When you say spa, what do you mean?

Could it be that this clear liquid, which seems trivial to us, but we have no life without it … has a tremendous ability to improve our health and relieve a wide range of pains and diseases?
Who among us does not like to go on vacation and indulge in a spa … but a spa is not just a treat and a sip of herbal tea when we are wrapped in a white towel robe …
The true meaning of spa is much deeper.

SPA – SALUS PER AQUAM

The word originates from Latin and means healing through water .
Healing (salus) using (per) water (aquam).
The knowledge of using water for health and healing is a very ancient knowledge.
The Romans, for example, had a very deep understanding of the subject and actually devoted a lot of resources to the subject of the baths throughout the empire they established.
They built a whole world around the baths and also allowed the general public, not just the rich, to come and enjoy a dip in the hot or cold water.
The large baths included indoor and outdoor pools, baths, hot and cold pools, sweat rooms and sports halls.
Some of the water flowed to the baths straight from natural hot springs and some of the water was heated in a complex system of stoves.
At one point in the Roman Empire, the people spent most of their free time in baths.
The baths encouraged the people to engage in sports, maintain hygiene, consume culture and nurture the body, with the leading motto being “a healthy mind in a healthy body”.
By the way, I recently met a historian who told me that the whole culture of the bathhouses that developed in the East, is in fact a remnant of the Roman influence that was in the area.

The Romans realized that there are many types of healing springs in nature and that each of them has its own unique qualities.
In general, in many ancient cultures around the world, natural springs of water were considered medicinal sites and some were also attributed as sacred.
In fact, there are many types of water in nature and each type has a different compound.
Mineral water is extracted in nature, usually from underground springs, and they contain minerals and other naturally dissolved substances, such as salt, sulfur and gases.
This composition gives water a therapeutic value.
Minerals that can usually be found in mineral water are: iron, calcium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and more and more …
Around this knowledge a whole therapeutic field developed around staying in a bath with water.
So we realized that there is a big difference between staying in a bath with regular tap water and staying in a bath with different types of mineral water.

Immersion in mineral water helps with a variety of problems, such as: fibromyalgia, arthritis, various skin problems and more … but it is important to understand that immersion in mineral water brings healing to those who need it. It’s just like a medicine.
I, personally, came out with nausea from the dip in the hot springs I visited in Tuscany … (although it was photographed superbly) probably because my body did not need the specific charge of the water there.

Just as the type of mineral water we dip in, in order to improve our health, is also important, the type of water we put into the body in drinking.
Many health resorts also recommend drinking the mineral water that the place has to offer and this is an integral part of the treatment.

My personal recommendation is to take a dip in a bath that has been treated with “Mibria” and also to drink “Mibria”, because this is water that is suitable for everyone, unlike mineral water.
There is no side odor, no side effects and there is significant relief from physical or mental pain.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a way to downshift and relax, if you are looking for a cure for pain and set yourself a time in the spa … Take a swimsuit with you and make sure there is water use there.
Because beyond the unique healing properties of each type of water, immersion in water as a way of healing allows us to “take off” the hardships of the day, the stress and reduce stress, and this is already the beginning of healing in itself.
