August Enews

August is proving to be a busy month here at Cove Spa; with lots on the go – new treatments being launched, our new menu and our much anticipated PEVONIA AWARDS Ceremony which we will be attending in Sydney – we feel totally honored to say we are ‘one of two day spa’s nominated’ out of over 300 Pevonia Day Spas nationwide  - so we will keep you all updated 
With winter ravaging our bodies and testing our immunities – we think education is key to keeping yourself healthy and well this season… so this months ENEWS feature:
THE SAUNA
It has at least a thousand years of history and similar systems can be found in other cultures: the Russian banya, the Native American sweat lodge or inipi, the Turkish hamam, even the Japanese onsen. In modern Finland there are reported to be 2 million saunas in use. The Finnish sauna exposes the body to high temperatures for a short time followed by a good cool down in a cold shower or pool. The time spent in the sauna depends on individual comfort levels.
Used widely today by spa-goers, the sauna is now accepted and appreciated for its amazing health benefits of infrared therapy are well documented as an effective treatment for:
~ relief of joint pain and stiffness
~ improved immune system
~ relaxation and stress reduction
~ removal of toxins and mineral waste
~ weight loss – ability to burn 600 calories in 30 minutes
~ general rejuvenation and renewal.

PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended that any health issues such as heart disease, blood pressure, asthma and skin problems be discussed with a medical professional prior to using any sauna treatments.
The American Medical Association has reported that in a single sauna session, you may burn as many calories as you would rowing or jogging for 30 minutes. An excellent way to lose weight - not just water. The infrared energy produced is the new standard of effective heat therapy that works on the body directly from within.
Our bodies are constantly bombarded with synthetics & preservatives. Naturally, the more toxins we consume ,which are often, unavoidable, the more our bodies attempt to flush it out by producing more water, thus more water retention and “saggy” looking skin (commonly known as the DREADED cellulite).
Toxins in our food and environment greatly contribute to premature aging, obesity, low energy levels, cancer, low immunity, depression, insomnia and many other damaging conditions. Far Infra Red heat easily removes stored toxins from your body, helps reduce cellulite. It will also rejuvenate your skin.
Our treatments using the powerful far infrared sauna to expel fat soluble into water soluble toxins, effectively reduces water retention creating firmer looking skin and flushing our bodies of these ever accumulating toxins.

We recommend a 30 minute session in our “detox box” – Far infra red  heat is the most effective in moving toxins through the skin. In fact, a single 30 minute session creates approximately the same amount of perspiration as a 10 km run!!! Scientific analysis shows Far Infra Red Heat induced sweat contains around 7 times more toxins, fat and impurities than normal sweat. Isn’t THIS JUST THE MOST FABULOUS NEWS!!!

The rays emitted are often referred to as ”happy rays” as they stimulate endorphins ”the happy hormones” in our brain.
That is one of the reasons we love being in the sun so much; even though we KNOW its long term over exposure has detrimental effects on our skin. However, studies prove it is safe and healthy to be exposed to Far Infra Red rays for short sessions over a long period. In fact these rays are used to keep premature infants warm, in alternative therapy - Palm healing and other hands-on therapies are based on the healing properties of Far Infra Red radiated from our body.
When Far Infra Red waves penetrate water (our body contains 80% water)molecules begin to vibrate reducing the ion bonds thus decreasing the size of water clusters. This gives them greater mobility to carry toxins trapped in the cells and expel the toxins through the lymph system out of the body. HENCE WE LOVE THIS TREATMENT SO MUCH!!! COMPLETELY NON INVASIVE!!!!

We recommend 4 sessions per month (1 x weekly) for effective results, then twice a month to maintain your results of a healthy, cleansed body.

So come and relax in our “detox box” for just $40 and enjoy its unsurpassed ability to eliminate stored body toxins (metabolic wastes, environmental toxins & pollutants, fat, cholesterol, heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine). Ideal during this cold winter weather!
SPA VISITS & REGULAR MEDITATION SESSIONS
Studies now prove that continuous daily stress impairs the immune, blood and nervous systems; hinders our concentration and can cause health problems including depression.
 Meditation is effective in mobilizing our inner resources for relaxing, coping and healing. One of the simplest ways to begin meditating is just to be aware of your breathing. Find a quiet place, close your eyes for a few moments and gently begin to breathe in and out slowly.
