Pay R340 for a two hour pampering session, including a hot stone massage, Indian head massage and a Thai foot massage at Jasmine Thai, valued at R680 (save 50%)

Stress can be an overwhelming feeling.  Whether it’s an instance of road rage or getting yelled at by the office ogre, everyone experiences those moments where you feel weighed down by worry.  Rather than feeling like a giant walrus is sitting on your chest, enjoy today’s burden-banishing Groupon: a hot stone massage, Indian head massage and a Thai foot massage for R340 from Jasmine Thai. 

With its enthusiastic and friendly therapists, a trip to Jasmine Thai is like coming home after a long day of work only to be greeted by a group of friends who announce they’re dying to give you a massage.  Because that rarely happens, today’s Groupon is sending you to the Jasmine Thai little haven of harmony for an amazing two-hour massage session where you’ll be pampered till you’re cooing like a peanut-fed pigeon. 

First let the professional therapists tend to those tensed-up tendons with a warm, deep, muscle-melting hot stone massage. For this magical muscle treatment the therapists use heated basalt rocks which they place on specific points on your back.  Using the heat of the stones to quieten your muscular mumblings, the therapists are able to apply a deeper and more precise pressure, increasing the response and healing of the muscles.

The Indian Head massage is based on an ancient healing system which revitalises the upper back, shoulders, scalp and face.  The age-old stress-relieving treatment is said to unblock congested energy flows that can lead to anything from stress and pain to bad circulation and sinus problems.   

Because two’s acceptable, but three’s a party – the third treatment you’ll be receiving is a Thai Foot massage.  The massage involves hands-on stretching and massage to “open”” the energy channels, along with the use of a stick to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond with the internal organs of the body.  The treatment is effective in detoxing, improving circulation, reducing stiffness, stress relief and clarity of mind.  

Banish that beastly stress walrus and experience true relaxation with today’s ‘must-knead’ Groupon. 

Full-body fact: Before massages were considered to the best stress-reliever, a bohemian in Californian used to sell stress-relieving voodoo spells enveloped in candy wrappers under the local boardwalk.
