winter

Winter is coming quickly whether you like it or not. You have been wishing for it since mid- July, but now that the reality of Winter is around the corner. Winters are beautiful, but they bring along severe and prolonged health issues such as chronic colds, sore throats, asthma, dry skin etc. Often it becomes very challenging to combat these issues and maintain good health during winter season.

Taking time out to relax in the serenity of The Spa can increase your oxytocin levels and help to ward off the ‘winter blues’. Exfoliating treatment at the spa will not only renew your skin but will also help your skin to produce natural moisture. Massage therapy is proven to stabilize the collagen in your skin and also helps maintain your skin’s elasticity.

Beat the winter blues

Studies have shown that massage reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol and it can help to slow your heart rate and bring your blood pressure down. Even breathing calmly for 5 minutes while you are in the Steam room, steam can bring stress relief. Spa treatments can help ease the pain of arthritis and other conditions during the colder weather.

Regular massage therapy treatments help boost the immune system. When your immune system is stronger, your body is more prepared to defend itself against those cold and flu viruses going around your workplace, school or even your home during the winter months.. So keep yourself healthy during the long winter months by scheduling regular massage appointments.
