Rejuvenating body treatment at Bali's spas
DENPASAR, Bali (JP): After a long and exciting holiday in
Bali, you need to soothe your body, soul and spirit.
The Island of the Gods is home to dozens of spas and beauty
salons which are ready to rejuvenate your body and mind.
There are some excellent places to go in Bali if you want to
experience exotic body treatments using traditional herbs or a
mix of natural and imported therapies.
The original meaning of spa is spring water containing
minerals or a site where people go to enjoy the healing
properties of the water. The spa, which also means sante par aqua
(treatment with liquid) has a long history. In ancient times,
people would bathe in sulfuric waters, believed to be beneficial
to the skin and the general health.
If you want to try thalassotheraphy, try the various body and
skin treatments of Thalasso Bali at Tanjung Beno, Nusa Dua.
The definition of thalassotheraphy is the use of seawater for
curative and preventive means in a marine environment and under
medical supervision.
This means that in order for a true thalassotheraphy center to
exist, it must be no more than 800 meters from the shoreline and
constantly pumping in fresh seawater, filtered through large
canals. The effects of seawater treat affliction such as blood
disorders, arthritis, eating disorders, smoking, weight loss and
stress management.
You are probably wondering: how? If you compare our own blood
plasma to seawater's composition, it is almost identical. By
warming seawater to body temperature, all the trace elements of
seawater pass through your skin and into your bloodstream,
bringing all the sea's vital elements to literally every organ.
Thalasso care includes:
Seaweed Deluxe Hydro-Bath. Treatment using a deluxe Niagara
seawater hydrobath, with 180 jets in combination with seaweed to
rebalance body metabolism, blood circulation, moisturize skin,
general detoxification and total body relaxation.
Seaweed Deluxe Application. This treatment starts with body
exfoliation to remove dead surface and dry skin cells. This
balancing, rejuvenating and detoxifying treatment is followed by
a seaweed body mask and slimming blanket wrap. For men, this
treatment will enhance blood circulation to vital parts of the
body.
Hand Scrub and Seaweed Massage. This will restore hand muscles
and condition the skin with a hand and arm scrub combined with a
heated seaweed message.
