Physical and Emotional Wellbeing

Booking a Spa Day with friends will yield not only the positive emotional effects of spending time together but has additional physical health benefits, leaving you rejuvenated and ready to step back into your routine with renewed energy and vigor.

Did you know, for example, that there are scientific studies showing that regular massage can reduce inflammation and improve muscle tone? Other studies demonstrate that massage can help with cardiovascular health and improve the immune system.

Essential oils, present in most beauty treatments, are designed to calm and soothe your mind. However, a study from the European Society of Cardiologists found that the scent from essential oils also benefits the health of the heart, reducing blood pressure and heart rate.

Happy-ness Boost

Body treatments can increase Serotonin levels. This handy little hormone transmits messages between nerve cells, smoothing muscles and contributing to wellbeing, happiness and the ‘feel good’ factor.

Time to Glow

The positive effects of a gentle facial scrub and exfoliation are well known, promoting cellular regeneration and making skin feel smoother and softer. However, facials not only keeps your skin glowing, but it can also yield benefits in other areas. There are 300 pressure points on the face that relate to every part of the body, which can muscle and the lymphatic system. A good facial massage can have a positive effect on the functioning of every area of your body, making your face glow and generally leaving you feeling less tired and sluggish.

Benefits of Steam and Sauna

Saunas and steam rooms are great places to sit back and relax, but there are many health benefits of heat and steam, including the improvement of circulation throughout the body – again adding to that healthy glow. Heat and steam can also relieve tension, clear skin impurities, and help minimize joint pain. If you are suffering with a cold or blocked sinuses, the heat from saunas and steam rooms thins the mucus membranes making breathing noticeably easier.
