Why a Moroccan bath is a must in Dubai summers

Posted on by

The Moroccan bath or ‘Hammam’ is a traditional ritual that has become a staple of Dubai and Middle Eastern culture, and for good reason.
The experience is incredibly relaxing and enjoyable, and there are many health benefits associated with it, most of which are particularly helpful during those scorching Dubai summers.
The relentless sun can dry out the skin, and damage its natural moisture barrier. This can result in irritation, lost elasticity and even premature ageing.

Here’s why a Moroccan bath is essential in Dubai summers:

Improving your skin’s health

Exfoliating and hydrating the skin is one of the most effective things you can do to improve its health after a day under the harsh rays of the Dubai sun. You will get a warm and delightfully rough exfoliation during a Moroccan bath, scrubbing away dead cells with special exfoliating mitts and a rub treatment. And with the milk and honey baths, your skin will be instantly drenched with nourishing moisture to help your skin feel light, soft and silky smooth.

Finally, with a bit of massage therapy, any tension you are carrying in your muscles will be released. And the combination of washing, exfoliating, hydrating and massaging your body will fend off the potential for premature ageing that can be caused by intense sunlight. Maintain your youthful vibrancy and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Unwind

Straight up, they are extremely relaxing. Soaking up the steam as you enjoy the rich scent of the products gives a profound sense of calm, and the deep cleanse and exfoliation will make your skin and muscles feel divine. Relaxation of the body and mind is important for eliminating stress and lowering cortisol, and a Moroccan bath delivers on all fronts.

That deep cleanse is reason enough in itself. You’ll never experience cleanliness that matches the feeling after a Moroccan bath; you’ll be scrubbed thoroughly so that every pore on your body feels cleansed and refreshed. The rubbing and scrubbing has a positive effect on your circulation, which helps the body detoxify and heal quickly. This is perfect for promoting your body’s natural defenses against the damage from the Dubai sun.

Five ways reflexology can help men reduce stress

Posted on by

Stress can have a very damaging impact on your health, increasing the risk of an early death. While men and women will both experience stress, men are more likely to develop health complications as a result. Finding ways to reduce stress is crucial to staying healthy and reflexology is the foot massage Dubai residents have been relying on to improve their lives.

Here are a few ways it could help you too:

Improves blood circulation

Foot reflexology improves your circulation, which in turn lowers your risk of heart disease and stroke. Men are particularly prone to developing heart conditions, but by boosting your circulation you minimise the risks.

Lowers blood pressure

High blood pressure is also a health risk, and can be an indication that someone’s heart is not functioning as well as it should. Lower your blood pressure with foot reflexology and you’re less likely to experience problems.

Reduced fatigue

A person who practices foot massage benefits from lower levels of fatigue. Since our working culture requires us to put in longer hours, you risk burning out if you don’t take care of yourself.

Fewer feelings of panic

Men don’t always like to admit feeling stressed or suffering panic attacks. Stress affects the body’s endocrine system which is responsible for the ‘fight or flight’ response, but foot reflexology can be used to lower that panic mode and leave you feeling calmer and more relaxed.

Reduced anxiety

Clinical trials conducted in hospitals have shown that foot massage benefits those suffering from anxiety. Men are often more reluctant to talk about their mental wellbeing, but reflexology sessions could offer a safe space to tackle feelings of anxiety or unhappiness.

Foot reflexology can be particularly beneficial to men, helping them cope with the stresses of daily life. Cool Aroma Spa has a dedicated team of highly trained reflexologists, many of them leading practitioners in Dubai and the wider the UAE. We offer a relaxing, calm environment in which you can discover the stress-reducing effects of reflexology for yourself. Get in touch today to book your session.
