Spa Treatments with Health benefits
A trip to the spa usually feels relaxing, and new research shows that getting rid of all that stress can also help fight some diseases.
Integrative medical specialist Dr. Mimi Guarneri said lowering your stress level has real medical benefits.
Spas now offer treatments that target medical problems. One type of facial is said help get rid of toxins in the lymph nodes.
Similar to ancient acupressure, there’s new evidence that pressure-point massage works.
Guarneri warned about treatments that promise a quick fix.
