The Connection Between Spa Treatments and Nutritional Supplements

Understanding nutritional supplements may seem like a daunting task but in reality it doesn’t have to be an overwhelming experience. Nutritional supplements work very much like the topical agents used in spa treatments, cosmetics and skin care. For example topical use of vitamin C aids in collagen synthesis and acts as an antioxidant to help protect the skin from premature aging. Internally vitamin C works very much the same, it helps repair and renew connective tissue as well as protect the body from oxidation (the rusting effect of our bodies).  Recently even food products such as pomegranate and green tea have made a cross over from supplement form to skin care and cosmetic use. Internally pomegranate has shown to promote cellular regeneration, healthy heart function and support a healthy immune response, as well as help against oxidation. The latest research indicates that topical uses of pomegranate show a positive effect on protecting against skin disorders and promoting a healthy appearance. Imagine the possibilities of using a good skin care line with a quality nutritional supplement! Now that really does a body good.

Spa Treatments and Spa Nutrition^TM

It’s no secret that consumers have adjusted their way of thinking when it comes to the spa experience. The spa, once thought of a place only for the wealthy to be pampered, has now transformed to a popular place for holistic healing and wellness. Today, the spa offers number of therapeutic solutions for arthritis, inflammation, pain, skin disorders, stress, and fatigue with the use of ancient remedies and practices. These therapies often incorporate vitamins, minerals, plants, spices and herbs to provide healing and total rejuvenation.

Nutritional supplements have a very similar foundation. Physicians of old used natural medicine to help heal patient’s ailments. At the turn of the twentieth century however, the United States saw a shift in medical practices and began branding natural therapies and the spa as hogwash and old wives’ tales. The medical community replaced ancient remedies with modern pharmaceutical creations focused on treating a disease instead of preventing it.  Though with time and education even the most conservative minds have begun to see the health benefits of nutritional supplements.
