SPA

 Today, feeling well is not a whim but a vital necessity. However, to this effect, for some people just a course of prophylactic cosmetology would be sufficient, while other people would need additional procedures and diets, and still others would require a serious medication. But the main thing is to correctly choose the right SPA version.

What is SPA?

There are three version of the word “SPA” origin:

• Geographical version: SPA is a small town in the Belgian Ardennes, where a mineral spring jets, returning strengths and youth to everyone who needs these.
• Linguistic version: SPA is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase “sanitas pro aqua” (“heath through water”, if to say this in Russian.
• Fantastic version: it is Peter I who is to be blamed for all. They say that when traveling throughout the Europe he tasted the purest mineral water served to him in a jar. “Spasibo” (“Thanks”) - said Tsar politely in Russian. The word became to be liked. Since then this spring that pleased the Russian Tsar started to be named “Spasibo”. With the time, “sibo” has been lost somewhere and “spa” remained. Make us be quiet!

 As a matter of fact, the simplest SPA-procedures are known to our grannies: they are performed even at polyclinics. These are Charcot’s douche, circular douche and hydromassage bath. Although they use non-thermal ordinary water, you will feel its salutary effect even after the very first procedure. However, people had started giving credits to SPA-procedures and treatment very long ago. Cleopatra had been far from being the first in this matter. In the ancient Roma people had gotten rid of their maladies by bathing in thermal sources and taking baths with thermal water. Simply, what has been earlier just for the selected is now available for many.

The notion SPA is literally interpreted as “health through water”. SPA is a complex of procedures aimed at improving a human physical and spiritual state. SPA exerts effect on the human organism as a whole.
