Sugar, Spice & Peppermint
The holidays are coming quickly, so to help you get into the spirit of the season, we're shining a little light on how seasonal scents make their way into the spa.
Brown Sugar
At the spa, we're interested in the natural brown sugar - or raw sugar - as it is chemical-free and retains a higher mineral content. Brown sugar is a great ingredient to add to a scrub. (Hint: look for brown sugar in other spots - like Jane Iredale's Sugar & Butter Lip treatment.)
Nutmeg & Cinnamon
Even if aromatherapy were the sole benefit of these spices, they're certainly worth looking at. Fortunately, nutmeg and cinnamon also offer holistic health benefits.
Nutmeg essential oil was traditionally used to treat nervous and digestive illnesses, but is now used primarily to relieve general aches and pain from overexertion. At one time, cinnamon was used to cure colds and is still used by some for digestive problems. It is also high in antioxidants and its essential oil has antimicrobial properties.
Peppermint
From teas to massage oils, peppermint has been referred to as one of the oldest medicines in the world. Ingestion is thought to offer relief to upset stomachs and benefit overall health from high vitamin and nutrient contents. Topical application is used to help soothe and relax muscles, while inhaling peppermint vapor from oil or tea is practiced to reduce congestion.
All these seasonal spa scents are probably already in your cupboards, so tiding yourself over until your next visit to AquaTerre is just a sniff away.
