Detox at a Panama health spa

We live a world where is it so easy to be exposed to all sorts of contaminants of one description or another. Some chemicals are very difficult for the body to break down and begin to accumulate if the situation continues. Add the that the diets that are adding to the burden and do nothing to enhance and help the body, in fact the average diet drains the body’s vitality. As the body becomes less able to cope it becomes more respectable to the common natural allergens that are all around us, like dust and pollen.

There are signs that your body might be run down and possibly suffer from an overload with more than it can handle. Luckily are bodies tell us we just need to take note –

Fatigue

Over weight

Frequent headaches

Digestive problems

Frequent infections – like colds or flu

Allergies – sinuses, asthma, hay-fever, rhinitis, rashes and so much more

For some people the answer is to take pharmaceutical medication which will further burden the body with chemicals and certainly isn’t the long term answer.

People are beginning to turn to day spas for regular appointments to longer stays at health spas and clinics. Many people are now realizing an ounce of prevention in detox treatments and programs is doing them a world of good and that they feel so much better for it.

Treatments with us can include body wraps (with detoxing aromatherapy essential oils, infrared saunas (for a more efficient detox), therapeutic massage (aromatherapy or lymphatic massage), various types of exercise, professional nutritional advice (from a naturopath and nutritional therapist). We also offer acupuncture to help the organs of elimination function better. We also have relaxation areas and important part of the detox process.

Then you need to consider – what happens after you visit to the health spa you need to continue to do your bit. It is important to consume fresh fruits and vegetables as we all know and you probably wonder why I keep mentioning it. Well two reasons – my experience and all the statics and research point to the fact most people are not eating anything like the “5 a day” which is in fact the bare minimum daily requirement. This is not for optimum health which would be 6 to 12 portions a day. Impossible, people often tell me – I eat between 9 to 15 every day.  When they describe a portion is it quite same – a portion is the size of a medium apple. If you managed 7 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, every day you would be doing yourself a big favour.

Other things that help the body on a daily basis

Soaking in a bathtub – with Epsom salts are very useful in drawing toxins from the body

Detox teas

Dietary supplements

Dry skin brushing to stimulate the lymph system

Hot and cold showers – first hot (about 3 minutes) and then cold (about 30 seconds) and repeat if you can?

When you should not go for a detox – maybe just some treatments at a health spa – pregnant women, nursing mothers, young children, and the very elderly. As for other conditions – at the health spa there will be health practitioners that can advice on the best course of action for your particular symptoms.
