Therapies for holistic healing

The daily grind of city life takes its toll on all of us. They say the mirror never lies and this is especially true when it comes to people living in a busy metro. From late nights and overnighters at the office to late night parties and living it up on weekends, every action results in a visible reaction.
Meals eaten partially while rushing off to work, or hurried snacking on the run means insufficient nutrition, which again shows up in your health and fitness levels over a period of time.
Travelling during peak hours, results in dust and grime accumulating on your body. Commuting like this, month after month, with vehicle fumes bombarding you at every traffic jam is definitely not a recipe for good health.
Drinking less water to sit through lengthy meetings and avoid frequent visits to the loo is also an unhealthy, yet often unavoidable habit that reflects upon people's mental and physical well being.
Popping pills to pull on somehow, most of us end up in a state of collapse by the weekend and even before the body and mind have time to recover, its Monday morning already. The only way to break this vicious circle is to go in for a rejuvenating treatment, which will help you to recharge both mentally and physically. One such solution, which has been proven to have beneficial effects are spa treatments.
The beneficiary effect of the spa has been discovered thousands of years ago and the spa industry has evolved a lot as well. The Europe Mountains website points out that being the basis of the spa concept, hydrotherapy creates both relaxing and healthy experience through its three main ingredients: heat, massage and buoyancy.
The warm water has the ability to dilate the blood vessels and thus to increase blood flow to damaged or sore tissues and stimulate the recovery process by allowing oxygen and various nutrients to the body.
Soaking in a hot spa will also carry away the lactic acid that is built up in muscles during exercises and remove the stiffness after a heavy physical activity. Thus, warm spa has found its application for rehabilitative therapies and is being recommended by many physicians and physiotherapists.
Hot water therapies relieve number of diseases, among which are diabetics and arthritis. Some studies have revealed that by regular soaking in a hot spa diabetics' sufferers may reduce their blood sugar levels and improve their sleeping pattern.
Those that suffer from arthritis can also take advantage of the hydrotherapy, which has its positive effects if applied regularly: restoring flexibility of the joints and keeping them moving, as well as preventing further damage. Therefore people with such ailments will be able to reduce the pain and discomfort while performing certain physical activity.
Hot spa has also important non-physical benefits on the person by revitalizing one's mind and spirit. The buoyancy in warm water will slow down your pulse and the massaging jets will stimulate your blood circulation, thus giving you energy and making your muscles and skin relaxed.
It is proved that by regular use of the spa you can lose weight and reduce cellulite. This would be a very pleasant substitute for the exhausting work-out in the gym, since you can simply relax and tone the body tissues. Moreover, those that have problems with sleeping can find the resolution by soaking in a warm spa and thus relieving stress before going to bed.
Almost every person suffers from stress in their everyday life, which causes the heart work harder and the digestion slow down. Stress has a negative effect on the processes in the body and, according to different studies, 80% of diseases are stress related. Besides hydrotherapy, you can enjoy a massage in the spa and stimulate the release of endorphins.
This way you will remove the accumulated stress, feel better and ready for the new challenges of life. You can feel the benefits of the spa services during all seasons.
