For those without the time or funds to be a dedicated day tripper, many of the benefits of a spa can be enjoyed at home. Sometimes, a relaxing soak in the bath with your favourite aromatherapy oils can be more beneficial than pounding away on a treadmill. Bring the spa home Practise 'abdominal breathing' Lie down, place both hands on your tummy and imagine that you are filling it with air like a balloon as you inhale. Hold for about three seconds, and then slowly and fully exhale. Stop just under the bustline.
Water is a therapy in itself.
Burn aromatherapy oils, light candles and play your favourite music. Drink plenty of water Add slices of lemon or lime to make it more palatable. Have a personal essential oil 'prescribed' for you Consult a qualified aromatherapist and carry the oil with you at all times. Inhale it straight from the bottle to feel the benefits.
