At Shikari Well-being Spa we offer a wide range of treatments, and the one we would like to highlight here is a steam sauna that incorporates hemp into the robe and herb blend that are used.
When you think of hemp, the images that come to mind might be old rags, a funny smell, or scratchy material. However, hemp is actually a gentle material full of spirit and wisdom.
Hemp has been said to be a divine plant since ancient times. It is a sacred plant that is used
for shimenawa (sacred ropes) at shrines, tatami mats in temples, and baby clothes. It is also said to ward off impurities. Not only this, but hemp has a high vibrational energy that purifies the Earth just from it sprouting and living out its natural state! So, not only is hemp good for your skin and body, but the act of growing hemp is also good for the Earth.
During the hemp steam sauna, hemp comes into play in two different areas: the robe and the herb blend.
When you wear the hemp robe during the steam sauna, every cell in your body breathes. Because of this, you are able to relax without overheating. Because the rope touches your bare skin, it is ensured that the rope is gentle enough not to irritate your body.
Not only is hemp what the robe is made out of, but living hemp is also included in the herb blend! Hemp is inherently detoxifying and nourishing. When the hemp is heated during the sauna, it activates and comes alive, releasing iron and microorganisms that nourish the body. When hemp infused steam travels to and through your body, toxins can be released, giving the chance for your female organs to return to a healthy, pure, and balanced state.
All of the hemp used is grown without pesticides, and has been produced by a traditional herbal medicine company. Moreover, a radioactive nuclide analysis and 96 types of pesticide residue tests have been completed to ensure that your body is touching the most pure form of hemp.
