Health. Fitness & Spa

There is a good interpretation of SPA according to which the history of Spa began in XIX age in small Belgian town Spa that was famous with its water treatment. However it was found that specialists keep to other popular version according to official documents:
"Today the word Spa becomes household word in our dictionary since its origin came from the Latin word and means Sanus per aquam or "health through water treatment.

May be nobody knows that famous from old ages word Spa is come untwisted in West only 8-10 years ago and it has been untwisted so that it became a brand name that can be used freely. So why not to use? It comes that in near future the word sanatorium disappeared from vocabulary of all languages. All of them will be renamed to Spa.

Now let's turn to interpretation of the word Spa for the last time since it seems that all types of treatment should be connected with water but really it means the sanitation of the soul and body is achieved because many factors. There are seven different postulates, which are as follows:
1. Beauty (cosmetic procedures)
2. Balance of the soul and body (massage)
3. Harmony achieving inside calmness (lessons of yoga, fitness and swimming)
4. Water the spring of the life and the heart of any spa center (sauna, pool and thalassotherapy)
5. Vital energy
6. Nature source of health, inside harmony and energy (mountaineering, swimming, riding a bicycle)
7. Healthy foods for soul and body

How this all began
The famous Rome baths (terma) were not the only place where you could wash but they remained establishments, which were the same as modern fitness spa centers. There were meeting places for friends, discussing of efficient questions, doing physical exercises and even the quenching of hunger. After their physical exercises visitors swam in the pool, than went onto a sweating circuit which consisted of a set of locations each of them based on the principle of the gradual increasing of temperature system.

In these locations they as a rule mixed with each other and again during this time visitors took off mud their bodies with a metal scraper called a "strigil". The cool pool followed and necessary grinding of body finished the whole process. Romans built these type of baths throughout the whole empire but however not all of them were the ideal place for a quite conversation. The Roman philosopher Seneca always complained on the awful noise produced by immature people who wandered around with blacked arms.

Romans always paid too much attention in taking care of themselves and not only in personal hygiene but also their appearance. More successful attempts were made to create toothpaste and they used burnt eggshell for cleaning their teeth and for the whitening pumice powder. A favorite accessory of modern resident of Rome were a little collection of twisters, toothpick and ear stick.

Nobel Roman woman often whitened their faces in order to be different from the poor and sunburn proved that its owner had to work in the field. Therefore it was necessary to strive with sunburn and first of all with original (up to our notion) powder. It was consisted of pounded toxic white lead and chalk. Roman women penciled their eyes with special make up which consisted of pounded ant eggs, flies or soot mixed with olive oil and they used red ground instead of rouge.

One of the most important things for each respected roman and not only the men but also woman was to have tweezers as visible body hair was considered being in bad form. In chase of skin smoothness they even tried to develop a depilation cream but unfortunately the mixing of blood goat and dried viper did not give the same results as plucking the hairs with tweezers.

Nowadays
There have been many changes since that time in depilating however with the new coming warm season (in Uzbekistan it starts from April till October) new disagreements about what methods to use for depilating are better have flared up with new strength. Often women ask questions as to why there are undesirable hairs on the face and body. Sometimes the excess of hair growth is the result of illness of the ovary and adrenal or in other words hormone changes in the organism. However in many cases it is the result of heightened sensibility where the hair follicle is not at a normal accordion level.

That is why growth of superfluous hairs is the evidence of some problems in the organism medical or cosmetic and problems should be solved as modern methods give opportunities to it. There ere many methods of depilating for example bio-epilating, electro epilating, laser epilating, photo epilating.
There follows a little description of these methods

Bio depilating
By this time bio epilating was not very popular. But all this has changed with a new in French technology (it is founded that French woman have an excess growth of hair) since this nation is a good judge of beauty. There is a whole developing industry of depilating in France. Now you can speak with confidence that a professional doing the bio depilating procedure is almost painless and it allows to depilate hairs near to the roots to make the skin smooth and even as silk. This allows new hair to grow only after 1,5-2 month.
If this procedure is repeated on a regular basis over 1-2 years the hair growth will noticeably decrease. Bio depilating allows fast and effectively to depilate on the big area for example on the legs but however for depilating from the face then this method is used only in exceptionally cases.

Electro depilating
Electro depilating is the more longer and laborious procedure than bio depilating where the cosmetician uses exactly this method to depilate unnecessary hairs from the face. Thin metal filament reaches the root and destroys it with a special current.
In order to finally stop the growth of the hair it is necessary to make the treatment for a long time (about one year). You should use this procedure regularly once a month as the hairs grows again.
Unfortunately this method is sickly so it is good if you will be offered electro-d epilating using only non-permanent needles. They have an orbed tip and Teflon or gold covering. This ensures that there are no sign on the skin since some devices give a blow of oxygen to the tip of the needle. It is noticeably to relieve the pain during this procedure.

Laser depilating
One of the last achievements in his field is the using of laser and this method is less painful than electrodepilating but more expensive. For achieving a steady effect repeated procedures will be needed but moreover today this method helps only woman with black rigid hair with white skin.
