Goan Signature Treatments by J Wellness Circle at IHCL Goa resorts

Rooted in the timeless traditions of Indian healing wisdom, our therapies and treatments aim to restore balance by aligning with the five elements—Akash (ether), Vayu (air), Agni (fire), Jal (water), and Prithvi (earth). Every aspect of our wellness journey is carefully curated to address these essential elements, creating an environment of deep relaxation and renewal.

Introducing the Vrikshamla Soothing Signature Therapy

Goa is not only known for its sun-kissed beaches but also for its diverse flora, particularly the bounty of the cashew tree, which plays a pivotal role in the local culture. The Vrikshamla therapy incorporates these elements, drawing inspiration from Goa's lush landscapes, where the sun, sea, and rich biodiversity all come together in harmony.

In this therapy, we harness the cooling and soothing properties of locally sourced ingredients such as Kokum and Aloe Vera. Kokum, known as Vrikshamla in Sanskrit, is a fruit widely found in the coastal regions of India, particularly Goa. It has been traditionally used in traditional medicine for its ability to cool the body, reduce inflammation, and restore skin health. Combined with Aloe Vera, a renowned skin healer with hydrating properties, the treatment is ideal for sun-exposed skin, providing a calming and rejuvenating experience.

Cashew Butter – Goa’s Gift to Wellness

The treatment also highlights one of Goa’s most treasured resources—cashew. Beyond being a culinary delight, cashew possesses remarkable benefits for the skin. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it helps nourish, repair, and hydrate the skin, leaving it soft, supple, and radiant. Cashew butter is particularly effective in replenishing moisture and repairing sun-damaged skin, making it an essential component of this unique treatment.

Vrikshamla uses Cashew extract as a key ingredient in its luxurious full-body massage. The rhythmic, flowing strokes of this massage not only relax the muscles but also work to restore the skin’s natural elasticity and youthful glow. As it is absobed into the skin, it replenishes moisture and stimulates cell renewal, promoting a revitalized and rejuvenated appearance.

The Journey of Rejuvenation

Your journey begins with a calming scalp massage, designed to ease tension and quiet the mind. Scalp massages have long been known to promote relaxation and relieve stress, while also improving circulation to the head, which can enhance mental clarity and focus. At J Wellness Circle, we believe in treating the body as a whole, and the scalp massage is an integral part of the experience, setting the tone for deep relaxation.

As the therapy progresses, you’ll be treated to body polish with kokum, knowns for its anti-inflammatory properties, ensuring lightening, brightening, and soothing effects even for the most sensitive skin types. This is followed by a full body massage with a signature blend crafted using botanicals that are reflective of the spirit of Goa, this includes a rich base of Cashew nut oil which contains high vitamin content and essential fatty acids which is excellent for nurturing and repairing the skin. The aromatics of Patchouli and Vetiver, which are potent tools for the skin, anti-inflammatory, cell renewal activity, anti-oxidant activity and great for hormonal balance. Kewda furthers these benefits, making this blend a great skin rejuvenator for the body as well as a tool to support stress, anxiety and deeper relaxation
