Enjoy the spa experience of “Taking the Kur”.

It is said that “the Kur” will help the body to restore its balance of minerals and nutrients. Your skin will be completely refreshed and your mind will be relaxed and alert. Our Willow Stream guests always rave about this treatment, and so we’ve decided to describe it here step-by-step.

These words won’t really help you understand the amazing feeling you’ll have as you step out of the spa. But, you might want to know exactly what happens, so here is the order of the treatment (we call them protocols):

• • As you relax on the spa treatment table, your therapist applies a Spirulina Body Masque, leaving your face untouched. You will then be wrapped comfortably in a thermoplastic blanket covered with hot towels for 20 minutes while your body absorbs the protein, vitamins and minerals of the spirulina …
• … and enjoying a delicate facial treatment. A moist masque brush applies a cool Thalassotherapy Spirulina Face Masque. (For very sensitive skin, this facial includes Thermal Mineral Remineralizing Face Crème.) Two Swiss beauty pads spritzed with Aromatherapy Neroli Water are placed over your eyes and your face is covered with a warming steamed towel. Neroli water, by the way, is an all natural floral water from the bitter orange blossom.
• This stage of your experience winds up with a soft face massage, 16-point acupressure exercise and a light scalp massage. Then your shower.
• To this point, everything has prepared your body for the Thalasso effect, the rejuvenating effects of the sea.
• You step into a warm bath of Oligo Seawater, a concentrate that helps to remineralize and nourish the body, and Fucas Algae, which stimulates the circulation and nourishes the skin. You just close your eyes and they are covered with cool sliced cucumbers and you feel the toxins ( and stress) float away.
• Fifteen minutes later, you are back on the spa treatment table, relaxing for a 20-minute massage with warmed Marine Firming Body Crème and Lavender Oil.

And, in 90-minutes, your energy is back.

You feel the maximum benefits of Kur Thalasso when treatments are repeated in a series for several days. This is one treatment you will want to take home with you so that you can get ever more benefits. All the products mentioned above are supplied to Willow Stream by Kirsten Florian, International (KFI) and are available in boutiques at Willow Stream spas.
