These minerals act on the
body in individual ways, healing skin conditions and
even assisting the body to burn fat. Thousands of cellular
reactions take place, so next time don’t rinse off straight
away, but allow the nutrients to spread throughout the
body. One litre of seaweed contains the same concentration
of elements found in 10 000 litres of seawater. So a
seaweed wrap at the Hydro is an excellent treatment.
Because osmosis occurs, balancing the
highest concentration to the lowest, a seaweed wrap
will infuse a tired person with the negatively charged
ions they are lacking. Seaweed possesses all of the
vitamins, nutrients, amino acids and trace elements
your body needs for healthy functioning at cellular
level. Seaweed treatments are recommended for those
who suffer from stress, chronic fatigue, cellulite,
dermatological conditions, and to maintain well being.
The eight medically recognised benefits
of sea water and seaweed therapy are rebalanced energy,
stress relief, restoration of skin firmness and suppleness,
slimming, increased circulation, increased flexibility
and pain reduction of joints, detoxification, and preparation
for and recuperation from physical activity. In fact,
it is so highly regarded in France for it’s medicinal
attributes that insurance companies cover treatment
costs!
Hydrotherapy refers to water related treatments,
such as the Hydro tub, steam room, steam box and Vichy
shower.
What makes water as a substance so conducive
to treating the body? Firstly, it takes more heat to
change the temperature of water than any other common
substance. In other words, water stores more energy
the any other substance. Water also submerges and envelopes
the body completely, immersing every inch of the skin,
the body’s largest and most sensitive organ.
The beneficial effects of hot steam on
the skin and lungs have been recognised since Antiquity.
The humidity of a steam bath results in the easy flow
of perspiration from the pores of the skin upon contact
with the steam, leaving the skin cleansed and soft.
You will also feel your joints starting to loosen and
become more supple.
The Hydro tub’s water jets provide an
extremely sensory massage. A jet of water massages the
surface of the skin. You will immediately feel how circulation
is stimulated in the tissue. One of the biggest advantages
is that it is such an enjoyable experience. Treating
yourself to any bath in an exotic location is an experience
on it’s own. |
