A Guide to 5 Wellness and spa Treatments

If you are in need of some well deserved relaxation and wellness time then there are a number of treatments you might want to consider. Below a look at 10 treatments which are certainly worth considering.

1. Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is something that uses one of five senses - smell. The human nose can detect more than thousands of different aromas and Aromatherapy plays on this human ability. With aromatherapy the consultant normally (according to what kind of wellness help you want) will create mix of certain oils. If you want to de-stress the mix of oils will for example be different to if you want to relax due to fatigue. The aromas in other words are designed according to your needs and then the masseur provides a massage using these oils. This is a nice combination of aroma and massage (a combination similar to chocolate massage).

2. Indian Head Massage

This style of head massage on the other hand is a very different type of relaxation but one which can still be very effective. Indian Head massage specifically uses essential oils as part of the massage and the massage also aims to help ones shoulders, neck and head. This is almost a meditative form of head massage and the masseur uses his/her fingers and hand in a certain way. After an Indian Head Massage you will likely feel very good.

3. Reflexology

Reflexology is also well worth trying and offers a great chance to unwind. Reflexology also sometimes goes by the name of 'Zone Therapy' and this treatment involves a masseur massaging the feet but in a way that he/she works on different areas on the feet and works on pressure points. This type of massage can be done on the hands also but is normally and more ocmmonly done with feet.

4. Aroma Baths

This is another way to unwind with very little effort. An aroma bath in a spa or wellness centre normally involves a large bath with jacuzzi style bubbling water. The water will have had a number of herbs and oils.

5. Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage is becoming very popular these days and it is certainly a fun type of massage and worth trying. This style of massage involves using basaltic stones which are hot (i.e. sixty to seventy degrees) and these stones are placed on the body during the massage.
