Located
beachside in Hua Hin, Thailand,
on the country's western coast, Chiva-Som International
Health Resort is a holistic sanctuary with an emphasis
on integrative medicine. In addition to the resort's
usual range of spa treatments, physiotherapy for injury
rehabilitation is offered. Unique to Chiva-Som is the
use of diagnostic techniques such as iridology, live
blood analysis, bio-terrain testing and electro-dermal
screening — tools that can often identify issues
orthodox medicine may have missed. At the retreat's
Niranlada Medi-Spa, you'll also find a staff of
qualified U.S. doctors, nurses, naturopaths, therapists
and specialist consultants — meaning you can get
your botox injections, thermage treatments and facial
resurfacing, no problem.
