With only a few months to go till year end, you are probably feeling tired and worn from the fast paced lifestyle 2017 has delivered. October is a month South Africans reflect on Mental Health Awareness and it is important that each and every human being, take the time out to de-stress and unwind.
When focussing on mental health, this would include overlooked symptoms of depression, anxiety, and job stress which are common and affect individuals, their families and co-workers, and the broader community. Although the issues relating to mental health are extremely broad, it can be offset by a stressful work environment and overworked body and mind. This month, take time out to look after yourself and de-stress your body and mind. It is proven that massage can assist with the release of serotonin – the feel good hormone.
With every year, the trends and desire for certain goods change and this year spa-goers have seemed to enjoy treatments including Hydrotherapy, foot soaking in natural minerals as well as a blend of influences such as beauty and wellness combined treatments, and Granny Mouse Spa offer all of these and more – keeping in line with the trends and offering a peaceful setting, sure to calm a stressed head.
Hydrotherapy – think the humble bath transformed into a luscious “rite of passage” that encompasses water, which is a symbol of rebirth and purification in many religions and cultures, as well as scent and relevant minerals which can help target stress related problems. One is able to try treatments such as the CSpa Shimmer Milk Bath, which is a sensorial bath rich in vitamins that assists in regeneration, rejuvenation and re-mineralisation. It is available for both singles and couples at Granny Mouse Spa.
Foot soaking in natural minerals such as salts allow for detoxification and some spas have also incorporated this into their welcome regimen, such as Granny Mouse who offer this as their signature arrival offering for guests.
The blend of influences is also said to be a trend this year. This can take many forms, but is ultimately the combination of beauty and wellness, such as a massage incorporating specialised products that can be beneficial to the overall aesthetic of the skin. Try an Aromatherapy massage or CSpa facial – these are just some of the treatments on offer at this little gem located in the KZN Midlands. Not only will the spa tend to your stressed body and mind, but so will the peaceful surroundings that one is able to embrace along the Midlands Meander.
