The treatments are tailored to each guest individually after an initial examination with the doctor, to effectively treat illnesses. Treatments include, for example, head, face, body, and foot massages, oil treatments, and warming herbal baths, but yoga and meditation are also integral parts. The center focuses on sustainability and aims to minimize the use of plastic in treatments. Daily yoga and meditation sessions are held alongside the therapy.
