Paging Dr. Spa

Send to a friend
Tea lovers won't want to miss this green tea soak.

Tikkun Medical Center presents its first spa.

Some walls have ears. The ones at Tikkun Holistic Spa, opening tomorrow, have healing powers. Let us introduce...

Dr. Jade. Straight from Korea, where jade is traditionally believed to stimulate the immune system and draw out toxins, this stone room's warmed tiles take relaxing to another level.

Dr. Salt. Himalayan rock salt walls, floor and ceiling naturally purify the skin, and misted salt vapors heal inside and out.

Dr. Clay. Get purified by the natural clay room as infrared wall panels bake out the week's stress.

Dr. Ice. Perfect for an immediate cool-down between treatments, the ice room transports you to Nordic territory and back in a single minute.

Nurse Tea. This soaking pool is filled with antioxidant-rich green tea brewed in a giant tea bag (pictured).

Receive your treatment in whichever room intrigues you. Therapies we'd choose: Japanese shiatsu, Indian ayurveda, Korean scrub with reflexology and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi (massage). Psst--we've heard the spa is attracting aestheticians from Exhale.

Doctor's in the house.
