Infrared Saunas, Detox Spas, and the Best Spots for Colonics

Surya Spa is no joke—in fact, it’s one of only a handful of Panchakarma spots in the states.

mind and body. It is made by simmering local, grass-fed, organic, unsalted butter and allowing the liquid to evaporate, leaving a caramelized substance with a nutty flavor. It is also popular among those who are lactose intolerant because its dairy impurities have been removed. [...]
