I got a free ticket to try this place and I finally got the opportunity to try it. So you walk in and they give you clothes to change into (a shirt and a very long skirt). After, you go into 1 of 2 rooms where there are ceramic (and for the lack of a better word) toilet seat (?). It has a rim where you sit and an opening in the middle. On the bottom, they put hot/​heated «sook» which is suppose to be good for women’s health. With the dress, you create a «tent» to keep the warmth in.
The smell of the «sook» can be a little off putting and for me… it burned my eyes! But it seemed like I was the only one feeling this pain because everyone around me seemed fine.
You have to sit on the seat for at least an hour to get the benefits so bring a book or something to do. Afterwards, you go into another room where they have blankets and pillows laid out on the floor. You lay down and place the bowl that contained the hot «sook» on your belly. They say to lay there for at least 30 minutes.
Be warned, you will smell like smoke afterwards so plan accordingly!
