Apart from traditional medical facilities, Cyprus has a very wide range of alternate medicine treatments available in the form of hot baths and Spas. The soil in certain areas of this tourist’s delight has unique properties in that they are curative. What’s more, there are resorts for all budgets. A spa is a location where mineral-rich spring water (and sometimes sea water) is used to give medicinal baths. Spa towns or spa resorts (including hot springs resorts) typically offer various health treatments. The belief in the curative powers of mineral waters goes back to prehistoric times. Such practices have been popular worldwide, and are especially widespread in Europe. Day spas are also quite popular, and offer various personal care treatments. Cyprus offers resorts that accept bookings of up to one week and more.

The term is derived from the name of the town of Spa, Belgium, in the Roman era. Since medieval times, illnesses caused by iron deficiency were treated by drinking chalybeate (iron-bearing) spring water (in 1326, the ironmaster Collin le Loup claimed a cure, when the spring was called Espa, a Walloon word for fountain. In 16th-century England, the old Roman ideas of medicinal bathing were revived at towns like Bath, and in 1596, a chalybeate spring was discovered in Yorkshire. An enclosed well was built at what became known as Harrogate, the first resort in England for drinking medicinal waters. Soon thereafter a second well was discovered and the resort called The English Spaw, beginning the use of the word Spa as a generic description.

The myriad facilities designed for your absolute well-being, include indoor and outdoor pools, freshwater and saltwater pools, whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms and hamams.

Bathing in sulphur spring water is a natural way to heal inflammatory joints, it stimulates the entire nervous system, giving the patient a relaxing sensation. Next, it starts working on the connective tissues making them flexible. The blood flow slowly increases which in turn helps in better absorption of oxygen and minerals.

The sulphide gets absorbed in the system and reaches the inflamed joints and cartilages. As one of the main proteins needed for your skin to stay firm, it enhances and renews the skin. It slows down the aging process because of its ability to protect against the toxic effects of pollution and radiation. It is known as "nature's beauty mineral" as your body needs it to produce collagen, which keeps your skin elastic and young-looking. Bringing you health and vitality and reviving the skin's natural glow.

In early 2009, Ayii Anargyri Spa resort opened its doors to present the world with a sublime experience. Set in a valley of mature trees, the resort offers a unique retreat, a place of profound calm and the opportunity to enjoy the health-giving waters which have benefited visitors for so many years. The Spa was first formally opened in 1649 by two brothers, Cosmas and Damianos. Their generosity in offering treatment often without thought of reward gave rise to the name Anargyri – without silver.

The hotel provides the means to benefit from the time-tested remedies of the mineral rich waters which flow there. Ayii Anargyri has something unique. From the Cyprus hillside, a mineral-rich spring carries the soothing waters renowned for generations for their healing qualities. This remarkable stream has been channelled to the new spa where it is combined in numerous treatments now advanced by modern science.

What Is Watsu?

Watsu is a gentle form of body therapy performed in warm water (around 35°C.). It combines elements of massage, joint mobilisation, shiatsu, muscle stretching and dance. The receiver is continuously supported while being floated, cradled, rocked and stretched. The deeply relaxing effects of warm water and nurturing support, combine with Watsu's movements, stretches, massage and point work, to create a bodywork with a range of therapeutic benefits and potential healing on many levels.

Moments of stillness alternate with rhythmical flowing movements, which free the body in ways impossible on land. The warm water relaxes the muscles and supports the spine. With this support and without the weight of the body, the spine, joints and muscles can be manipulated and freed in a way unique to water work. The effects include a very gentle, yet deep stretching and a release of muscular and joint restrictions, along with a state of deep relaxation, which encourages the release of stress and tensions.

Worldwide Watsu is currently provided in many international health and wellness spas as well as in aquatic physiotherapy programmes. It is finding countless applications in therapy, aiding recovery from injury, relieving muscular and joint pain and encouraging movement and flexibility. In addition many are enjoying sharing Watsu's simpler moves with family and friends. At practitioner level it can stand alone as a therapy or be used as a wonderful complement to therapeutic work on land.

What Does Watsu Do?

Many clients will come with a specific focus (e.g. pain syndromes, post injury or post surgery, specific movement restrictions)...while others seek Watsu for the experience of relaxation, blissful letting go, time-out, and quiet meditative stillness it can induce.

Watsu Experience

Imagine, the warmth and sense of weightlessness induced by water,... your eyes closed, so there is just the play of light across your eyelids, your ears are under the water so the sound of the world is muffled. The world starts to disappear, leaving just yourself and your experience of body and being in the water, nothing to do, nowhere to go, just receiving and letting go, into the graceful movement, rocking cradling and gentle rhythm. It is no wonder people speak of states of bliss and levels of relaxation never before imagined.

Specific therapeutic effects noted by receivers, include increased mobility and flexibility, muscle relaxation, fuller deeper breathing, reduction in anxiety and stress levels, decreased pain, improved sleep and digestion and a general sense of wellbeing.

Each person's experience is unique and varied, for many the focus will be on the physical effects of letting go, relaxing, the gentle full body stretches, freeing the spine and joints. Others might experience emotions, new personal insights and/or resurfacing of old memories. Many receivers will remark on the deep sense of beauty, or lightness, ease and grace experienced during their Watsu; or a sense of nurturing, safety, relaxation, maybe at a level never felt before or remembered from 'long ago'. The way Watsu is experienced is as varied as individuals themselves and so there is no right or wrong way to receive, practitioners do not 'push' any particular aspect, but simply listen and allow and support whatever the receivers experience is in any particular session.
