Signature treatment

Saigon's been under your feet all day. (1)

First a cool wash — fresh pomelo, lime, lemongrass and sea salt. The street comes off before anything else. Then the bath at 39°C: Red Dao herbs from one family in Sa Pa, drawn for two hours at 75° before you arrive. Nothing about it is instant. Face down, and a hot mugwort compress goes on the lower back first — it stays there and keeps working, from the first stroke to the last. Above it, one unbroken line from sole to sacrum, one leg at a time: sole, calf, hamstring. Dầu tràm under your face, three breaths, named when it arrives. You leave with a cooling balm on your soles — made to walk in sandals, not to fall asleep in. In the lounge afterwards, cacao tea in the glass.
