As autumn and winter arrive, many people suffer from cold hands and feet. To help guests experience another side of the season, Silks Place Taroko’s Mulan Spa, drawing on the distinctive ginger from Xiulin Township in Hualien County, introduces the “Winter Warm Ginger Qi Viscera Lymph Wellness Treatment.” This special essential oil massage treatment features ginger as one of its key elements, combined with lymphatic drainage techniques, along with a deep abdominal massage targeting qi viscera detoxification. It helps improve internal circulation, effectively relax muscles and joints.

To align with local agricultural produce and the natural canyon environment, the “Warm Ginger Qi Viscera Lymph Wellness Treatment” designed by Mulan Spa at Silks Place Taroko includes hydrotherapy, deep abdominal massage (qi viscera), and lymph dry brushing. Following the direction of lymph flow, it activates metabolism, promotes circulation, and helps eliminate accumulated toxins and waste in the body. The treatment emphasizes the deep, enveloping touch on the qi viscera to support abdominal circulation and facilitate smooth bowel movements and gas release. This therapy also provides rest and nourishment to weakened nerves caused by anxiety, tension, and inner stress. Ginger has long been known for its health benefits, such as improving digestion, boosting immunity, and enhancing energy. Many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe that ginger can promote blood circulation, alleviate symptoms of cold hands and feet, soothe menstrual pain, and aid perspiration. It can be consumed as a drink or used in wellness baths. Ginger baths not only relieve joint or muscle soreness and pain but are also effective against rheumatism, cold extremities, and insomnia.

The gut is considered the body’s second brain. The massage technique used in this treatment—“Qi Viscera”—originated from Taoism in ancient China over a thousand years ago. It was traditionally used by monks to help detoxify, strengthen, and refine their bodies. Combined with lymph dry brushing, it enhances lymphatic metabolic speed, allowing the body to renew itself and restore physical, mental, and spiritual comfort, resulting in renewed vitality.

The “Warm Ginger Qi Viscera Lymph Wellness Treatment” lasts 120 minutes, consisting of a 30-minute negative ion mountain spring bath and a 90-minute massage session. It includes a deep ginger massage and a set of ginger wellness tea and snacks. The ginger wellness tea and snack set features a welcome health tea—lemon verbena ginger tea—a heartwarming drink—ginger milk vinegar—and chef-special desserts made with spices and ginger.
