By Samatha Putz

Do you suffer from bodily aches and pains? Perhaps your anxiety levels have hit an all time high? Have you considered that maybe your body is telling you something? As busy as we all are, our physical and emotional well being often gets put on the back burner and ultimately we pay the consequence with ill health. If this sounds like you then perhaps you should consider visiting a day spa. These salons offer a variety of treatments that will give your body and mind some much needed therapy. Check out the list below for the most popular.

1. Body Wraps - Day Spas offer a myriad of body applications, from sea clay, dry minerals, Aloe Vera to herbal wraps. Depending on your needs, you may have one particular treatment suggested to you. Most wraps require bundling the body tightly with towels or elastic cotton gauze that may or may not have been soaked in hot water prior. A moisturize is almost always applied after a treatment. Whichever wrap you choose, you can be sure that your skin will feel satiny and toned, you may even lose a few inches.

2. Exfoliating Treatments - These treatments are simple yet highly effective in removing dead skin cells leaving your body silky smooth. You can chose to have a salt glow (salt scrub) which utilizes sea salt with your choice of essential oils that are gently rubbed all over your body or you can ask for a sugar scrub which smells heavenly. You could also opt for a body polish which is similar to a sugar or salt scrub except that it uses various coarse ingredients such as coffee grounds and even rice.

3. Facials - Most day spas offer a variety of facials. This is necessary to meet each client's individual skin care needs. Steam is often used to open the pores and offers deep cleaning, removing dirt and even black heads. You can opt to have floral herbs or essential oils added to the steam water. Other choices for facials include massages which promote blood circulation while a face mask detoxifies the skin. Whichever treatment you choose, your face will glow.

4. Massages - If you're looking for ultimate relaxation, then a massage is the way to go. Not only is it deeply satisfying but it also targets sore muscles. Massages come in all shapes and forms. The most popular is the Swedish massage which uses various techniques such as kneading, tapping and gliding strokes. It's also the backbone for many other forms of massages like seaweed, aromatherapy and hot stone massage. However you take your massage, it will leave you feeling refreshed and physically relaxed.

The list of spa treatments is much longer than described above, however, at least now you know what basic treatments are available and what you can expect.
