Hot Tubs for Health and Wholeness

Bullfrog Spas Logo

The origin of the word “spa” isn't 100% clear. Some believe the term spa came about as an acronym stemming from Salut Per Aqua, Solus Per Aqua or Sanus Per Aquam —all essentially meaning “health through water,” or a combination of espa for “fountain” and spagere meaning “to bubble up, scatter, sprinkle or moisten.” Perhaps a simpler explanation is that the name comes from the little village with a natural hotsprings, Spa , Belgium —but was the town named for the natural waters, or were the waters named for the town? Either way, there's little doubt that spas and Hot Tubs are not only great for relaxing, but they have many health benefits as well.

Hydrotherapy has origins that reach back to ancient Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Minoan and other ancient cultures. Our “modern” thinking is only recently beginning to catch up to these cultures as our understanding of the benefits of “taking the waters” increases with medical science now touting the health advantages of Hot Tubs and Spas.

Sitting in a Hottub not only provides a relaxing, stress-relieving experience, it offers other health benefits as well. Various studies have shown that water therapy can have a beneficial affect on patients with Type 2 Diabetes. Arthritis sufferers and those with other musculoskeletal ailments also find relief in hot water. Spa therapy has even been shown effective in treating insomnia.

A Jacuzzi Spa in your own backyard is probably the best way to bring hydrotherapy into your life; an added benefit is the backyard spa offers a social gathering place for friends and family, and adds to the overall beauty and value of your yard. Looking into buying Portable Hot Tubs can be a confusing experience, but it doesn't have to be. The folks at Bullfrog Spas make it easy, with an online Virtual Spa Showroom, Interactive Spa, Build Your Own Spa feature and tons of information to help you choose just the right Hot Tub for you and your family.
