Enzyme drinks are very popular for health and dieting these days.
Japanese enzyme drinks are made from fermented fruits, vegetables, and also seaweed.
But how about an enzyme bath?
The Enzyme bath is like a dry bath, using fermented wood chips instead of water.
Fine cedar and cypress chips are fermented with vegetable enzyme, and heated to around 60~70 degrees.
The heat and the enzyme extract warm your body deeply, helping you relax, refreshing your body and treating your skin.
Here’s how to take the enzyme bath.
- Have a small glass of enzyme drink as you enter.
- Change into rental bathing clothes.
- Lie in the bath, covered in chips for 15~20 minutes.
- Sit up for lower-body bathing for 10 minutes.
- Rub off the wood chips and rinse in the shower.
Let’s start a healthy new year with an enzyme bath!
