Wellbeing Tips For Winter
To optimise our health in this post-pandemic era, Antonis Sarris, Head Therapist at the hotel’s Six Senses Spa recommends: “Use herbs such as nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, asafoetida in food and teas, try warm oil massages and baths, and stay in warm and cosy places. Connect with loved ones and avoid stressful conditions, and if possible, practice daily short meditation, yoga, tai chi and breathing exercises.” For more tips from Antonis, see his 10 Alpine-Inspired Wellbeing Tips For Winter.
