Body Treatments

---

A body treatment is a blanket term for a whole gamut of different holistic, non-medical, physical procedures aimed at helping you achieve something specific for your body. A "body treatment" could involve all sorts of things.

You might be:

• Massaged or scrubbed with a particular oil, cream or mineral
• Wrapped or enveloped in something - perhaps mud or seaweed or even plastic
• Immersed or soaked in a liquid, such as water or algae
• Stroked, treated with or exposed to something external - like brushes, magnets or electric current, or lights.

The term 'body treatment' refers to facials, massages, belief-related therapies, rubs - any non-medical procedure that you go to a spa or centre to have. A spa ritual or spa experience describes a package of different body treatments that you get on the same day: a massage, a facial and reflexology, say, followed by use of the facilities and a light lunch.
