[Incheon] Yackseokwon (약석원)

Hello! Here is the detailed information for ‘Yackseokwon (약석원)’.

💡 Overview

Ganghwa Sajabalssuk, a type of mugwort native to Ganghwado Island, is known for its rich aroma and high vitamin A content. Yackseokwon offers immunity-strengthening programs using this special herb believed to help prevent chronic illnesses. “Raise Your Body Temperature by 1°C Project” is a signature course, which involves yoni steaming (mugwort steam sitting bath) and thermal moxibustion to gradually warm the body. Just an increase of 1 degree in body temperature is said to boost immune function, increase basal metabolism, and improve blood circulation. The program is offered by reservation only and accommodates up to 25 people per session. The 100-minute experience begins with 40 minutes of yoni steaming, followed by 30 minutes of abdominal heat therapy and 30 minutes of lower back heat therapy. Participants are also served a rich herbal tea brewed with Ganghwa Sajabalssuk.
