Element-ary my dear
You know your dosha from your rising sign and whether you are a summer or a spring, but ever had your Element tested?
The new Chi spa at the Shangri-La Hotel uses traditional Chinese philosophy to determine if you are more like earth, metal, fire, water or wood before customizing your treatment around your signature element. (Take the quiz here.)
Ginger tea served in a jade teacup, a complimentary foot cleansing and soak in local seaweed, and individual spa suites complete with personal tub, shower, fireplace, changing room and handy jewellery box take the Asian-themed hospitality almost over-the-top.
One thing's for sure: Whatever your element, after your treatment, you are sure to be in it.
