Take Care of Your Mental Health with These Aruba Spa Treatments

For most people spa treatments are about enhancing your skin beauty, your physical health, and reducing muscular tension. But massages, facials, and other spa treatments have a deeper effect promoting mental health.
It’s no secret that the pandemic has left serious mental health issues, such as stress, anxiety, and in some cases depression.
Isolation, worries about getting infected, the stress that working from home and home school brought, and normal everyday challenges led to a need for mental health alternatives.
Massages and spa treatments contribute to a healthier and happier mental state to help you get rid of stress, and make everyday more fulfilling.

These are 3 ways massage and spa treatments contribute to a better mental state.

1.Reduce stress hormone levels

When you get a single Swidish Massage, Therapeutic Massage, or any other kind of massage, cortisol levels instantly drop up to 50%, making you feel more relaxed and stress-free.
But when you receive regular massage sessions the effect is bigger, according to InMotion Health Centre, regular massages can help reduce anxiety, tension, hostility, and even lower the risk of heart attack.
Ater lockdown many individuals have had to deal with “postural stress” from spending too much time sitting in tiring positions. A back, neck and shoulder Massage can help relieve this kind of accumulated stress.

2.Improve your mood and help with depression

When you receive a body massage, or a facial massage during a calming facial treatment, the production of serotonin and dopamine— two mood-stabilizing neurotransmitters— increases, and boosts a “feel good” energy.
Massages also help reduce physical symptoms of depression like joint pain and muscle tightness.
In addition, Aromatherapy Massage uses essential oils, which contain chemicals that can trigger smell receptors that send messages to your brain for improving mood and help reduce depression.

3.Massages help improve sleep quality

Good sleep is the core of mental health. When you have optimal sleep your cognitive functions are enhanced, and you are able to perform better in your daily tasks, and face life with a positive attitude.
Massages help promote better sleep by relaxing the muscles and triggering the serotonin hormone, which induces a calming feeling.
Hot Stone massage is particularly good for releasing tensions and promoting restful sleep.
