We love living in NYC just as much as the next person, but to say that the city can definitely get a bit stressful here and there is an understatement. Between having to choose between ordering takeout or paying rent, tourists who think a FaceTime call is best had in the middle of the sidewalk, and subway delays that make us want to rip our hair out, we could all use a minute to step back and decompress.
And, stepping up to the plate just in time is the all too good sounding brain detox.
What is a brain detox, you ask? Allow us to tell you.
The brain detox treatment helps to release muscle tension–in the feet, neck, chest, face, head, and hands–reduce brain fatigue, and relax the body and mind.
The result: a newfound sense of energy, a rebalanced body and nervous system, and increased fluid circulation. In other words, you’ll essentially feel as if you’ve been reborn, and we’re definitely not complaining about that.
The treatment came about as a way to combat the overuse of smartphones and computers which causes fatigue to accumulate in the brain, thus disturbing the autonomic nervous system. By targeting these issues the brain detox leads to better sleep, improved immunity, and an overall sense of clarity.
The best part is that the treatment doesn’t have to take all day (unless, of course, you’re looking for a bit of extra pampering–in which case we say go all out!) Salon 87 in Brooklyn offers the treatment in as little as a half hour or as long as two hours.
The “quick service” gets you in and out in 30 minutes and includes a head and facial massage while the “dry + décolleté + facial” service takes 120 minutes (it’s their longest one) and includes a foot massage with eye stone, a hand massage, gua sha, and more.
The good news is you really can’t go wrong regardless of which service you choose.
Salon 87 is located at 386 Graham Ave. in Brooklyn. You can learn more on their website.
