No, we do not mean its time for a Turkey Massage or an Eggnog Facial (but they also may be worth a try!), but rather to encourage you to take the time during your spa treatments this festive season to think a little more about what it is that you get out of your spa treatment. Yes, we know that your spa therapist is the “best that there is”, and you would “not go to any other spa” because she is so good, but is it all just about indulgence and pampering to your hearts desire, or are you just comfortable with the location, price and standard of service offered, without thinking anything more about it?
Many spa treatments promote detoxification and a greater level of wellness or well-being than many given them credit for. Well trained Spa Therapists who are intune with the human body and have a sound knowledge of anatomy and physiology should be able to deliver even greater health benefits to spa consumers. A Lymphatic Drainage therapy will obviuosly help remove excess fluids from the body, while a salt scrub will draw out toxins from the body, but even the most basic of massage therapies will start the detoxification process. Why is it that one of the first things given post treatment is a glass of water or sugarless herbal tea? Whether acknowledged or not, it is not just a ‘nice post treatment touch’ (thought it is also that!), but it has a practical application as well as it helps flush toxins from the body.
So this festive seasion, when spa cuisine tends to sit on the back burner for a couple of weeks, be kind to your body and choose spa treatments that perhaps offer a great level of detoxification than you would normally take to at least try and counter some of the festive season excesses.
