The origin of the word SPA
In the discussion on the origin of the word SPA, there is a word that runs through it, that is "hydrotherapy", which reflects the important role of water in the ancient treatment field and early European SPA culture. Most people think that the word SPA is the original combination of some Latin phrases, such as "sanitas per aquam", "solus per aquam" and "sanus per aquam". These phrases all mean "treat with water". Another way of saying this is that hot springs originated from the graffiti "salut per aquam" in Roman bathrooms.
SPA may also come from the Walloon word "espa", which means fountain, or from the Latin word "spagere", which means splashing water. Some experts believe that the word originated from a small town in Belgium called Spa, which is famous for its hot springs. Later, the word spa was used to refer to hot springs and health resorts that provide spas. In 19 and the 20th century, drinking mineral water or bathing with mineral water became a fashionable leisure way.
SPA is a soothing and decompression method composed of professional beauty therapists, water, light, aromatic essential oil, music and other elements, which can help people achieve body, mind and spirit bodybuilding effects.

The role of SPA
1 can beautify the body. In order to keep healthy and keep a good figure, many factors must be considered, such as adopting a low-calorie diet, exercising, stimulating blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, and relaxing tense muscles, which are all part of hydrotherapy. In addition, water therapy combined with marine therapy of Shanghai algae can also absorb various minerals and rare trace elements through the skin and restore intracellular balance; Through the infiltration and stimulation of lymphatic circulation, toxins are eliminated, which has the effect of sustained recovery of physical fitness.
2, can withstand pressure. The natural balance of human body is always threatened by external pressure factors. In order to cope with it, a series of neurohormones will be released automatically in the human body, which is called adaptation syndrome. The pressure-resistant design of the spa can relieve the pressure.
3, you can lose weight. Eating a low-calorie diet, exercising and changing attitude are the fundamental ways to lose weight. Hydrotherapy helps to relax the body's fluids, and the total amount of water flowing in the body increases by about 30%, which can reduce the fat cell clusters in human tissues or between tissues. Spa can also accelerate the metabolism of fat and sugar in the body. Hydromassage combined with seaweed is very effective for weight loss.
4, can accelerate metabolism. Under the action of hydrotherapy, the metabolic process is strengthened, especially during low temperature hydrotherapy. Low temperature hydrotherapy mainly acts on fat metabolism and improves gas metabolism. When it is overheated or supercooled, it can also increase the metabolism of nitrogen and protein, but it can be restored after the action stops.
5, can promote perspiration. Under the action of heat, the secretion of sweat glands is enhanced, a large amount of sweat is discharged, so that blood is concentrated, water in tissues enters blood vessels, exudates are absorbed, and many harmful metabolites and toxins are discharged with sweat. However, a lot of sweating will lead to a large loss of sodium chloride, making the body feel weak. Therefore, patients should pay attention to sweating during hydrotherapy, because under the action of heat, sometimes the sweat secretion can reach 1-2 liters or more.
