THE NATIVE METHOD The spa follows the ancient ideology of “Kappo” an old martial arts technique to improve the circulation of the body, which was used in the battlefields of Sengoku period to heal the wounds immediately. This Kappo was conceived as a means to build a ‘body that can move’ and has become the basis for chiropractic and muscular studies of today.
ラピデム東京は戦国時代にさかのぼる武術の「活法」に基づいた施術を取り入れています。戦場では、負った傷をその場で癒す必要があったため、「動ける身体」をつくるために考案されたのが今や整体や筋肉学のベースにもなっている「活法」でした。
Based on the philosophy of Ying and Yang, Lapidem Tokyo also adapts a holistic approach, all in the name of optimum health in balance and harmony. Original skin care products are used for all treatments - that have been enriched with the interaction of the five elements - metal, wood, water, fire, and earth to uplift and maintain the balance of heart, body and mind.

Upon arrival in the Luxurious Moroccan reception area, I was swiftly escorted to my treatment room. The treatment I was to receive was the Holistic Body Treatment, which is a treatment that is said to heal abnormalities of unknown cause such as stiffness of neck and shoulders using blended aroma oils and to synchronize the body with breathing of the Earth.
リュクスな雰囲気を漂わせるモロッカンスタイルのレセプションエリアを少し進むと、落ち着きのあるトリートメントルームが姿を現します。 今回体験をしたホリスティック プログラムは、「活法」を取り入れ、ファイブエレメントの特性を生かしたアプローチで、身体を大地の呼吸とシンクロさせていくトリートメントでした。体質別のアロマブレンドオイルで身体のコリや原因不明な不調を正常な状態へと導いてくれる最高にリラクシングなアロマトリートメントでもあります。
It started by undertaking a constitutional diagnosis based on the five-row therapy - into my daily routine and body condition to check the current state of the body. The therapist then made a thorough assessment of my overall condition, followed by an explanation of the interrelationship with the five elements and on to the decision of which 2 aromatherapy oil blends are right fit for me according to my constitution. The aroma oil blend I chose was the ‘Calm’ blend which comprised of Ylang Ylang, Bitter Orange and Lavender.
トリートメント前は、身体の状態を知る為の五行学説に基づいた体質診断がセラピストにより行われます。結果を元に、自然界に存在するあらゆるものを5つのエレメントに分解し、今の身体の状態とバランス、又トリートメント用の最適なアロマオイルブレンドを教えてくれます。 今回私の状態に適したアロマオイルブレンドは、イランイラン・ビターオレンジ・ラベンダーがブレンドされた「カーム」という名のオイルでした。
The treatment comprised of herbal tea foot bath ritual, then massages focused along the meridian (known as the living energies of “Qi” and “Blood” that flow through the body) which is said to approach acupuncture points opening the whole body’s lymph nodes, followed by the aroma oil treatment. Along with the soothing sounds of gentle chimes and healing music, my thoughts quickly drifted into a comforting embrace for the next 90 minutes.
