Eastern Inspired Spa & Wellness is a head spa in Rotorua, at 1215 Eruera Street, that sells an Eastern-inspired scalp ritual using New Zealand botanicals. The website calls it a private sanctuary, and describes each visit as a bespoke ritual that starts with a personalised scalp consultation. The services listed include traditional comb therapy, scalp analysis, scalp stimulation, a botanical scalp treatment, a jade stone massage ritual, a peacock feather relaxation ritual, an eye mask, special facial care, steam with lavender essential oil, hot stone neck and shoulder massage, and therapeutic scalp massage. The infusions include kawakawa, manuka honey, aloe vera and okra.
Clients are asked to tell the spa at booking about any medical conditions, sensitivities, pregnancy or recent treatments, so the ritual can be adjusted. The website says the treatments are gentle, non-invasive and suitable for most guests, but they include touch, steam, botanical infusions and massage. For someone in Rotorua who wants a relaxing scalp and hair treatment with a focus on New Zealand botanicals, the spa offers a rare combination of Eastern rituals and native plants.
