We’ve been lucky enough to laze around in the treatment rooms of a great majority of the spas around town. But there’s one that we’ve been anticipating ever since we heard the first whispers about it: Chuan Body + Soul at the Langham Hotel (250 Franklin Street, Boston, 617.451.1900). Opening later this month or early in July (the exact date was not determined at press time), Chuan centers on traditional Chinese medicine; in fact, it’s one of the first hotel spas to do so. Pop by for a Thalgo Facial, an Herbal Salt Scrub, or a Harmony Massage; each visit begins with a questionnaire that helps discern which of your five elements (water, fire, wood, metal, and earth) are out of whack. From there, you’ll be “prescribed” a blend of essential oils and a tea to help restore your internal balance. Guests are also free to use the health club’s amenities (indoor lap pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, and TechnoGym equipment) posttreatment.
