Chocolates, Anyone?Maya Spa, EcoTulum's holistic healing center, has brought a zero calorie way to indulge in the sinful seduction of chocolate with new therapies featuring the cacao bean.
Maya Spa's cacao bean exfoliation and cacao butter massage bring new meaning to the term ‘chocolate therapy’ by tapping into the natural relaxing, hydrating, anti-stress and antioxidant powers of cacao, beans from the Theobroma tree which grow in the southern jungles of Chiapas, Mexico. Cacao beans contain phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, calcium and vitamins, which trigger the production of mood enhancing endorphins - which in turn stimulate the production of serotonin, the neurotransmitter associated with happiness and feelings of positive well-being.
Treatments unique to Maya Spa include Mayan clay massages, healing massages, energy cleansings, crystal therapy, floatation chamber, and the ancient temezcal sweat lodge purification rite. Other new therapies to debut at Maya Spa's sandy holistic escape include: medicinal clay massage which utilizes a full-body collage of several colorful regional clays from various parts of Mexico that have distinct healing and curative properties; and henna hair treatment which restores life and luster to damaged hair, as well as improving circulation, dandruff, growth and hair roots by way of natural plant extracts used in many ancient cultures.

Chocolate's aphrodisiac properties have given it a sexy
reputation but the cacao bean has been used for centuries by ancient cultures
for its healing properties. Now the Maya Spa is able to include this therapy in
their other traditional Mayan treatments -- with some truly decadent options to
lift the spirits and gives people a feeling of total indulgence without the
guilt.
Maya Spa is already known for its extensive holistic spa
menu, featuring innovative therapies that address total body, mind and spirit
wellness, and mesh traditional Mayan healing methods with modern Western spa
services. Several screened-in therapy rooms in the jungle, along with beachside
tented spa spaces as well as private in-room service provide the ideal backdrop
for Maya Spa to tap into the authentic sacred Mayan spirit which defines Tulum,
located just one hour south of resort playground Cancun.
