This is a private spa space that is focused on boosting immunity. Located in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, “Myunyeokgongbang Black” looks like a luxurious spa that combines a jjimjilbang and a luxurious massage space. But it is even more than that, because of a unique feature you can only experience here. A mysterious stone called “sericite,” or padongseok in Korean, emits a special energy you can feel. The sericites from Japan are old natural stones formed hundreds of millions of years ago. It is known that even short exposure to sericites leads to the permeation of anions deep into the body, releases waste products and toxins accumulated in the body, and effectively boosts blood circulation. For this reason, you may sweat profusely even at relatively low temperatures (37-40 °C) of the indoor spa. By comfortably lying down to enjoy the sericite bath, you can increase your immunity by up to four times. One of the unique features of Myunyeokgongbang Black is that you can enjoy a spa in a private space only for you. At Green and Red, which are general zones, you can enjoy the sericite bath in personalized beds for two hours. At Purple and Black, which are VIP zones, you are offered a private room, which looks like a room in a guest house. A VIP room with a split-level structure has a personal spa room, a resting space with a garden, a shower room, and a private exit door. For this reason, many entertainers use the VIP rooms. Indeed, the VIP rooms offer the perfect space to enjoy a private rest without encountering other people. You can also get an aroma massage and taste organic salads, tea and other beverages made here.

Watching sports, you can often see athletes applying ice packs to their joints. When muscles damaged from intense exercise are exposed to cold temperatures, the blood vessels constrict and the metabolism slows down. This stops the damage of muscular tissues. When the body temperature returns to a normal range, cells are warmed, and damaged muscles recover rapidly. This principle is used in “cryotherapy,” which helps in rapid recovery. The term “cryotherapy” combines the Greek prefix “cryo” meaning “freezing cold” and the English word “therapy” meaning “treatment.” In a cryotherapy device, nitrogen freezes and a cryogenic environment is formed at a temperature of minus 130℃ or lower to lower your body temperature. A three-minute cryotherapy activates the metabolism for 40 minutes, consuming 400-800 kcal in the process, equivalent to the number of calories burned by swimming for one hour. Cryotherapy is also good for skincare, as it helps release waste from the skin and promote the recovery of skin cells.
