Health tourism with cypress trees at Pyeonbaek soop Healingtopia 편백 숲 힐링 토피아 South Korea

 

The reason why people feel refreshed in the forest lies in the volatile substance called phytoncides that are produced by trees. This substance not only calms the mind and supports the immune system, but is also known to be antibacterial. This substance also reduces stress and helps skin problems such as atopy. Conifers release more phytoncides than trees with large leaves. The spruce is said to be the best tree in this regard among all the trees.

The power of phytoncide that cypresses produce, At Pyeonbaeksoop Healingtopia, you can feel the effect of phytoncide in the heart of the city. The delicate aroma of fir meets you from the moment you arrive at the door. Most of the interior is made of cypress wood and eco-friendly materials. Its facilities include 4300㎡ large healing centers, cafes, body type correction centers, walking trails and forest gardens. The basic healing program consists of a hot and cold stone base bath, a foot bath, and a cypress enzyme spa. The first stop was at the "hot resonant earth bath"

Visitors lie on the heated floor in a room whose four walls are covered with cypress wood. Gongmyeongto is made of yellow clay, which releases large amounts of long distance infrared rays, and gives the effect of a therapeutic walk in the forest. This program helps relieve pain and relaxes the body and soul. When it reaches a temperature of 40 ~ 50 ℃, the ground starts to emit long-distance infrared rays. These rays penetrate the body and stimulate the cells about 2,000 times per minute, which causes an increase in body heat.

The activated cells radiate heat, and this increases body temperature. The body then begins to release waste and improve blood circulation. It feels like in a spa, where you lie back, sweat, and feel instantly refreshed. The body feels much lighter after a short break in the stone-paved bathroom. After sweating in a hot place, it is time to cool off again. The path takes you past large glass windows to a cool germanium bath with a lovely garden

The scenery here is truly amazing. To recover the skin from the heat of the rock-bottom chamber, a cypress water mask is used here and plenty of liquid is sprayed. After a cold stone bath for 20 minutes, the next program awaits you: a foot bath in a large tub made of cypress wood. The water in it is special, because it is a herbal mixture made with medicinal ingredients, cypress wood and cypress oil. Dipping your feet in it helps blood circulation and can also get rid of edema.

Fir enzyme baths that support the immune system, The facility also offers a fir enzyme bath. The spruce wood is filled with sawdust and enzymes which are fermented with various herbal remedies. When you put your hand in it, you can feel the intense heat. After that you tuck in your body so only your head is visible, and after about 20 minutes your whole body heats up and is ready to sweat. With a high body temperature of 38 ~ 39 ℃, blood circulation increases, metabolism is active and the immune system is strong. In regular spas, the outer layer of the skin is stimulated by intense heat, whereas the cypress enzyme method uses natural fermentation heat to allow long-distance infrared rays to penetrate the skin further and heat the body from within. This synergy effect is even stronger due to using spruce phytoncide.

Take a walk and heal in the Pine Tree Garden, After the cypress enzyme bath, take your light body and soul to visit the garden behind. The walkways are nicely decorated and restore you to the many phytonides here. Great way to connect with nature and recharge healthy energy in the heart of the city.
