Heavenly Hands!

Royal Rituals

Graceful, delicate hands have long held a fascination and been considered an essential part of Royalty in Asian cultures.  During the Moghul era, the ideal hand was considered to be smooth, un-tanned, with long, graceful fingers.  Indian royals were very proud of their slender fingers, with art from the era prominently displaying long slender hands of the empresses and princesses holding various regal objects.

Ancient Manicures

Manicuring and coloring the nails are nothing new. Myrrh has been used by African Royals to strengthen their nails for thousands of years, while Egyptian Royals decorated their nails by dipping them in orange henna. Elsewhere, long nails were symbols of power; members of the Chinese nobility grew their fingernails to absurd lengths, decorating them with jewel-encrusted nail guards. Even in ancient Ceylon, ladies of the royal court are said to have been influenced by Ayurveda practices and indulged in exotic natural hand care rituals – using the island’s abundant spice oils and nutrient coconut oil.

Caring Rituals for Hands

The hands are sites of powerful pressure points connecting every part of your body via meridians or energy channels, so stimulating these vital points with a weekly hand massage gives you a total workout. Manicures and hand massages release overall tension, allowing you to stand tall, improving posture and restoring the free flow of energy through your entire system.

Spa Ceylon Hand Care

Inspired by ancient Ceylonese Royal well-being rituals, Spa Ceylon’s Ayurveda hand care formulae treat, soften and protect your hands, cuticles and nails. Power packed with herbs and traditionally aromatic spice oils known for their powerfully antiseptic and antifungal properties, they help stimulate blood flow to the extremities while helping to sooth and calm your senses too.

Cardamom Rose Hand Cream

This natural revitalizing treatment moisturizes, nourishes, treats and repairs dry and rough skin. For ultra supple hands, apply at night before slipping on a pair of cotton gloves. Wearing them as you sleep intensifies the penetrating powers of the herbs and by morning your hands will feel luxuriously soft and smooth.  Complement this ritual by using our Cardamom Rose natural hand wash.
