Stress/the blues
By TOKL Team
Stress/blues 
SPA Everyone from fraught mothers to stressed-out hedge-funders will find their stress entirely relieved when they step into the Mandara Spa at Sunway Resort Hotel and Spa (Persiaran Lagoon, Bandar Sunway, PJ. 03 7495 2080/www.sunwayhotels.com). Go for the Ocean Detox Wrap (RM405 for 110 mins) – this seaweed and clay body therapy stimulates the lymphatic system and expels impurities from the body. Jane Reynaldo, director of the Mandara Spa, says, ‘It starts off with a light body brushing of juniper and lime essential oils to open the pores of the skin. A foil wrap is then applied to eliminate toxins and cleanse the mind.’ If that wasn’t enough to relieve the blues, you’re also given a steam shower and body massage. Get ready for all that tension to melt away.
ALSO TRY Cope with the doom-and-gloom by going for the Stress Relieve Package at Samkkya Healthcare Centre (1, Jalan Abdullah, Bangsar. 03 2287 2111/www.samkkya.com.my) that specialises in Ayurvedic therapies. By approaching the treatment (RM288 for 120 mins) holistically, it incorporates several soothing therapies and breathing techniques to calm the mind and restore the body’s natural rhythm. J. Thevan, director of Samkkya Spa, describes it as ‘a mind relaxation therapy where massage oils (based on your specific body type) are absorbed in order to relax your nervous system. It’s a unique meditative state.’
WEAR Wear bright colours; it’s a sure fire way to brighten up anyone’s mood. Wrap yourself in swathes of bright colours and patterns. You’ll find that it’s a hell of a lot better for your mood than dreary black or dull grey.
