellness. Characterized by fairness, it's one's intention (sadhana) in the right action of a proper and just exchange of another intention to be open to receive correct (right) wellness.

The Spa & Hospitality Management should be keenly aware, particularly in cultures where selling is frowned on, of equitable wellness to further encourage the exponential growth of the return on investment.

What is Biomimicry & How does Body Bistro benefit it's customers?

2007-08-05T00:35:00.000-07:00

"Biomimicry, (is) a science that studies nature's models and then imitates or takes inspiration from these designs and processes to solve human problems, is quickly setting the standard for many of tomorrow's technological breakthroughs. " explains Jeff Siegel, editor of Green Chip Stocks.

Imagine innovation inspired by nature by way of creating paint, "The transfer of technology between lifeforms and synthetic constructs is desirable because evolutionary pressure typically forces natural systems to become highly optimized and efficient. A classical example is the development of dirt- and water-repellent paint (coating) from the observation that the surface of the lotus flower plant is practically unsticky for anything (the lotus effect)." as written on http://my.vipublog.com/blog/2007/08/24/biomimicry-nature-model-measure/

Traditional Indian Medicine (TIM) is compared to Tibetan Medicine

Indian Medicine, most commonly referred to as Ayurveda, or the 'science of life' is loosely based on the five elements Earth (Prithvi), Water (Apa), Fire (Tejas), Air (Vayu) and Space (Akasha).

"It [Tibetan Medicine] is based on the theory of five elements Sa (Earth), Chu (Water), Me (Fire), Rlung (Wind) and Nam-mkha (Space) and is very much connected and dependant on nature." (source: Dr. Chauhan, Dharamsala)

Get Passionate about Summer Time with the Newest Addition To the Culinary Series Spa Collection from Asana Spa by BODY BISTRO

The Summer Fresh Passion Fruit + Poppy Seed Facial Tantalizes Spa Goers during the Hot and Sticky Summer Months

Jul. 23, 06, Beverly Hills, CA. -- Spa goers discover a new passion for beauty with the mouth-watering aroma and savory texture of BODY BISTRO’s newest culinary delight—the Summer Fresh Passion Fruit + Poppy Seed Facial. Fifty heavenly minutes, this 12-step 100% vegan facial treatment is a delightful summer fruit salad for the skin—a delicious concoction of ripe fruits and rich creams to nourish and hydrate.

As with all of BODY BISTRO’s popular culinary series treatments, each ingredient of the Summer Fresh facial was carefully selected to bring the most benefit to thirsty skin. An unlikely secret to beauty, the magical seeds and greenish flesh of the passion fruit deliver ultimate hydration and refinement with vitamins A and C. Accompanying this skin-saving pulp, Opium Poppy seeds from Asia gently exfoliate and polish for a luminous glow. These two elements are blended with Mascarpone Crème mélange and three secret kitchen formulas created exclusively for this facial by BODY BISTRO’s Asana Spa professionals. To guarantee the freshest ingredients, spas can mix the Summer Fresh facial onsite, with fresh raw materials, the coveted recipe and mixing techniques sent directly to them. The mixture may also be hand-made in the BODY BISTRO kitchen and then shipped overnight to the spa.
… More …

With harmful rays, moisture-depleting air conditioning and heavy air taking their toll, the Summer Fresh Passion Fruit and Poppy Seed Facial promises to help combat the damage done to skin—even after the summer sun has set.

“Although this facial was created for the summer months, we’ve found that it’s so successful beyond the season that spas might prefer to keep it on a bit longer into the fall,” says Carina Chatlani, Chief Executive Officer and founder of BODY BISTRO and Asana Spa.

During my last visit to Dharamsala (October 2004), I was walking the streets of the local bazaar and by happenstance, stumbled across a man slouching over a mound of Indian Gooseberry, an enlarged, green grape-looking fruit. I posted a picture on the website http://www.radianceremedy.com/.
