Don't care, Self-care

WITH so many things to accomplish from work stuff to life goals, finding the time to take proper care of yourself can be hard. When was the last time you treated yourself to a spa? If it has been months, or worse, ages, then you should take a break from all the hustle and bustle before being battered from exhaustion. Luckily for Cebuanos, Zeuz Spa and Coffee Shop, the first spa with coffee shop that offers ala resort feels with its Zen-inspired interior and incredible services, is just located at the heart of the city in Queensland Manor, Rahmann St., Cebu City.

Here are some of the luxurious pampering services you can enjoy without burning a hole in your pocket.

Ear Candling with Head and Scalp Massage

Also referred as candling, ear coning or thermal-auricular therapy, this is a common non-invasive therapeutic practice that involves the use of a long candle placed in your ears. The side that is out of the ear is lit, and a vacuum is created within the ear canal, coating the whole ear in wax. Excess earwax is drawn out of the ear canal. For 10 to 15 minutes, you will enjoy the pleasant, crackling sound of the burning candle, followed by 30 minutes of head and scalp massage. Ear Candling is linked to ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Native American treatments that claims to reduce sinus pressure and rebalance your mental state and reduce body pain as it helps purify the blood, drawing out the toxins that cause some health and mental problems. The relief of pressure and blockages can also help to boost mental awareness and clarity.

Stone Massage

A hot stone massage helps you relax and ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout your body. During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body such as along your spine, on your stomach, chest, face, palms, and feet and toes. The stones are usually made from basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat.

Body Massage

A full body massage offers multiple benefits, both physically and psychologically. If you like a dry massage that involves a manual pressure applied to specific points on the body to relieve tension and pain, opt for Poseidon’s Shiatsu. Or if you like it better with oil and a technique that emphasizes long strokes, kneading and friction motions for proper circulation then go for Hera’s Swedish Massage or if you want an extended Swedish massage using the five basic strokes: gliding, percussion, friction, kneading, and vibration then choose Zeuz Signature Massage.

Food and Coffee

Any self-care practice won’t be complete without luscious food and a good cup of coffee may it be hot or cold. Pizza, nachos, sandwich, matcha frappe, cafe latte with cutesy latte art, cookies and cream would be nice after that much-needed spa-time.
