Herbal Therapy at Jewel Grande Resort & Spa, Jamaica

Within the grounds of the Jewel Grande Resort & Spa, Jamaica, a Herb Garden has been created as an attraction for guests as well as a supplier of fresh ingredients for a variety of treatments at the Spa. While guests wait to indulge in a variety of natural therapies, they are invited to view the garden and learn about the beneficial properties on the various herbs.

A wide selection of plants with medicinal values are propagated. Aloe vera is used to heal sunburn and rehydrate the skin. Lemongrass (called Fever Grass in Jamaica) is infused with water and offered as a refreshing drink after each treatment, and is also available at the Ortanique Juice Bar. Lemongrass reduces body temperature, while it re-energizes and revitalizes. Mint relieves indigestion and boosts the immune system and is also offered as a herbal beverage. Many of the Spa’s health and beauty products also include herbal preparations from the garden.
