Ganban Yoku

Ganban Yoku is a Japanese word meaning ‘stone bath.’ At Spa Pure, we call it a granite sauna. An innovative therapy, Ganban Yoku relies on the natural deep-cleansing and skin-revitalizing properties of granite quarried from eons-old rock in India because that stone, under laboratory analysis emitted more Far Infra Red light than the granite from Kyu Shu Japan, which is where nearly all Ganban Yoku in Japan are made from. 

Wearing nothing, you’ll lie enclosed under an herbal steam dome on a slab of pure granite. Just your head, resting on a pillow, will emerge from the towel which drops down over the dome entrance containing aroma infused steam.  For a challenge, pull the towel over your face; you will clean your sinuses!  The stone is gently warmed to 103F, releasing a very safe far-infrared energy that produces a deep, profuse sweat that flushes toxins from your cells and stimulates circulation without increasing your heart rate. Proponents say Ganban Yoku also increases metabolism and stimulates your skin’s production of youth-enhancing collagen.

The immediate results are undeniable: a glorious softening of stiff muscles, a clean, non-sticky sweat that you don’t need to shower off, and skin that’s radiant, smooth and shiny.

In one golden limestone room we have a pair of Ganban Yoku, good for either a party of one, or two.  A couples shower is in the room for cleansing before and after. 

This service is enjoyable as a stand alone service, but is an especially good compliment to massage and facial services.
