MANDARIN ORIENTAL BOSTON INTRODUCES FOREST THERAPY JOURNEY
Having just undergone a US$15 million renovation project of all guest rooms and event spaces, the Mandarin Oriental Boston is now looking super swanky. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Boston, the only Forbes Five-Star Spa in Massachusetts, has also become the first spa in the US to offer Aromatherapy Associates’ new Forest Therapy journey. It’s inspired by the Japanese art of Shinrin-Yoku, or forest bathing, which involves spending time in nature to improve overall well-being.
The treatment incorporates Forest Therapy, Aromatherapy Associate’s new essential oil blend, a nurturing mix of evergreen pink pepper, calming cypress, cleansing ho wood and uplifting juniper berry that’s designed to soothe body and soul. mandarinoriental.com
