The next day I met with an Indian doctor for a consultation at the
Ayurvedic Hut. Ayurveda is an ancient Indian healing tradition, meaning "science of life." I did not
hit it off too well with this
doctor, but I did sign up for a 50-minute Abhyanga massage (cost 250RM = $70 ) as he
recommended. I had no idea what an Abhyanga massage was, nor did I have any idea what I was in for. All I know is that I went into a poorly lit room in a hut in one of the tree villas. I was greeted by a friendly young
Indian man. Behind him was a wooden table a few inches thick, with a
lip around the edges so nothing would drip off. It looked like a place where people are embalmed. I did not have a good feeling about this at all. To top it off he made me strip down naked, and put on a homemade Tarzan-like covering – I’m talking skimpy! At that point I yearned for the paper underwear the KL Ritz provided.
