================== ARTICLE START ==================

The very thought of a spa is enough to give a tingling vibrance

to our tired body. In the fast-paced life with heavy loads of

work we hardly get the time to take care of our body. No

wonder, the advertising agencies cash on the word spa to sell

all kinds of products. In the midst of all these connotations

we may lose the real meaning of a spa. Literally, the word spa

refers to a health resort located near a water body like a

spring or at the seaside.

The word comes from a place called Spa in Belgium where there

are those historic springs. In the olden days the wounded Roman

soldiers would come to these mineral springs to bathe after war

in order to soothe their aching bodies and heal their injuries

with the warm water of the spring. Since then any natural or

manmade place that has medicinal spring is called a spa. In

eastern New England these mineral springs were also called soda

fountain.

However, according to another story the word spa is derived

from the Latin phrase 'sanitas per aqua,' or 'health through

water'. All this shows that spa is synonymous with water having

medicinal value. That is not to say that the spas that pop up in

every nook and corner of the city claiming to provide

therapeutic baths and massages have springs with medicinal

water.

Nevertheless, the idea behind modern spas is the same. They

include the resorts that provide hot tub or hydro massage

facilities to calm the body and the mind, irrespective of

whether or not it is located near the water body. Moreover,

spas include resorts that provide complete privacy to

people.

Spas are quite popular in countries like Germany, France and

Italy where people go to revitalize their bodies. Many times

they may not even bathe in the fresh water of a spring or sea,

but just drink it. Spas are known to cure all types of problems

like eczema, arthritis, liver problems and kidney stones. In

European countries even the insurance and health agencies are

ready to bear the expenses of this therapy. People don't mind

queuing up outside spas because they hope to get rid of their

illnesses. Many people have been successfully cured by this

therapy.

The modern spas are very different from the original springs of

medicinal water. They include the Jacuzzi, sauna, and

water-based mud packs in the spas. What has not changed is the

fundamental principle behind it - to obtain peace of mind and

good health.
