asiaSpa India May-June 2017 45Experts believe that a 30-minute session in a
jacuzzi is as effective as a massage. It effectively
improves blood flow to sore muscles and joints
and helps reduce pain. Jagpreet Kaur, Complex
Spa Manager, The Westin Gurgaon and Sohna,
says, “Jacuzzi jets can help stimulate the body and
can also be used to massage specific parts of the
body. In a massage, the pressure can increase to a
level where it becomes painful, but in a jaccuzzi,
you can relieve local pain to the comfort of the
pressure you can take – the jacuzzi allows you to
control pressure.” Westin’s Gurgaon and Sohna
properties also offer a seven-chakra vichy shower
and mineral pools containing Epsom salts, aroma
oils and a small dose of sulphur that helps relax.
At Le Méridien Mahableshwar Resort &
Spa, the vichy shower and Hammam are the
two hydrotherapy features. Zoremsiami, Spa
Manager, Explore Spa, says, “The Hammam is
like a silent healer. Our ‘Luxurious Hammam
Bath’ begins on the warm stone bed, with a
rejuvenating steam bath, and is followed by
a cleansing scrub and detoxifying wrap that
removes dead cells and tones the skin.”
Shamana Spa at Grand Hyatt Goa too offers
a variety of treatments such as a hot plunge pool,
seawater treatments and more. Alejandro Leo,
Director of Shamana Spa and Recreation, Grand
Hyatt Goa, says, “Immersing most or all of the
body in warm or hot water is believed to reduce
symptoms of arthritis, relaxing tight muscles and
relieving sore muscles.” With such a wide range of
effective uses, it is evident that water is the path to
follow to achieve a state of wellness. The vichy shower at Le Méridien Mahabaleshwar Resort & Spa
