What are the spa procedures

The healing and healing properties of water have been known since ancient times. This is the useful information decided to take into account the modern SPA-salons. In this article, let's talk about what are the SPA-procedures offered in specialized institutions.

Hydrotherapy

No spa salon can do without hydrotherapy. These procedures are aimed at correcting the figure, reducing weight, preventing diseases of the musculoskeletal system and relaxing. It includes such SPA procedures as:

- Hydromassage . This is an underwater massage in a special bath.

- A tropical shower . It is a system of showers, whose tiny splashes carefully envelop the skin. They seem to create a peculiar cocoon of water, mixed with concentrated decoctions of essential oils and herbs.

- Pearl bath . Do not think that the last add pearls. It is called so because in the water with the help of a special system air bubbles are formed, which poured like pearls. Water jets, mixing with air bubbles, massage the body immersed in water. To enhance the effect of hydroprocedures, mineral salt, algae extract, herb infusion or aromatic oil are added to the water.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a SPA-procedure that takes place with the use of essential oils. It is so good for the body that it was used together with massage, wrapping, and various types of hydrotherapy. Separately, I would like to say about thermo-aromatherapy. It is in the joint action of heat and essential oils. Heat is an indispensable factor in the treatment of a variety of diseases. It helps to increase skin elasticity, accelerate metabolism, relieve stress, detoxify. Experts to solve each of the above problems select an individual mixture of aromatic oils that work most effectively in combination with thermal masks, paraffin wraps, the heat of a sauna or a bath.

Reflexology

These SPA procedures with a pronounced curative effect on the body came to us from the East. Even ancient healers knew that by applying acupressure to certain areas of our body, it is possible to stimulate the activation of vital forces of the corresponding internal organs. The procedure for obtaining a positive result must be visited at least 8 - 10 times. In different SPA-salons, various instruments are used to conduct a reflexotherapy session. It can be both sensitive hands of a reflexologist, and wood sticks, needles, electric stimulating devices and low intensity lasers. This method helps with obesity, metabolic disorders, headaches. It is used to rejuvenate the skin, improve the structure of the hair and so on. Reflexotherapy can be used not only with existing diseases, but also for prevention.

Massage

Massage can be attributed to the classics of anti-stress therapy. Probably, therefore practically all SPA salons actively offer it. And in a variety of forms and combinations. We draw your attention to the aroma massage. This is an unusually pleasant procedure. Exquisite aromas of essential oils in combination with relaxing music give an amazing feeling of complete harmony. Another ancient healing art is stone massage with hot stones. The specific energy of the stones not only neutralizes our negative energy, but redistributes the positive energy throughout the body. Hot stones enhance the effect of the effects of essential oils, which are used in the massage. Full relaxation at the time of the procedure allows you to increase metabolism, activate the immune, endocrine and autonomic systems. In the fight against cellulite, SPA-salons specialists use honey and bamboo sticks for massage. Both of these elements allow the skin to become more elastic and silky. Massage of any direction and duration, heals, cleanses and rejuvenates the body.

Thalassotherapy

Thalassotherapy is a complex of SPA procedures based on the effects of sea water, algae, mud and other seafood on our body. Included In sea water are the remaining elements of calcium sulfate and sodium, potassium and magnesium. When used in such procedures as applications and cosmetic masks, baths with immersion, wraps with seaweed, a shower with sea water - these minerals are absorbed through the smallest pores of the skin. In a standard set of spa treatments thalassotherapy is also a warm bath with sea water and seaweed, hydromassage and wraps. A large number of minerals also contains sea mud. Mud bath is an intensive procedure. In the first ten minutes you "float" in warm mud. Then you wash off the mud and take a mineral bath and pass the steam treatment. At the final stage of the procedure, you are wrapped in a veil with seaweed, and you slowly cool down. The body returns to normal temperature. All of the above procedures have a stimulating, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-stress effects.
