After being swathed in heated, steaming towels, more warm blankets are piled on. You are then left, often with candlelight and soft music, to luxuriate as a blissed-out human burrito. Sometimes a scalp massage is included. But always, either an herbal bath or a hot shower follows. Wraps consisting of seaweed, mud or herbal products are applied to the body and face to facilitate deep cleansing.
Exfoliation is a common part of many different treatments.
For example, a facial usually includes a scrub. There are different types and varieties of steams. Also, the steam can be scented with herbal oils such as eucalyptus or lavender for added pleasure. Water-based treatments using the nourishing qualities of seawater, algae and seaweed help eliminate toxins through the skin. A mud treatment is one version of a wrap.
