“Health through water” is the Latin for sanus per aqua (SPA). It is with the help of water in modern spa salons that we are offered to improve our health, relax, lose weight and become even more beautiful.

Mineral waters, sea salt and algae, therapeutic mud, special climatic conditions, massage, steam rooms … The list goes on and on. Therefore, let's focus on the most popular spa treatments.

Thalassotherapy

This is a complex of procedures based on the effect of seafood on the human body. Thalassotherapy uses sea water, salt, mud, algae, which contain a large amount of useful microelements.

For example, sea water is used in procedures such as immersion baths, hydromassages, algae wraps, beauty masks and applications, and sea showers. At the same time, sea minerals are absorbed into the human skin through the pores. A mud bath is also a very intense procedure: at first you are in warm mud for 10 minutes, then you wash it off, take a mineral bath and bathe in steam. Finally, you may be wrapped in an algae blanket and left to cool.

These and other thalassotherapy procedures have anti-stress, antiviral, stimulating and antibacterial effects.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is a water procedure that is carried out for body shaping, weight loss, body relaxation and prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. For example:

• A rain shower is a collection of various souls pouring on a person in the smallest drops. The water in them is saturated with essential oils and herbal decoctions.
• Hydromassage is a massage performed under water in a special bathtub.
• Pearl baths - this beautiful name actually means the following: air bubbles (pearls) are created in the bathroom, which mix with jets of water and massage the human body. For greater benefit, herbal infusions, essential oils, algae extracts and sea salt are added to the water.

Body peeling

Peeling is the removal of old, dead skin cells, as well as various impurities. It is often recommended to do it before a massage. The pores are opened and cleaned during the procedure, after which cosmetics and aromatic oils are absorbed into the skin much faster.

There are many types of this spa procedure: peeling with mineral salts, peeling with seaweed, with moisturizing grape oil, etc.

Aromatherapy

The healing power of essential oils has been known for a long time. In modern spas, aromatic oils are used in conjunction with body wraps, massage, hydrotherapy, as well as in individual aromatherapy sessions.

Body wrap

Body wrapping is carried out with the help of various beneficial substances: algae, honey, chocolate, clay, herbs, medicinal mud, etc. This procedure can be done both in a beauty salon and at home.

Each product used for wrapping has its own characteristics and helps to achieve excellent results after a course of procedures. This is weight loss, getting rid of cellulite, body shaping, absence of edema and getting rid of stretch marks on the skin, general tone of the body and elimination of toxins from it.

Massage

Any massage has a beneficial effect on our body: it relaxes, relieves stress, rejuvenates, cleanses and heals. In beauty salons, clinics and massage rooms, you can choose a massage session of completely different duration and focus.

Nowadays, stone therapy is popular - massage with hot stones. The stone gives positive energy to the whole body and absorbs negative energy. In addition to complete relaxation, this type of massage activates metabolism and all systems of the body begin to work better.

Aromatherapy massage is simply an extraordinary procedure, when aromatic oils and unobtrusive music give a feeling of complete relaxation. And the purpose of the anti-cellulite massage is to make the skin more elastic and silky. During this procedure, honey, coffee, scrubs, sea salt and other useful ingredients are used.

Balneotherapy

Balneotherapy is carried out using medicinal substances from thermal springs. Such a procedure in salon conditions is done using peat, gas, radon, mineral and other baths. Wrapping and irrigation methods are also used.

After a course of balneotherapy, blood circulation improves and aging slows down, all the vital systems of the body come in tone.

Steaming

Complete steaming of the body occurs due to its warming up in the well-known Russian bath, Turkish hammam, Finnish sauna, etc. As a result of going to the steam room, you can feel complete relaxation and release of muscle tension, cleanse the body of toxins and even lose weight. And if, during steaming, you still apply a natural scrub to the skin and drip a little aromatic oil into the water, then the effect will be simply amazing!

Of course, this is not all the spa treatments that can be used in modern salons. An indisputable plus is that now it is not at all necessary to go to a health resort for this. But before signing up for the chosen procedure, do not forget to consult a specialist about the harm and benefits to your health.
