Mind & Body Spa Treatments
The benefits of spa treatments are immeasurable. The opportunity for men and women to take time out from their busy lives to indulge themselves at a spa is reward enough. The added gain of a healthier body, flushed toxins, more flexible joints make them that much more appealing.
Spa treatments may include nutritional counseling, exercise routines, and a number of other mind/body techniques, such as Reiki, body wraps, salt scrubs, and mud baths.
These treatments can be enjoyed at day spas where you can take a few hours out for yourself or you could spend a week in a spa resort in the Caribbean. There are numerous options for spa treatments.
Reiki: a Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation, and promotion of healing. It is conducted by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. By keeping your "life force energy" high, you are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei for 'god's wisdom or the higher power' and Ki which is 'life force energy'. Reiki actually means 'spiritually guided life force energy'.
Body wraps: a body wrap can be with a body mask made of algae, seaweed, mud, clay, lotion or cream. Later the product is rinsed off. This body wrap treatment is sometimes called a body cocoon or body mask. Algae, seaweed, mud or clay body wraps are detox treatments that help rid the body of toxins through metabolic stimulation. Body wraps using shea butter and rich lotions are hydrating treatments used to soften the skin.
Salt scrubs: A salt scrub is the combination of salt and other ingredients which is used to exfoliate dead skin from the body. This leaves your skin fresh and nourished with herbal ingredients. Regular exfoliation promotes healthy, glowing skin by removing debris and dead materials all at once. A number products are designed for exfoliation, including sugar scrubs and scrubs with ingredients like ground nutshells and loofah..
Mud baths: are a simple alternative therapy which helps relax muscles, soothe aches, improve blood circulation and soften the skin. Mud baths are also often recommended to help reduce stress and leave you feeling rejuvenated at the end of the session. Detoxification is one of the most effective methods to eliminate toxic substances that build up throughout our system, and the best way to detox is through the skin.
