2. The Chakra Clearer

Oprah Winfrey and Uma Thurman are among discerning travelers visiting Ananda Spa in the Himalayas. The pampering healing treatments at this retreat are the highlight, including the famed Abhyanga. This traditional Ayurvedic therapy utilizes the expert digits of two masseuses for a luxurious four-handed massage, followed by a centuries-old treatment that includes oil gently poured over the forehead to help blood circulation and open the “third eye” for better mental clarity. While one masseuse pours the oil, another massages your feet and balances your chakras.

Abhyanga, $70 for 55 minutes (unless included in wellness package), Ananda Spa, Himalayas, India.
