Relaxation enjoyed with scents
Many modern people look to herbs for alleviation of fatigue and relaxation of their body and mind. It is not difficult to find herbs even in homes. A good scent reduces tension and brings up energy.
Ilyeong Herbland located in Yangju is an amusement park featuring Herbal Living Shop, Herbs Botanical Garden, and Herbal Healing Center. Once you enter Herbal Living Shop after passing by small flower pots that welcome the spring, you will see a variety of living products made of different kinds of herbs and natural ingredients. Behind forsythias in full bloom and powerfully spinning pinwheels, Solveigs Restaurant and Solveigs Bakery, known for tasty garlic breads, are located.
Herbal Healing Center, the pride of Ilyeong Herbland, is divided into two sections. At the healing center located by the entrance, one may enjoy a foot bath and take the stairs in the back of the building to go up to the rooftop, which is a perfect place for a small chat over a cup of coffee or herbal tea while looking down onto the Herbland. Another healing center is inside the Herbs Botanical Garden, which is a good place to take a stroll before or after the foot bath. Here, you may experience a foot bath and a dry-type sitting heater that helps reduce fatigue of the body starting from the feet, and also enjoy a healthy and comfortable rest as you feel the far infrared ray anion effects with your entire body through sauna and aromatherapy.
Take a walk around Ilyeong Herbland and give your feet a rest at the Healing Center. Rejuvenated feet will lead you to good places.
