The aromatherapy, quiet, and soft music that is uninterrupted by any thing makes the trip very special.

The salt baths follow the mud bath. The therapeutic minerals found in the salt bath enter the pores that have been opened during the mud bath and begin to heal and rejuvenate the tissues of the skin.
