Spas

Could Spas Be Our Fountain of Youth?

If so, perhaps it can be found in the history of the word spa. Stemming from Latin origin, spa is believed to have many roots, Salut per Aqua, Solus per Aqua, and Sanus per Aquam which essentially translate to health through water.

Hydrotherapeutic wellness can trace its origin back to ancient Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Minoan times. The Romans are considered the first to seek out hot wells and build baths around them for relief of aching bodies. Since B.C. 200 the Romans and subsequent modern societies have used hydrotherapy to provide relief to rheumatism, arthritis, as well as a host of chronic, neurological, and orthopedic ailments.
