Wo finden Sie Die Massage perfekte fur Frauen?

In Hong Kong, one can find a really good deal at the “SpaAsia Crystal Awardee for Best Small Day Spa” found at Central and Discovery Bay. Visit A Sense of Touch to get the most relaxing deep tissue massage in town. Now because I’m easily excitable, a massage that’s too relaxing tends to send my chakra focus from the heart to the base, if you know what I mean. I like keeping my energies purple and pink, not orange and brown. But the sudden take-over, if you will, of a person’s orange chakra facilitates in self-healing. (Oh, Wolverine! Lend me thy adamantium hands!) Unfortunately, the Discovery Bay branch of A Sense of Touch is closer to my place than my other favourite in nearby Citygate Tung Chung.

The Spa MTM was rated Hong Kong’s “Best Spa” from 2005 to 2007. Last year, I was able to get a discount for a 10-visit package which includes the following:

a. one massage of one’s choice: Tui Na and Shiatsu are its best massage types, and all done by women; the Swedish one makes me tense, so I don’t choose it.

b. hydrotherapy - which consists of a (pardon the Nazi reference) half-hour Vichy shower, four different defatiguing shower & stream types, and a hot water foot-bath. A word of caution: the water in the footbath is scalding hot, the way the Japanese like it. The funny thing is that the water is so hot that as soon as you sit still enough, it feels COLD! 

The best spa service I’ve received to date is at the Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu. My husband didn’t quite enjoy the hilot massage there, mainly because it wasn’t relaxing enough–the same reason why I don’t like Swedish massage, in general. But I really enjoyed having the whole place to myself at 10 am to indulge in an “Enchanted Journey” at the CHI Spa.

A miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion, happens during the first trimester of a woman’s pregnancy. Sometimes,  a woman can be so busy or preoccupied with so many things that it would be hard to spot the changes in her body. The way I failed to spot it…

So after one “wild night,” the next day went bloody all over. I was changing pads like an incontinent baby, perhaps, around 16 that day. The blood just kept going from the moment I woke up, having stained my bed linen and dripped all over.

Worst of all, and my own sister would confirm this, is that the pain is the sharpest, most excruciating pain a woman could feel in her abdomen. However, if the woman has a high threshold for pain, the symptom may be presumed dysmenorrhea, or menstrual cramps.

That was what I thought, for I had just stopped going to pilates and yoga classes a week before.

By the time I realised what was happening to me–chills, shivers, sweat and a slight fever included–it was far too late in the night to visit a doctor. Getting the chills and a slight fever is the body’s reaction to any foreign object that may cause an inflammation or infection in the body; the worst kind of infection in the uterus is sepsis. Sepsis occurs when a spontaneous abortion is incomplete; that is, when there are traces of the expended fetus remaining in the uterus.

To ensure that the uterus is free of any sepsis-causing organism, a woman needs to undergo what people call a “D&C,” the acronym of dilation and curettage. The procedure is similar to what women undergo when they have elected to abort a fetus.

It took me a while to realise that the chunk that was expended into the toilet bowl was “it”. It was no bigger than a human fist, just like the heart.

It would have been my second child. Right now, though, I find it hard to talk about it–even with my husband.

Welcome to my water sanctuary. This blog shall feature spas and spa destinations, massage, facial and body treatments, different modes of exercise and other wellness-related practices. Watch out for future posts.

Now it’s time to settle down, close your eyes, relax, breathe. . .sigh.
