Vaginal Steam Bath
It's the wave of the future or a blast from the past, and it's aimed directly at lady bits: An ancient steam treatment from Korea has made its way across the Pacific and is slowly filtering into our spas, according to the LA Times.
If chai-yok hasn't managed to infiltrate your town yet, an at-home kit containing a stool, boiler and herbs is available online.
The treatment, called chai-yok, involves sitting on an open-seated stool and letting steam from water infused with mugwort and wormwood (which sound like things found in a "Harry Potter" book) among other herbs wafting gently towards your swimsuit region. The steam-bath is supposed possess a number of healthful properties, including an ability to increase fertility, get rid of hemorrhoids and fight infections. Chai-yok's ability to actually do this stuff hasn't been scientifically proven, although some doctors have admitted that, if nothing else, the steam should be pretty good for your privates.
The Geisha Facial
What to expect: Based on an ancient Japanese geisha practice, the treatment uses "uguisu no fun," or nightingale dung, as its main ingredient. The droppings are sterilized, ground into a fine white powder and then mixed into a mask, which is said to have a slightly "musky" aroma.
Claims to lighten, brighten and balancing skin tones that have been damaged by acne or the sun.
Snake Massage
An Israeli health and beauty spa is offering a creepy new service for its customers - Snake Massage. For just $80 you can have large slithering reptiles such as California and Florida king snakes, corn snakes and milk snakes, wriggle down your back and up your spine and across your face. If you don’t freak out, it can be soothing experience, as the spa owner Ada Barak will tell you.
Barak figured out several years ago that heavy king and corn snakes produce a relaxing kneading sensation. She says that once people get over any initial misgivings, they find physical contact with the snakes to be stress relieving.
"Some people said that holding the snakes made them feel better, relaxed," she said "One old lady said it was soothing, like a cold compress."
The size of the snakes depends on the type of massage - the larger ones are said to alleviate deeper muscle tensions and the smaller ones create a 'fluttering' effect. All are the snakes used are non-venomous.
Fish Pedicures
This popular treatment has become a spa go-to for women around the world who want softer, smoother feet. Essentially, this treatment involves dipping your feet into a tank and letting
hungry little fish -- Garra rufa fish -- gently eat away at the dead skin cells that make your skin feel rough. Some places and states have banned the practice for fears it may be unsanitary.

Bull Semen Hair Treatment
While lathering up your locks with bull sperm might not be top of mind, it is the newest it-treatment in a few forward-thinking London salons. The semen is procured fresh from a farm in Cheshire, then cut with Katera—Iranian plant root, in the creation of a super high-protein hair mask that penetrates deeply into each follicle. The result? Supremely moisturized, nourished, shiny, thick yet light, and vivacious locks that leave hair luscious for several months. How does one get a job procuring the main ingredient I wonder? Do you have to take a class on the Art of bull seduction?
