Not all treatments have to be hands on with a therapist and if you are investing in a spa holiday you will most likely find a variety of facilities within the spa for DIY treatments. Don't underestimate the power of saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzi's and plunge pools as detoxifying and relaxing self spa-ing treatments . Highly recommended before a massage or other treatment.

Sauna With dry heat temperatures over 80oC, simply put, saunas cleanse the body through sweating.

Steam Rooms Temperatures range between 40 - 46 centrigrade but with humidity at 100% they feel as hot as a sauna. Steam rooms can be in the form of Turkish Hammams or a series of different steam rooms such as Tepidariums or Caldariums.

The main benefits of saunas and steam rooms are:

Detox – the body dumps harmful toxins from substances such as alcohol, caffeine and nicotine through intense sweating
Increased Immunity - the hot air you breath in can kill off cold and flu viruses
Speeds up the Metabolism – you can burn up to 600 calories in only 30 minutes
Muscle Relaxation – warms and relaxes the muscles, particularly good after exercise to avoid injuries
Deep Skin Cleansing – unblocks pores and brightens the skin
Aids Respiratory System - helps clear the airways and relieve symptoms of asthma, allergies and sinus problems (steam rooms only)

Plunge Pools, Frigidariums, Ice Grottos These are all recommended after the use of the heat rooms (take a cool shower first) and the contrast of hot and cold is recognised by many in the medical profession as beneficial to your health. This practice is widely used by athletes for optimum performance

The main benefits are:

Increased Immunity - the body's anti oxidant levels are boosted
