Everything feels thick coming out of winter.

Slow mornings, a head that won't quite clear, a throat you're always clearing, a body that feels like it's carrying more than it did in October. You've tried oil massage and found it pleasant and somehow beside the point — more of the same heaviness, applied warm. 

This is the opposite treatment, and the only one in the series with no oil in it at all. Warm medicated herbal powder is worked over the entire body, upward and against the direction of the hair, toward the heart. It is vigorous. It moves circulation and lymph, takes the dullness off the skin, and produces a specific lightness that oil work does not — the reason it is the classical answer to this exact season rather than a variation on massage. 

Warm sand boluses follow across the low back, hips, and between the shoulder blades, bringing dry heat where the winter settled. The powder is brushed off dry; there's no shower and no oil in your hair. Six appointments, and everyone in the room gets first refusal on the spring cleanse before it opens to the list.
