Lifestyle has a direct impact on the overall quality of our lives. Therapeutic
baths or spas have a long history of enhancing our lifestyle and benefiting
both our health and mental attitude. Indeed it has long been thought that
water has healing properties.
Archeologists say that natural mineral water has been used to treat disease for over 5,000 years. The Greeks and Romans used bathing in therapy, but it was the Romans who recognized the value of natural hot springs. Today, the value of hot baths is evidenced by the booming spa industry.
Therapy baths are still recommended, including hot baths for pain relief and sleep, kinetotherapeutic baths for muscle damage resulting from conditions such as polio (viral disease chiefly affecting children that can result in muscular atrophy), medicated baths to relieve inflammation, alkaline baths to treat arthritis and cold baths for fever.
Mineral baths helps to reduce stress which impacts every aspect of our daily lives. Stressors can include physical, environmental (pollution, severe weather and trauma), physiological (nutritional imbalance, gender, age, pain, lack of sleep and chronic infections) and mental factors (emotional strain, anxiety and depression).
When the body is stressed it acts as though it were under attack. Physiological changes, including increased heartbeat, blood pressure, blood glucose and secretion of adrenaline, and sweating, may occur. It's believed that stress contributes to heart disease, digestive disorders, mental disorders, cancers and metabolic disease (Selye, 1978).
