Bonnie Carroll's Life Bites

One of my favorite travel destinations as a writer included Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic and beer bathing has been a favorite pastime there for centuries. Rather than warm water with your favorite essential oil US spas are looking into offering beer baths as a valued item on their menus. Europeans who indulge in Beer baths claim they relieve stress and clear the body of negative toxins, while inducing sound seep as well as providing a healthy glow to the skin. Some beer baths involve sitting in a large cedar tub filled with mineral water, hops, barley, and a few herbs, and just relaxing as you do in a bubble bath to unstress.

A spa I am familiar with in Cesky Krumlov gives baths in a European style bath tub and offers a cold mug of beer to enjoy along with your afternoon soak.

Various Cultures offer traditional spa treatments

Globalized additions to spa treatments in the US and around the world are said to be the hot new trend making their way into modern spas. The hanjeungmak,a South Korean spa treatments involving siting in a hot kiln to decrease blook pressure and improve circulation is getting high points, and the helot Filipino massage is said to remove toxins and restore mental and physical health.

Vinotherapy treatments have been high on the delicious list in California winery spas for some time, but are now becoming popular in international wine destinations like Burgundy and Champaign. Guests enjoy a scrub of pulp and grape seeds, followed by a wine bath while sipping wine, and finished a wine oil massage. This is an experience I’ve enjoyed in Napa Valley, and I can say it seemed a bit different, but ultimately was very enjoyable.
