The Benefits of Water for a Healthy Body

For centuries the ‘spa’ has been a place where people go to take part of the healing power of water. Historically physicians have prescribed water to help in the healing of rheumatism, arthritis, skin irritation, infertility, sore muscles and inflammation. Though as modern medicine evolved, the idea behind “folklore remedies” was placed under scrutiny as the shift in medicine went towards curing instead of preventing disease. But the good news is that recent trends show that water treatments are becoming increasingly popular again. Spas across the nation are turning toward filtered water systems for their guests to enjoy a clean and rejuvenating soak for a beautiful appearance.

Underwater Massages:
Warm water raises body temperature, which helps in the relaxation of muscles, mind and spirit. This type of massage helps relieve tension in athletes or orthopedic and muscular weaknesses.

Soothing Showers:
Playing with temperature can help energize the body, as well as increasing its circulatory response. You can also add an exotic exfoliating scrub to help renew and soften your clients skin.

Soaking Baths:
Submerging into a nice bath helps spa goers de-stress from the everyday hustle and bustle. Baths with salt help relax tension in muscles. Whey protein is an excellent soothing agent from skin irritations and mud soaks help detoxify the body from the everyday environmental toxins our bodies are exposed to.
