Ma-KOH-DO-ssage™
Incense infused BodyWork
What the Japanese call Koh-Do, or incense appreciation, has long been the spiritual nourishment of Japanese culture. Scents and sounds define experiences. It stimulates you at times, and it relaxes you at other times. Today, incense has captured people's hearts and plays a major role in relaxing or healing care, fulfilling our time and space and bringing contentment to our lives.
Brought to Japan in the Sixth century by Buddhist monks who used the mystical aromas in their purification rites, the delicate scents of Koh (Japanese high quality incense) became a source of amusement and entertainment with nobles in the Imperial Court during the Heian Era 200 years later.
The use of incense dates back to biblical times and may have originated in Egypt where the gums and resins of aromatic trees were imported from the Arabian and Somali coasts to be used in religious ceremonies. It was also used by the Pharaohs to counteract unpleasant odors, drive away demons and gratify the presence of gods.
