Why a Spa Day Is the Perfect Digital Detox
Spending more time looking at screens than looking at people is the new normal. Social media has made us crave digital connections with little doses of dopamine released in our brains every time we check our phones.
But the consequences that come with the overuse of digital devices will make you notice how much your body needs a Spa Day for digital detoxing.
Why do you need a digital detox?
On one hand, blue light exposure emitted from your computer, tablet, phone or television, has shown to cause negative effects on your eyes, your skin, and your sleeping cycles. A digital detox can help you counteract these effects.
On the other hand, surveys show that the information overload from social media, and the constant pressure for having the ‘perfect’ post, affects people’s mental health, triggering stress, anxiety, and depression.
Separating yourself from your phone, or any other digital device for a few hours to enjoy a relaxing day at the Spa can have amazing benefits over your physical and mental health.
You will be so busy enjoying yourself that you won’t even remember to check your phone.
Benefits of a Digital Detox Spa Day
Release built-up tension: constant use of device causes tension in the neck, head, hands, and shoulders, massages help relax the muscles and get rid of the tension.
Reduce eye strain: too many hours in front of the screen can cause irritation and long-term damage to the retina, spending time away from the screen will reduce eye strain, and help your vision.
Improve sleep quality: when you have a digital break from the device’s blue light your sleeping cycle is naturally balanced, promoting better sleep quality.
Reduce stress caused by digital devices: being at the spa enjoying a relaxing treatment will make you forget about checking emails, texts, and social media, which has shown to increase cortisol (stress hormone).
Avoid depression: having a pause from excessive internet use can help you unplug and gain a sense of what’s truly important. Spa treatments promote your energy and improve your mood.
How to have a spa day digital detox?
First, remember that you are not glued to your phone or laptop, so log off and get ready to enjoy some time with yourself.
Second, turn off notifications and put your phone away, and third, designate a few tech-free hours to visit your favorite Spa.

I. What is a Lymphatic Drainage?
It's essential to have a good understanding of what the lymphatic system is and what it does. It’s a complex network of vessels and tissues that work together to remove waste and toxins from the body, regulate fluid balance, and support the immune system.
But wait, there’s more! It plays a critical role in maintaining the health and functioning of many other systems in the body. The lymphatic vessels are responsible for carrying lymph, a clear fluid that contains white blood cells and other immune system components, throughout the body. The lymph nodes, located at various points along the lymphatic vessels, act as filters, trapping bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances, and allowing the immune system to destroy them.
If you're considering a lymphatic drainage session, you may wonder what to expect during the massage.
Depending on your specific health concerns, the massage can focus on particular areas of the body where lymphatic congestion is an issue, such as the legs or arms.
Lymphatic drainage is a massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to promote the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. This technique uses gentle, rhythmic strokes to push the lymph toward the lymph nodes, which can be filtered and processed more efficiently.
Looking for a lymphatic drainage experience like no other? Clinical Massage Aruba & Spa offers the best one to meet your health needs.

During a lymphatic drainage session, a trained therapist uses gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body.

Curious about what will happen next? You will feel relaxed after 60 minutes as the parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated during the session. This massage can also help balance fluids and remove toxins from the body, so it’s normal to feel an increased need to urinate. With the powerful detoxification effect also comes increased energy and mental clarity.
Whether you want to improve your physical health or simply relax and unwind, this technique is worth considering.
