Relaxation is in the air…

Ashiyu Foot Spa features a new nebulizer that fills the air with healing essential oils.

A powerful dose of eucalyptus can relieve an irritated throat, sinsuses or lungs. Lavender oil vapors drive away infections and bring relief from stress. Your attendant will ask if you would like a complementary aromatherapy treatment when you are soaking at Ashiyu Foot Spa, which also features therapeutic reflexology treatments, and infrared sauna, roller massage bed, ionized alkaline drinking water, and more.

Correct your toes and change your life!

No other product offers to reverse foot and leg conditions as completely as Correct Toes. Bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciosis, neuromas, heel and ankle pain all have been reversed by using Correct Toes. Developed by a Portland podiatrist who has since stopped performing surgery almost entirely, Correct Toes are a pair of toe-straightening prostheses that feel comfortable to wear and pack some serious therapeutic power.

Visit Ashiyu Foot Spa in Northwest Portland to find out more. They are located at 2113 NW Northrup St. A pair of Correct Toes is priced at $65.

Lighten your mood

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) brings many people down during these cloudier months. Studies have shown that exposure to bright light can trigger seratonin production, increasing the feeling of well being. Lights with the right intensity and color spectrum can be expensive. Ashiyu Foot Spas in Sellwood is making a new Sky model light by Day Light available for its customers. The light features a big bright face and shines on the user at the angle that has been found to provide the most relief. A twenty minute session in the “happy chair” at Ashiyu is just $5. Visit Ashiyu at 2113 NW Northrup St  in NW Portland, or call 503-232-0920. Online at www.ashiyu.com.
