April is Spa Month: The Medical Spa Approach

 


Good Morning!

April is Spa Month: The Medical Spa Approach

April is Spa Month and it has fast become the latest invention in the spa industry introducing people to new and alternative treatments. 

The term "Medical Spa" is fast becoming the new spa incarnation. The spa industry has been moving into new realms of consciousness for the past decade. The goal of any spa is to introduce new and vibrant concepts, therapies and wellness features to their demanding, high profile clients, while staying ahead of the curve. It has become a fierce and competitive business. The current trend in spas can be seen reaching out to the newest billion dollar market, the alternative health industry. 

Although, alternative treatments lurked on the fringes of many spas for years, nowadays, hotstone massage, crystal facials, acupuncture and facial rejuvenation, anti-aging therapies and water therapies have become the norm. Also, the attention to proper body alignment and posture have also brought awareness to the spa patron. I have even seen many of these services now offered in nail and hair salons! The spa industry is integrating world modalities in healing and healthcare in order to keep up with customer's demands for living a cleaner, healthier, less toxic lifestyle, as well as, the one-stop shopping mentality. 


Combining Beauty with Nature


Ayurvedic Treatments

The principle medical system of India is known as Ayurveda and is over 5,000 years old. This "Science of Life" is considered the art of living in harmony with nature. In Ayurvedic philosophy, people, their health, and the universe are all thought to be related. It is believed that health problems can result when these relationships are out of balance. The goal of Ayurveda is to integrate and balance the body, mind, and spirit. This is believed to help prevent illness and promote wellness. Learn more about Ayurvedic trends. 

Crystal and Sea Shell Massage

Sea Shell Massage brings the magic of the sea to your massage table. This amazing massage therapy is a unique blend of styles acquired from Hawaii, Bali, Phuket and the Bahamas! Your clients will experience the beauty of a sea shell massage using a variety of fantastic hand picked shells.Discover the benefits of Sea Shell Massage. Another amazing trend is massage done with crystals. This assists in not only physical relaxation, but a metaphysical experience, as well. Get certified.


Unique Facials 

Facials are a staple in the spa industry. In the last year or so, the color therapy facials have become all the rage. Blending essential oils with Kaolin clay and natural color, these chromotherapy facial experiences, leave your client with a fresh face and happy disposition. Facials done with crystals and nature inspired treatments, bringing the spa business into a new era of wellness as well as beauty.


Energy Medicine 

The power of the intangible has taken hold. For centuries, energy medicine has been around and accepted in many cultures. From the Chakras of Tibetan and Indian cultures to the Meridians and Qi of Chinese and Japanese medical practices. Energy therapies are now a staple in the spa and wellness industries. The most cutting edge spas are incorporating Chakra balancing and Aura cleansing in their menu of services. Color therapy kits with bath oils and sea salts. 


[AlternativeAnswers] carcenoma

 

hi!

I am a longstanding member of the group,
on occasion I contribute, but now when in need, one needs outside help.


so here goes...

my mom was diagnosed today with carcinoma in the spine (biopsy), this one- the doctor claims started with breast cancer, and mastasized.
so we understand that it spread pretty badly, we do not yet know exactly how far or what stage cancer this is considered.
the doc wants to do a spet scan, and hormone therapy, and for the pain in the spine - local radiation.

at least for now...

please give me information about the above therepies - should we do them? what are the alternatives...


she wants to go alternative-that is my opinion too (or more precisely I don't want her -or anyone else -to be harmed by chemo etc) , but my brothers are pressuring for conventional.

I am the one standing in the way of letting the doctors do whatever they want and turning my mother into a statistic, so it is up to me to save her - if I can...

the doctors identified me as the one who knows too much, unfortunatly, I feel that I know too little.

she needs my support, and wants it, but if I don't come up with a clear direction + a doctor who will treat her, she will be swayed to allow conventional treatment because of the pain.
so as you see we both need direction.
I need to bring the family proven therapies, and be ready with studies and references so that it is effective...
that is why I am asking help from our group.

here is some additional info (in no particular order):
we live in israel- is there anyone around to treat her here?
age 78

stongwilled- used to being the leader, but now she is in a bad low - that is no surprise

has Parkinson
high blood pressure
no known diabetes
had a cataract operation
no mercury fillings (but all her teeth are implants, I don't know of what metal, could be chrome- I have no way of knowing)
she is in pain, the worst is back pain, but not only there.
she never had a mammogram.
she has no allergies, and as a rule bears pain well.
she is not capable of making food for herself, and I do not live near to help with the type of nutritional help she needs...
organic foods are (unfortunately) not currently an option.

I am taking her (hopefully) to acupuncture -for the pain -tomorrow.


from some the above I infer that there probably is some heavy metal toxicity at the root of the problem.

we need some treatment that is not complicated (or expensive), and will deal with the pain quite quickly. once we gain some confidence of the family we can do more..


thank you!
