While we all look forward to spa getaways for the rest and relaxation they offer, there are proven health benefits to this type of holiday experience. Here are 6 enticing reasons to sign up for a spa holiday!
While this may seem like a no-brainer, the stress and tension relief that a spa getaway can bring have been scientifically proven time and time again. Regardless of the duration of the spa retreat and the spa treatments you select, the fact that a spa holiday takes one away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life means that stress levels decrease naturally. The calming and serene atmosphere inside spas and healing centres also lends to relieving stress as it is a world away from the stressors of your work and home life. Whether you sign up for a simple facial or a full body massage, the mental health benefits are simply invaluable.
Uneven sleep patterns and insomnia are issues that most of us encounter daily if not during challenging periods of our lives but those who indulge in some spa time will see a marked improvement in the quality of their sleep. Therapeutic elements also contribute to this as there are various acupuncture treatments, Reiki, and foot reflexology techniques that can directly influence the quality of your sleep. Those struggling with sleep deficiency and other rest-related disorders will also find that their sleep cycles return to normal after a few days at a spa.
Other than stress relief, one of the other natural byproducts of spa treatments is that various toxins are expelled from the body, the skin and even the pores on one's face. Ayurvedic spa treatments and steaming therapies as those available at Araliya Beach Resort & Spa or any other Unawatuna spa facility are especially geared towards ridding the body of toxicity. Spa retreats also introduce detoxifying diets, cleansing beverages and exercise programmes that further help the body to rid itself of toxic build-up.
Holidaymakers who are suffering from chronic aches and pains in various parts of the body can also address these areas of concern during a spa vacation. Tension knots and injured parts of the body can also be healed and rehabilitated for greater mobility using athletic massages, physiotherapy treatments and acupuncture. A spa getaway can, therefore, improve the overall quality of your life if these aches and pains are treated or addressed.
Modern spa facilities offer spagoers an array of anti-ageing therapies that will not only help one look younger but also feel younger than their age. From using exfoliation methods to peels, facials and skincare routines, spa technicians can help clients cure acne, pigmentation and blocked pores to achieve a youthful appearance.
One of the main reasons why most of us feel physically unfit and experience chronic pain is due to poor blood circulation in the body. Engaging in sedentary lifestyles, the lack of exercise and movement can result in blood vessels not only becoming inflamed but failing to circulate enough oxygen to various areas of the body. Full-body massages and head and shoulder massages can improve overall blood circulation as well as increase the blood flow to certain areas.
