You know you want to try something different, but how do you know if this treatment is right for your needs? The best place to start is by being informed as to what the terms mean. From Lomi-Lomi (a gently soothing Polynesian massage), to Rassoul (a detoxifying Moroccan mud therapy), from age-defying oxygen facials to the new breed of eco-spas( which honor the environment and educate guests), the electronic Spapedia will help you be prepared in this ancient, but ever expanding universe. More indigenous ingredients are utilized today and cultural traditions may be unfamiliar yet welcoming. Spas are elemental expressions of human healing and every civilization has a unique contribution to this great pursuit.
