The Most Restorative Spots on Earth for Natural Healing

The hustle and bustle of the real world is enough to create tension just thinking about it. At those times, finding calm in Mother Nature seems, well, natural-and the latest tech is exactly what you might not want.

Whether it's a dip in an ancient bath, exploring a primeval forest or indulging in a treatment by a revered spiritual healer, these locations have something for every one of their wellness-focused guests.
