In Your Element

Chuan Body + Soul Opens

You regularly regard yourself as well-balanced.

You nibble from every food group, maintain serotonin levels sans chemicals, and generally keep your panties out of a twist.

Chuan Body + Soul, the new spa and wellness center opening inside The Langham today, scales a peak of well-being that even you have yet to transcend. The foundations of their signature treatments (from a muddy body wrap to stone therapy massage) are the elemental forces found in traditional Chinese medicine: earth, fire, metal, water, and wood.

You’ll be asked about your preferred colors, seasons, and mood to determine your body’s momentary balance, after which customized oils and herbal teas will be prescribed. Following the pampering, take a dip in the pool or unwind in the sauna.

After this experience, your former self will seem positively off-kilter.

Chuan Body + Soul, The Langham Boston, 250 Franklin Street, Downtown (617-451-1900 or chuanbodyandsoul.com).
