A masterpiece that honors the traditional Filipino healing system

 

Based on the Philippines traditional healing system known as Hilot, Mandala Spa's Hilot Trilogy has profound and enduring benefits for the mind, body and spirit.  

 

The Hilot Trilogy begins with Hihilaan where coconut oil is applied to strips of banana leaves which are then used to identify areas of imbalance in the physiology.  Bentosa, a traditional technique of vacuum cupping is then applied.  The vacuum cup is gently moved over affected areas to rebalance the body's heat and energy flow.

 

The trilogy journey continues with Hilot, an ancient Filpino therapeutoc form of massage.  Through a combination of long and deep strokes along energy pathways the flow of vital energies is harmonized and equilibrium is established.

 

The Hilot Trilogy finishes with Dagdagay, a therapeutic foot massage using two bamboo sticks to stimulate the soles of the feet to balance and boost the body's immune system.

 

The finest 100% extra virgin coconut oil, renowned for its powerful rejuvenating, anti-aging and cleansing properties, is lavishly applied over the entire body throughout the treatment.

 

Mandala Spa's Hilot Trilogy is a masterpieve that celebrates the Philippines' unique and strong cultural identity and recognizes the indigeneous Filipino healing modalities and tradional rituals known as Hilot.  Combined with Mandala's soulful care and masterful technique, the result is a refined and a new approach to traditional Filinio healing - the Hilot Trilogy.
