RAKxa offers Asia’s most serious scientific wellness offering

Leading medical wellness retreat, RAKxa, located just 45 minutes outside of the city on Bangkok’s Green Lung, is fast establishing itself as the most revolutionary scientific wellness centre in South-East Asia. The credibility of its clinical scientific offering is underpinned by its partnership with the world-renowned Bumrungrad International Hospital.

While the worlds of wellness and spa talk about ‘integrative health’, RAKxa is one of the first to deliver through ‘VitalLife’, the preventative and longevity subsidiary of the Bumrungrad Hospital.

RAKxa’s ethos is centred on preventative healthcare and forward-thinking lifestyle analysis and advice. A step up from the medi-clinics of Europe, its tailored 3 - 14 day programmes combine exceptional holistic treatments, an anti-inflammatory diet with powerful diagnostics and the latest technology and treatments to support healing.

With over 1,300 medical doctors and 4,800 support staff, Bumrungrad is a highly respected private hospital built on 42 years of excellence.  With more than 70 medical subspecialities, it has a reputation for covering an unusually broad range of complex care needs. VitalLife at Bumrungrad focuses on prevention and lifestyle changes and has built a reputation over 22 years to support its holistic approach to ageing well.

On arrival at RAKxa, every guest is assigned a personal VitalLife on-site doctor who analyses personal history as well as physical assessments. Genetic sequencing tests to predict future disease risks and comprehensive checks for hormone, micronutrients and toxic metals level in the body are also available. These assist RAKxa’s team to build a comprehensive and bespoke plan of action to optimise a personalised guest’s health. These advanced diagnostics and medical expertise are complemented by leading doctors in Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Thai practices.

RAKxa incorporates the best in health treatments drawn from both Western and Eastern practices and covers everything from weight control and Long Covid care to full post surgery recuperation packages, advanced aesthetics and de-stressing journeys.

AN EXAMPLE PROGRAMME
RAKxa’s approach is to provide guests with the right combination of treatment with the right atmosphere. They emphasise optimal results as much as the guest experience in all aspects. One example of this approach is the Long Covid programme:

Post-COVID wellness solutions is a programme for all guests who have recovered from COVID-19 with symptoms that continue for another 1–6 months and will occur with various systems and organs in the body, such as the lungs, heart, blood vessels, respiratory system, brain, nervous system, mood and mental health.

Symptoms Post-Covid, could be:

• Brain fog or constant headaches
• Mental health such as depression
• Respiratory systems such as shortness of breath, heavy breathing or coughs
• General: fatigue, hair loss and physical aches such as Joint Pain

There are two possible root causes to these symptoms;
1. Unresolved inflammation
2. Cell or tissue damage

The Approach

• The diagnostic process starts with a medical investigation by undergoing lab tests which look into immunity markers such as the percentage of different type of lymphocytes, NK cell count and NK cell cytotoxic activity.
• For those who have brain fog symptoms, the recommended treatment will be Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (to provide high pressure oxygen to restore energy production at cellular level,) IV brain detox to provide essential vitamins and nutrients to enhance brain function, Acupuncture for headache relief while combining with anti-inflammatory nutrition and lung strengthening exercise.  For a guest with fatigue, the doctor might combine the Antioxidant boost up IV and Blood Ozone IV into the treatment plan.  

For more personal medical concerns, guests can pre-book to see up to five specialists in a day at the hospital itself (just a 45 min drive from RAKxa) covering everything from mammograms to colonoscopies.

Benefitting from Thailand’s tropical beauty and warm hospitality, this fully integrated retreat goes far beyond standard destination spas.  RAKxa offers a game changing mix of world-class doctors within an exquisite luxury hotel setting immersed in nature. The regenerative treatments combine technology with tradition and ancient medical wisdom.  It is their expertise in the combined selection of treatments that matters.
