The most popular spa treatment in the United States, by far, is massage. It has been around for thousands of years and has a number of health benefits. Other popular spa treatments include facials and body treatments like salt glows and body wraps. Most spas have a nail salon offering spa manicures and spa pedicures.
Stress is very real. For many, the pressure to do it all - - and do it well - - is taking its toll. Simple changes can be key to managing stress, researches report.
One of those changes is regular visits to your favorite Elk Grove or Sacrament spa. Physical touch is often taken for granted, but scientists are finding it plays a vital role in healing.
Spa Treatments
Aromatherapy Massage
Uses essential oils to achieve different purposes, most commonly relaxation. Sometimes the oils are created by companies to achieve different effects, and the therapist asks you to smell a few different oils to find out which one most appeals to you.
Hot Stone Massage
Uses smooth, rounded basalt stones that have been heated in water and retains their heat well. The heat helps warm up your muscles and is very relaxing. The therapist uses the stones as an extension of her hand and may also place them on your belly, hands or back.
Body Scrub & Wrap
The basic body scrub exfoliates your outermost, dead skin cells with a salt scrub (rougher), a sugar scrub (gentler), or some other exfoliant, like coffee grounds or fruit enzymes that gently loosen the inter-cellular bonds. Once you've been exfoliated and have showered off the salt or sugar, you get back up on the table and lay down so the cream, clay, mud, or seaweed can be applied. Then you're wrapped up and kept warm for about 20 minutes, hopefully getting a head massage at the same time.
