For those spa-goers who are tired of Japanese sand baths and who contemplate Moroccan mud body wraps or Javanese exfoliating scrubs with a jaded sigh, there is now the Himalayan Tsangpo Ritual. The latest curiosity to emerge from the world apothecarium is based on sowa rigpa , or Tibetan traditional medicine, and is available at the Chi spas in the Edsa Shangri-La, Manila, and the Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok. It will also be introduced to spas at the chain's upcoming properties in the Maldives, New York City, Paris, and Boracay in the Philippines.
