Description:
Where East meets West! Discover the 1st authentic Japanese Ganbanyoku Spa in North America, in the heart of downtown Toronto. Our Spa offers a unique new "green" way for people to look and feel better. For the price of a facial, you can experience a full body detox, lose weight, feel energized and rejuvenated and enjoy many other holistic benefits.
Ganbanyoku, which translates to "bedrock bathing" is extremely popular in Japan (over 3,000 have been established since 2001). Lying on heated slabs of exclusive Black Silica polished stones, imported directly from Japan, is an ultimate healing experience. Unlike the physical challenge of staying in a sauna, people feel relaxed while they are enveloped in the comfort of the warm bedrock. This special rock is highly concentrated with minerals and emits far-infrared rays that warms the body from the inside.
