living it well; the role of natural health centres
A spa is a heart cheering facility where the primary interest is health. It's a centre for scientific relaxation, rejuvenation, health promotion, exercise and wellness of body, spirit and soul. Treatments offered include massages, skin treatments, diet, hydrotherapy and saunas. A spa experience offers one the time to relax, reflect, and revitalize to restore the body's natural balance and functional ability. A health farm is an environment where general health can be improved. Caught in a web of anxiety, stress as a result of pressure from work, fatigue, drinking, over consumption of stimulants as coffee, tea, cola drinks; smoking, insomnia, overweight, and addictions? A health farm may be your most effective relief. Modeled on the ten (10) pillars of healthcare;
• Regular and appropriate physical exercise
• Scientific relaxation and restful sleep
• Healthy diet
• Detoxification (including fasting)
• Management of stress and stress disorders
• Supplements
• Positive attitudes
• Spirituality
• Health through water (spa)
• Medical and dental health care
A health farm and spa provides the holistic health care for the entire wellness of every being.
Hydro therapy is the use of water as a curative agent of wellness. In Europe, the application of water in the treatment of fevers and other maladies had, since the seventeenth century, been consistently promoted by a number of medical writers. In the eighteenth century, taking to the waters became a fashionable pastime for the wealthy classes who decamped to resorts around Britain and Europe to cure the ills of over-consumption. It must be noted that disease (dis ease) is as a result of imbalance in the normal functioning of the body. Treatment in the heyday of the British spa consisted of sense and sociability: promenading, bathing, and the repetitive quaffing of foul-tasting mineral waters
Water cure practitioners ranged from qualified doctors to self-taught enthusiasts. For example, a famous water cure in Malvern, Worcestershire was begun in 1842 by Dr James Manby Gully using Malvern water. Famous patients of Gully included Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Thomas Carlyle, Florence Nightingale, Lord Tennyson and Samuel Wilberforce. One form of water therapy advocated by some alternative medicine proponents, is the consuming of a gutful of water upon waking in order to 'cleanse the bowel'. A litre to a litre and half is the common amount ingested. This water therapy, also known as Indian, Chinese, or Japanese Water Therapy, is claimed to have a wide range of health benefits; that which cannot be overstated or exaggerated. While living is impossible without water, it must be noted that it is possible to live longer with water.
Going to a spa is a way of getting taken care of that is psychologically and culturally acceptable and we can carry that feeling of being cared for with us for a period of time, very often that can help us cope better with stress," says NYU professor of psychiatry Virginia Sadock, MD. "Physical contact is necessary to our well-being, and even if the touching is from a stranger, if that stranger is a professional there to pamper you, that touch will have a beneficial effect," says Sadock. Studies show that these benefits can translate into better health. In one study of more than 3,300 Japanese government workers, frequency of spa use was linked to better physical and mental health, including better quality sleep and fewer sick days. In a similar study on German data conducted by researchers from Florida State University and George Mason University, spa therapy reduced work absenteeism and hospitalizations significantly.
