Spa Therapies

The term Spa appears to be more widely used than ever one could even argue over-used. While the Latin phrase Sanitas Per Aquas, 'health by or through water', has become one of the sexiest phrases in the beauty, health and wellbeing industry, its original meaning has become diluted. Not every spa offers water based treatments these days.

There are day spas, beauty salon spas, medi-spas, destination spas and cruise ship spas, there are resort spas, even club spas and by no means is this list exhaustive! As the list grows, along with our pursuit for beauty and wellness, how do we choose?

Although each spa is unique, think treatments, location, ambience, when it comes to choosing, as a few basic guidelines you may want to consider one with an existing reputation (world of mouth is also a good qualifier), clean and hygienic facilities (an absolute must), and of course wonderful service (that extra special care can make all the difference).

Speaking of which, when it comes to service, for many the therapists can be the key to one's enriching spa encounter, and it goes without saying they should be professionally trained and qualified.

As for the products used, most spas tend to offer a professional skincare or body care or specially prepared range. You may have the opportunity to experience some homemade spa recipes using fresh ingredients, particularly in countries like Thailand. If you're not sure about the products don't be afraid to ask, but don't get too hung up on them either, as quality spas will only offer the best. At the end of the day, it's about the end result and the total mind, body, spirit journey.

Your spa experience is also all about you, what you enjoy and what suits you. It is designed to leave you felling totally rejuvenated and peaceful, so seek and environment which invokes this. Maybe it's the serene atmosphere that calls you back again and again, or the soothing music, scented candles, fresh flowers, cups of herbal tea, safe and nurturing rest zone, or even the comprehensive treatment menu.

While spas assist us in regaining and maintaining balance on all levels, the benefits are numerous to completely relax, distress, to be pampered and detoxified, to escape and rejuvenate...It's always rewarding when we see and experience the results, whether they are physical, mental or spiritual.

We're advocates of a regular spa experience for the therapeutic values that can improve and enrich the quality of your life, helping you achieve a holistic wellbeing. Maybe it's time to consider your spa experience as a ritual rather than luxury.
