There are few things more relaxing<br />
than a trip to the spa. Breathing in the relaxing<br />
aroma, lounging in a plush robe,<br />
and being pampered for an hour — or<br />
a couple of days — is not only a luxurious<br />
experience, it is also good for your<br />
health. With many options to choose<br />
from, for both men and women, there is<br />
a spa treatment that can benefit anyone.<br />
Spas and Their<br />
Health Benefits<br />
by Anna Woodward<br />
Spas have come a long way throughout<br />
the ages. They now offer a wide<br />
variety of services that all increase a<br />
person’s health, appearance and mood.<br />
Even though spas have always offered<br />
water treatments, they have evolved over<br />
the ages to offer more services to help<br />
increase the beauty and mental state of<br />
their patrons.<br />
Today, many of these facilities are<br />
designed to provide their guests with a<br />
complete experience that can improve<br />
the health and fitness of the mind, body<br />
and spirit. There are many benefits<br />
ON THE<br />
of going to a place that specializes in<br />
providing relaxing and therapeutic treatments.<br />
Depending on where you go, you<br />
can experience everything in one day or<br />
over the course of several days.<br />
Many relaxation retreats cater to their<br />
patrons by providing services that will<br />
make them look and feel more attractive.<br />
Some of their most popular services are<br />
massages, facials, wraps, manicures and<br />
pedicures. Wraps can help to provide<br />
patrons with a slimmer and more toned<br />
appearance. They can even brighten your<br />
skin, giving you a glowing complexion.<br />
Massages are another important aspect<br />
of these facilities. When given in<br />
conjunction with water treatments, it<br />
is much easier for guests to relax. The<br />
scents that are provided through aromatherapy<br />
also contribute to creating<br />
a calming, soothing and stress-free environment.<br />

ways to remove all of the tension from<br />
your tired muscles and revitalize your<br />
spirit. The main benefit of going to these<br />
facilities is that you will feel rejuvenated<br />
and refreshed.<br />
Some spas have hydrotherapy services<br />
that provide additional health benefits.<br />
They can soothe and relax joints and<br />
muscles that are stiff and overworked.<br />
The patron sits in a hot tub that has special<br />
salts and oils in it to provide moisturizing<br />
and aromatherapy properties. By<br />
soaking in a hot tub, arthritis sufferers<br />
can get relief from their condition and increase<br />
their mood. The heat helps to increase<br />
blood flow by enabling the blood<br />
vessels to dilate. By increasing the blood<br />
circulation to the organs and affected areas<br />
of the body, the body is more able to<br />
heal. Pain is reduced as endorphins are<br />
released from the brain.<br />
Those who suffer from insomnia or<br />
have trouble getting a good night’s sleep<br />
can find relief in spas. By utilizing the<br />
services in the facility, they can relax<br />
their body and ease their mind to the<br />
point where it is much easier for them to<br />
fall asleep at night. This is a more natural<br />
approach than having to rely on sleeping<br />
medications and aids for relief.<br />
Although spas provide a great variety<br />
of services and products, some of these<br />
facilities can be categorized by their<br />
business focus. For example, there are<br />
medical, beauty, day and health spas.<br />
You can generally guess their areas of<br />
specialty from their name. Relaxation facilities<br />
are great places to go when you<br />
need a vacation or escape from stress or<br />
the world. You can spend a few hours<br />
or few days in the facilities and leave<br />
feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and with<br />
a new outlook on life.<br />
