Time At A Spa Hotel Devon

By Kelly Wood


Visiting a spa hotel Devon is a must for those that are run down and feeling energy less. It is a must for a time of respite as you lay back and get pampered by some of the best therapists in the business. We as people often underestimate the value that spas such as these offer their clients. Our bodies have been likened to, as wise sages say, like battering rams because of the amount of knocks and bangs that beset the physical body on a daily basis.

Promoting a clear mind is what it is all about and this is only possible when our muscles are in a state of relaxation. At best we go through the day without taking cognizance of the state that our bodies are in. Bodies become so stressed that we are in a sense unable to feel them and it feels that we are living beings that are living out of life rather than living in bodies that are so to speak, in life.

We are not even aware that we are exposing ourselves to these pollutants and breath toxins in the air twenty four hours a day. This leads to conditions such as sinusitis and hay fever and can exacerbate themselves into migraines and severe headaches. Muscles at the back of the neck become taught and around the cranium.

A way to check whether this is the case is to gently feel the muscles at the back of the neck and where the lower jaw bone meets the upper jaw bone just below the ears. This is a sure way to test for stress and is a tell tale sign that you are under extreme stresses. We become unaware of this whilst going about our daily activities and when reading material such as this it is time to do a self test for stress.

Apart from this Lavender is a great oil to get rid of free radicals. These essentially are sick cells that do not act in the way healthy cells do. In fact these sick cells turn on healthy cells with the aim of destroying them. We develop these cells from poor diet and pollutants that are air borne in the air we breath.

When therapists such as these treat the body to luxurious and comforting massage treatment they make use of essential oils that have innate healing qualities. Oils such as Rose, Lavender, Eucalyptus and others such as ginger bring about a holistic treatment and treat the physical body on both a physical level as well as an emotional one. It is therefore important to discuss with your therapists which oils will be most beneficial to you.

At best most of us do not treat the skin as it should. When having a massage these oils clean the skin deliberately and allow them to breath. This enhances the metabolic processes that the skin carries out on a daily basis. As massage strokes caress the body, oils are absorbed by the skin and enter the blood stream where they go to work.

For example low toned oils will bring about a calming effect. At the same time spa hotel Devon therapists are well aware which oils to use on any given patient and in accordance with the type of ailment they are treating. For example, should you have sinusitis oils such as Eucalyptus will be used both to reduce the clogging of nasal and respiratory passages but to cleanse the body of this type of virus.
