Taï Thaï (Nyon)

Traditional Thai massage, known as Nuad Boran or Nuad Rak Sa, is a medical practice recognized by the World Health Organization.

The word "Nuad" means pressure and "Boran" means elder. The main aim of Nuad Boran is to control and reduce the pain associated with chronic muscular tension, thus contributing to well-being and preventive health.

This 2,500-year-old therapy is very popular in Asia and India (traditional medicine). A physician from northern India, Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, personal physician to the King of Magadha, Bimbisara, is considered its founder. Kumar Baccha is known as a friend of Buddha and a physician to the community of Buddhist monks. Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha taught the various body care and massage techniques practiced in Thailand today. All the Siamese pharmacopoeia formulas and treatment techniques are inscribed on the walls of the Phra Chetuphon temple (Wat Po).

In addition to the massage techniques practiced in Thailand today, Kumar Bhaccha's name refers to his knowledge of the healing power of plants and minerals.
