Spending a day or a few hours at a spa facility is no longer a luxury that's designated for holiday time as we are becoming aware of the benefits of spa therapies. Here are some of the top mental, physical and emotional advantages of becoming a frequent spa-goer.
Whether it's your skin or vital organs, spa therapies have a way of cleansing the body and the mind from within. In fact, most of us sign up for a spa holiday in order to detox the body and rid ourselves of the toxicity that has built up over time. Healing scrubs, cleansing programmes, and even facials can help detoxify various parts of our bodies while special spa diets at Ayurvedic spas are also known to detoxify harmful substances from the bloodstream with the aid of a plant-based and herb-infused diet.
Those suffering from high blood pressure will reap great benefits from a visit to the nearest spa as something as simple as a massage can trigger the sympathetic nervous system. This is the mechanism in our bodies that bring on a sense of calm and serenity while putting the body in a state of "rest and digest" and disables the stress-inducing parasympathetic nervous system, which raises blood pressure. Various spa remedies including hot water baths and soothing aromatherapy sessions can do wonders to lower blood pressure and make improvements in the overall circulatory system.
Spa treatments can also work miracles for those who have painful conditions including arthritis, muscle pain, joint pain, and back-related issues. Aches and pains large and small can be dispelled with an intense tissue massage that will increase blood flow into those areas where circulation has been stagnant for too long due to tension or injuries. Stopping by the Extra Hour Spa or any other massage spa in Dubai for a foot massage after a long day of work can do wonders to relieve pain and restore full range of motion in strained areas of the body.
As one of the main reasons that hardworking professionals often choose a spa holiday, stress relief is another benefit of indulging in spa therapies. Whether you are suffering from chronic stress and anxiety or battling a mental health condition brought on by a recent traumatic event, the deep relaxation that's a by-product of nearly every spa remedy on the face of the earth will do much to alleviate the symptoms. Spas are rare venues where every client is pampered and treated like royalty so even the simple fact that you are receiving focused attention and care can boost your mood and help everyday stressors melt away. Aromatherapy, facials, massage sessions, and hydrotherapy treatments can also allow one to reach an almost meditative state of being due to the inherently calming nature of these therapies.
Slimming body wraps and sculpting treatments can allow those struggling with weight issues to shed those extra pounds. Mineral baths and countless other remedies are available to those looking to address some of their weight issues.
