Tao Garden Health Spa - Day 2

We're in better shape after today's detoxing than we were yesterday. Both of us notice our skin developing a healthier glow and our bodies feel better.

Here's the schedule for Detox Day 2 - (activities without descriptions are listed below in the schedule for day 1)
9 am Breakfast (We skipped the 7am Chi Kung since our bodies needed the rest)
10 am Abhyamga (50 wonderful minutes of a luscious warm oil massage given by two people - the oil was a detoxifying sesame oil with four herbal scents added; one for each element)
11am - Ozone treatment

12pm - Banana Leaf treatment
1pm - Lunch
2pm - Lymphatic/Rife machine

3pm - Herbal Steam Bath
5pm - Colon Hydrotherapy
6:30pm - Dinner
7:30pm - Tao Yin Evening Exercise (Russ only - The class consisted of breathing, stretching, and sound exercises intended to remove your body of bad chi (energy) and replace it with good chi)

Our bodies are feeling much better at the end of today than they were feeling yesterday. For Russ - it was the colon hydrotherapy which exhausted his body yesterday (making him feel like he had been snowboarding all day) however today's didn't nearly have the same impact on him.


Our skin looks amazingly healthy after the Abhyamga (oil) massage! After layers of oil were rubbed into our bodies, the masseuses scrapped the oil off of our bodies along with many toxins and unhealthy skin. Unfortunately we're not getting anymore Abhyamgas however we feel this massage served its purpose.

As they say here...Good Chi **Good Heart** Good Mind

I thought spas were supposed to be relaxing. The one you are at seems to pack a lot in.
Continue having lots of fun.
