Today I experienced the combination of Korean Herbal Tea and a Foot Bath. Every weekend, there is a Chinese-speaking staff present on the spot making it easy for you to communicate if needed. Make sure to book a time on the weekends.

The consultation starts off with a questionnaire that asks and attempts to understand your physical condition and places you want to improve. The consultant will then explain the causes of these symptoms you feel right now from the viewpoint of Korean medicine.

After about 10-20 minutes of consultation, the consultant will pick three herbs for you to make your Korean herbal tea from. You can also tell the consultant if you have a specific taste you do not like. The tea here is made from Organic Tangerine Peels, Boxthorn, and Jujube.

After the tea is prepared, the employees there will ask you to pick two kinds of Korean medicine kits for the foot bath. Relaxing A is a relaxing foot bath bag with mint added and Warming B is a foot bath bag with cinnamon added to help with the body's blood circulation.

The ingredients used to make these foot bath bags are all organic and none of them are artificial making it even drinkable if you really wanted to.
