I used to think those fancy spas were just full of rich women getting overpriced pedicures and putting some faux-exotic European-sounding “treatments” like mango oils or rutabaga essence rubbed into their hair. But this spa in Philly (of course it’s Philly) is saying screw the uppity spa treatments and are slapping a dough ring on your face and pouring straight-up butter in your eye.
Netra basti is a therapeutic technique for the eyes in which warm (butter) ghee bathes one eye at a time.
It is nourishing to the deep connective tissue of the eyes, improves vision and is helpful for eye strain, dry eyes, styes, squinting, drooping eyelids, optic neuritis, early stages of cataract and Bell’s palsy. It also smoothes wrinkles around the eyes.
So, they wrap your eye in dough, fill the dough-hole with clarified butter and then make you open your eye. If you go to this spa, I suggest you also opt for the cheesesteak foot soak and the scrapple back smear.

I don’t know, I’m calling bullshit on this one. Why the hell would Jesus Christ himself need to go to a spa, he’s a demigod for Christ’s sake.
(Wow, I used “hell”, “Jesus Christ”, and “for Christ’s sake” all in the same sentence; and it was all unintentional.)
