The word "spa" is taken from a town in the province of Liege, Belgium where mineral springs
were favored for centuries by notables and royalty, including the Russian Czar Peter the
Great and German Kaiser William II.
However, the use of mineral springs for therapeutic purposes dates back to the 5th Century
B.C., when hot springs in Greece and the Aegean Islands served as healing clinics. At one
of these clinics on the Island of Cos, the Greek physician Hippocrates practiced medicine for
a while and wrote extensively on hydrotherapy.
The Romans, after a day of conquering the world, retreated to the pleasures of spas. In fact,
many well-preserved spas built by the Romans still exist in places as far apart as Bath,
England; Baden, Switzerland; and Tiberias, Israel. After the fall of Rome in the 5th Century
A.D., the number of spas decreased. It was not until the Renaissance, mysteriously
enough, that they once again became numerous. Which raises the question: Does the use
of spas result in great thinking, or do great thinkers resort to the use of spas?
A new Baja Spa is the modern machine for today's great thinkers. It blends many advanced
features to help you enjoy the benefits of warm water for recreation and therapy.
