For centuries, health gurus and rice farmers in Thailand have used concoctions of ginger and rice to increase circulation, ease muscle pain, and relieve tension. Drawing from tradition, the spa at the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai offers the Rice and Spice Skin Scrub — a luscious, body-warming treatment that you can easily re-create at home.
