What does "Spa" mean?
You mean "spa"

According to textual research, there is a legend about the origin of SPA: in Belgium, there was a famous town "SPA" during the Roman Empire. There is a hot spring in the town. Because the spring water is rich in minerals and aromatic essential oils, people will become particularly comfortable when bathing in the water, their skin will become white and smooth, their figure will become symmetrical and plump, and many diseases can be eliminated. Washing your face with spring water can eliminate spots and increase skin elasticity. For a time, the town became the "hometown of angels", and many people came here from thousands of miles. Even Peter the Great brought his queen and princesses here to bathe, cure diseases and beautify. For a long time, people have called this SPA environment and method "SPA".

Today, the concept of SPA is becoming more and more abundant, and it has become a beauty method with health and beauty effects, which integrates aromatherapy, essential oil, bathing, massage, daily skin care, scented tea and music. But it is still inseparable from "water". SPA is the most common form of SPA. Spa is an essential water resource and water equipment, such as barrel bath, wet steaming, dry steaming, shower and hydraulic massage bath.

However, there are many misunderstandings about SPA:

Myth 1: Spa is a petal bath.

Bathing is just one of the forms or processes of SPA. With this view, when you go to a beauty salon to do a SPA, you may feel that doing such a "bath" is expensive, troublesome and time-consuming. So the SPA you do may only achieve the shallowest skin cleaning effect.

Myth 2: doing SPA is too boring, chatting on mobile phone.

Some people say that if Li Bai lived in modern times and wore a mobile phone around his waist, he probably wouldn't have become a "poet saint", because he might have just got a little inspiration to write poetry and was bored to death by all kinds of cell phone ringtones. What else can he talk about and write poetry? The same is true of doing SPA. With the mobile phone, all kinds of secular troubles in the process of SPA may detonate at any time, and you can't really enjoy the SPA.

Myth 3: One kind of SPA is suitable for everyone.

People's physique, personality and temperament vary widely, and different people can't have exactly the same requirements for SPA. To do SPA, we also need "specific problems, specific analysis". For example, impetuous, active and competitive people will add fuel to the fire when they go to the incentive SPA, while those who are not enterprising and easy to get tired will only be more tired when they go to the SPA to purify their body and mind.

Myth D: You can only go to the beauty salon to experience the SPA.

At present, spas can be divided into six categories:

1, the resort SPA is mainly for vacation and recuperation, with a combination of scenery and hot springs, and is generally located in a scenic hot spring resort;

2. The destination SPA is mainly used to treat chronic diseases, and it is called "prescription therapy" in Japan, that is, over-the-counter therapy, and it is also mostly opened in sanatoriums;

3. Clubhouse SPA focuses on fitness and weight loss, mostly in cities;

4. Hotel SPA for relaxation and vacation in the hotel;

5. Convenient physical and mental rehabilitation services provided by the day SPA beauty center or SPA spa center, and customers can enjoy professional spa services;

6. Home SPA: Go to the spa shop to buy the needed home spa supplies, and use DIY for spa treatment at home after work or holidays. Related: family spa-a journey of physical and mental love

How to enjoy SPA

Know yourself and prescribe the right medicine.

Don't rush to change clothes and take a shower before you do the SPA. Take a few minutes to do a survey, and understand your physical condition and temperament according to the analysis of the survey report. Then start from yourself and choose the SPA that suits you according to your own reality.

Relax and get rid of distractions.

You can think of SPA as: enjoy a romantic and comfortable travel holiday; Read a meaningful and fresh book; Listen to a quiet music. The premise of enjoying all this is to be quiet, let go of everything and not think about any worldly trifles.

Mobilize the five senses and devote yourself wholeheartedly

As lingering as the running water in the south of the Yangtze River in March, quiet music, soft light, aromatic plant essential oil and even hot stones can all be used in the SPA. Therefore, to enjoy the SPA, we need to fully mobilize the five senses, and achieve a kind of physical, mental and spiritual comfort through the five sensory functions of the human body: sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch.
