Detoxification


Detoxification is important to maintaining health in an increasingly polluted daily environment. Hydrotherapy includes the therapeutic use of water, heat, and cold, and forms the traditional basis of many spa treatments that enhance the body's ability to remove stored wastes. Baths promote the circulation of fluids and excretion of waste products via the liver, kidneys, and skin. Steam, alone or combined with dry skin brushing, is a powerful way of stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation. Inhalation of essential oils during a steam treatment is an especially effective way to deliver the healing properties of the oils directly to the skin and nervous system. Body wraps with herbal infusions or essential oils allow the plant essence to be absorbed through the skin, while seaweed wraps help to hydrate the skin and draw out toxins.

Our steam capsule uses pure distilled water and therapeutic grade essential oils. A soft-bristled wooden body brush is yours to use and to take home. In a separate room is our deep soaking tub, where you may choose a sea salt or aromatherapy bath. Sip a glass of fresh lemon water and relax with a cool compress on your forehead while you soak. Enjoy a relaxing scalp massage during your herbal or seaweed wrap.
