King Sauna brings the One-of-a-Kind Asian Holistic Treatment to De-Stress, Detoxify and Heal the Body
Dallas, TX (January 6, 2009)—King Sauna and Spa recently opened its doors in Dallas’ Asian Trade District offering treatments that date back thousands of years. King has created one-of-kind saunas that are made of gold, amethyst crystals, 350 million year old salt blocks and other natural elements that are combined with heat to help the body relax and release toxins, maximizing the body’s self-healing abilities. The brand new 34,000 square foot facility contains 9 distinctive sauna rooms and is the largest Asian sauna in the United States. Each sauna focuses on a different area of the body’s healing.
“The saunas are very popular in Asia and Europe,” said Sang T. Kim, CEO and owner of King. “The therapeutic benefits are the reasons people come and keep coming back.”
According to medical experts, stress is a leading factor to the development of many fatal diseases including cancer, high blood pressure and other ailments of the neurological system. King’s unique saunas focus on optimizing the body’s natural healing process through relaxation and detoxification.
According to The International Steam Therapy Association, sweating from heat therapies such as those employed by King Spa can help the body to purge itself of impurities by improving the function of the circulatory system. This is because more than 30% of the body wastes and toxins are passed through the skin. Profuse sweating enhances the detoxifying capacity of the skin by opening pores and flushing impurities from the body. King Sauna couples this detoxification process with the traditional healing techniques to create 9 uniquely powerful saunas.
King’s Unique Saunas Include:
? The Air Room—Made of wood that releases an organic compound called phytoncide that helps with skin disorders and allergies (75~78 degrees)
* Yellow Soil and Wormwood Room—Releases far infrared rays to deeply heat the body (120~123 degrees)
* Bul Ga Ma—Contains amethysts crystals and a unique living stone called elvan. This room is very hot to maximize the healing benefits of infrared rays (120~155 degrees)
* The Ice Room—Chilled to just above freezing, a brisk cold treatment stimulates blood flow and tightens the skin (35 degrees)
* The Salt Room—Made from 350 million year old salt rocks, this room aids in rejuvenating the skin (115~120 degrees)
* Gold Pyramid Room—The pyramid shaped sauna channels metaphysical energy coupled with the unique healing effects of 23 carat gold to help cleanse impurities (110~115 degrees)
* Yellow-Soil Ball Crystal Room—Unique to ancient Korean culture, this room combines the benefits of infrared rays and the absorptive nature of the yellow soil to extract toxins within the body (120~125 degrees)
* Base Rock Bath Room—Contains amethyst crystals, yellow soil and a bed-like slab of an imported Japanese mineral called Siraka that is said to have fantastic healing abilities (120~127 degrees)
* Fire Sudatorium—Made from Elvan stones, King Sauna’s Fire Sudatorium is the world’s largest and grandest heated sauna. The intense heat is exhilarating. (165~170 degrees)
To help cleanse the body from all the toxins released in the saunas, King has large private rooms for men and women to relax even more. Each room has several large pools of water containing natural herbs such as Jasmine that soothes the body and helps refresh the skin. The herbs also have a calming effect. The whirl pools are of various temperatures ranging from hot, warm to ice cold.
King’s whirlpools include:
* The Wormwood Steam Sitz (hip) Bath—This bath uses the steam infused from various kinds of medical herbs.
