I went to a Korean Spa on Saturday and spent over THREE hours relaxing. Evern been to one? It's amazing. Allow me to explain...You pay $35 and you have access to Poultice Rooms, Steam baths, Saunas, Bade pools and herb themed public baths. Amazing. Did I mention that $35 lets you stay in the spa for 24 hours? No joke.

What's a poultice room, you may wonder. I'm not exactly sure except they generate radiant heat from natural earth elements such as hot red clay, gems, and germanium. Benefits include not only the benificial effects of thermotherapy, but also infrared rays, which are associated with removel of harmful toxins from the body. A poultice room looks like this:

This particular spa had 7 different rooms including the Amethyst Gem room, the Red Clay room, the Ice room, the Oak Wood Charcoal room, the Red Clay Ball room (my favorite becuase it was a well-being room with the effect of acupressure and massage using hot red clays balls as well as yellow jade), the Blue Onyx room and the Salt room. In addition to the Poultice rooms, I was able to enjoy the saunas, steam baths and Bade Pools, though these rooms were not unisex as you are required to be nude (sweet!). There were two saunas, a dry sauna and a steam sauna. Furthermore, there was an ice bath and two herbal infused baths: rose and aloe. The Bade Pool was a water massage therapy center that had different stations that concentrated on different areas of your body. Here is an outline of the room (again, nudity required) and the massage techniques:

If you like to be pampered, if you like to be nude, and if you like to walk away feeling like you are going to fall asleep on your drive home, then head out the Korean Day Spa nearest you. It was a blast!

***This is actually the second one I've (Anne) been too. A couple of my friends and I went to one in New York over Labor Day. One word: AMAZING!***
