Detoxification Treatments
Coming July 2024
Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas use dry heat generated by lights to heat the body directly, as opposed to conventional saunas that heat the room. Research shows that infrared saunas can improve cardiovascular and lung function, boost immunity, improve sleep, decrease stress and anxiety, and promote healing of skin conditions like psoriasis. It is also shown to reduce pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis, myofascial conditions, and fibromyalgia. However, one of the best-known benefits of infrared saunas is increased calorie burn and sweat loss, which boosts metabolism (weight loss), stimulates detoxification, and improves skin tone. Please bring a bathing suit to wear in the Sauna (one-person sauna only) and be well hydrated.

Dry Brushing & Castor oil Pack
During dry brushing, the therapist brushes the skin in a circular motion starting at the feet and ending at the neck. The brushing is shown to break down cellulite and stimulate the lymphatic system for weight loss, improved skin tone, stronger immunity, and overall detoxification. Once the body has been brushed, a Castor oil pack is placed on the abdomen from the diaphragm to the pelvic area. Castor oil has been used as a natural remedy for thousands of years to reduce inflammation in the abdomen and pelvis. Its specific benefits include improving digestive health (bloating, constipation, inflammation), liver health, uterine and ovarian health (fibroids, cysts, cramps), and break up adhesions and scar tissue. Please bring a dry brush or purchase one at our Apothecary before the treatment.
Sessions
Herbal Body Wrap
Herbal body wraps are an effective and relaxing detoxification treatment that causes a slimming effect, stimulates detoxification, and hydrates the skin. The initial step is dry brushing the skin to exfoliate dead skin cells, break down cellulite, and increase lymphatic flow. Then the massage therapist uses a light massage technique to apply a detoxification mask – seaweed, mud, or clay – over the entire body. The body is wrapped in warm bandages and covered with an insulted sheet. As the body warms up, the mask naturally draws out toxins and extra water resulting in loss of weight and inches. Once the wraps are removed and the body is wiped down, a moisturizing treatment is applied. Please bring a bathing suit.
