Watsu Treatment - Six Senses Destination Spa

What is it?
Technically described as a shiatsu in water but that doesn't do it justice! Your body is cradled in water in different positions by a specially trained therapist using techniques to release tension and unblock meridien channels.
What does it do for me?
Stress reduction benefits are huge and you can reach a state of deep mental relaxation but allow yourself to let go and trust the therapist - they know what they are doing!
Where do I get it?
We had one of the best Watsu treatments at the fantastic Six Senses Destination Spa, not only because of the skill of the therapist (they are highly trained) but the stunning watsu pool area. A highly nurturing treatment in a highly nurturing environment!

Mineral Water Drinking Cure - Nove Lazne Health Resort

What is it?
Natural mineral springs with medicinal waters that are used for drinking "cures".  Depending on the mineral composition of the water, they can be used for a variety of health issues - from kidney and urinary tract conditions to digestive disorders..  An acquired taste but worth it!
What does it do for me?
You don't need a health condition to benefit.  The high mineral content is great for your health and for cleansing the system. You will feel rejuvenated!
Where do I get it?
The Nove Lazne located in the historical spa town of Marianske Lazne, one of Europe's best sources of natural mineral springs.  Highly trained doctors will help prescribe the right "cures" for you. Coupled with rejuvenating treatments this is a lovely traditional spa destination.

Floating Meditation - Spa Village Resort Tembok Bali

What is it?
Floating on a giant mattress in an infinity pool, listening to an MP3 player loaded with ultra meditative music whilst gazing at a star lit sky.  A deeply relaxing treatment on a "real" waterbed.
What does it do for me?
Your heart rate will slow down, your breathing will become slower, deeper and more regular while your whole body begins to unwind. The music coaxes your brain into a synchronised state of consciousness which can expand and enhance memory and learning capabilities.
Where do I get it?
At the intimate destination spa of Tembok Bali.  This gem of a retreat is dedicated to  wellness by embracing the local healing traditions of Balinese culture and passing them on to their guests.

Thermal Waters & Fango Treatments at Regina Isabella

What is it?
Waters, enriched with salts and vital minerals that flow from the core of the earth.  Mix these waters with mud or clay and you get fangotherapy, otherwise known as mud therapy.
What does it do for me?
The thermal waters are great for easing tight muscles and helping you sleep deeply.  Fangotherapy is detoxifying and nourishing at the same time.  Your skin will absorb the minerals and leave it glowing.

Where do I get it?
At the Regina Isabella in Ischia, a spa hotel that oozes with glamourous Italian style. The spa uses its natural resources in combination with holistic treatments. They even produce their own skincare range that include ingredients from the thermal waters and mud.

Natural Hot Mineral Springs at Evason Ma'In

What is it?
Mineral springs are formed when rain falls and is absorbed by porous rocks picking up elements as it descends below the ground before bubbling back up as a hot spring.
What does it do for me?
It's what's in the spring wates that makes the special.  Hydrogen Sulphide gas helps blood circulation and the nervous system.  Iron helps the digestions and calcium and sulphate benefit joints. A cocktail of ulimate wellbeing properties!
Where do I get it?
At the lovely Six Senses spa in Jordan.  The hot mineral spring comes out of the mountain side and cascades down to form a bathing pool.  The Dead Sea is close by for added therapeutic benefits. Holistic treatments compliment the hugely relaxing experience.
