Healing Home Spa: Soothe Your Symptoms, Ease Your Pain, and Age-Proof Your Body with Pleasure

by Valerie Cooksley

Unlike most spa books that emphasize beauty regimens, Healing Home Spa features an A-to-Z section of more than 100 common ailments and everyday health challenges with therapeutic prescriptions for prevention and healing-from acne to aging skin, congestions, eye strain, stress, varicose veins, and wound care. Hundreds of original, feel-good recipes for masks, tonics, soaks, inhalations, and oils can be found throughout the book, making this a unique therapeutic treat that readers will use alone or with a partner to indulge in the healthy pleasures of the home spa.

Healing Home Spa shows readers how to turn their home into a harmonious retreat by incorporating natural home spa treatments that are easy to follow, while including many of the latest trends practiced in spas throughout the essential oil and herbal therapy, hydrotherapy, flower essence therapy, massage, body wraps, skin brushing, sound and music therapy, teas and tonic, yoga, and more. In all, more than a dozen techniques are described, including their healing benefits and current studies to support their efficacy.
