5 Lesser-Known Benefits of SPA

Many people link SPA treatments with reduced stress levels and smooth skin, but just a few know that there is a lot more to it. From increased amount of happiness hormones to improved sleep quality – we give you some new reasons to reward yourself with a SPA vacation abroad.

 

1. Anti-Ageing

 

Facials hydrate the skin and stimulate blood circulation. They help prevent the onset of wrinkles by providing skin cells with more oxygen and vitamins. Creams, lotions and masks add nutrients that help your skin remain healthy and soft.

 

On top of that, the pleasant ritual helps relax and forget all the worries that are often reflected by the condition of our skin.

 

2. Better Sleep

 

SPA treatments can help people who struggle with sleep problems. Massages, water procedures and saunas relax your muscles and lower blood pressure, resulting in deeper sleep with less waking up throughout the night.

 

3. Pain Relief

 

Sitting for long hours causes aches because of the blood flow issues. Lots of exercising, on the other hand, results in muscle pain as tissues start lacking oxygen. No matter what is its source, muscle pain can be relieved by massages, water procedures and bathhouse rituals, which relax the muscles, expand blood vessels and improve blood circulation.

 

4. Mental Health

 

In addition to all the physical benefits, a visit to a SPA can help you feel more happy. Massages are proven to release serotonin, a hormone known to cause the feeling of happiness, and, therefore, they significantly help to improve one’s mood. Even better, the positive effect of a massage doesn’t stop right away. The boost of positive emotions lasts for the following days.

 

5. Bonding with loved ones

 

A SPA vacation is a great opportunity to take care of your significant other, friend or family member’s health and, at the same time, to have a good time together.

 

If going alone, a SPA getaway is a good place to make new connections. Everyone is usually relaxed and willing to engage in a warm conversation with people around.

 

Health Tourism Lithuania offers different SPA treatment options in several resorts of Lithuania. Birštonas and Druskininkai are known for mineral water and natural mud treatments, Anykščiai is a romantic forest getaway and Palanga is located on the beautiful shores of the Baltic Sea.

 

Lithuania is also known for its medical SPAs that are a great way to recover after a surgery. In fact, many foreign medical tourists choose one of the SPA towns following their medical procedures in Kaunas or Vilnius.

 

We at Health Tourism Lithuania provide with all the necessary arrangements for a SPA weekend or for a medical SPA stay.
