Natural


Many of us are looking for that quick, easy and guaranteed way of making our body and system as healthy as possible. It would be even better if we would never age after that specific treatment. I really believe there is no such treatment. Our health depends on variety of factors. We can only help to increase the effects of cosmetics, vitamins, treatments and every other way of making “us better” by using them regularly, positive thinking, and what we believe is the appropriate diet. I am saying that after my personal research of my family. Those, who ate the simple foods lived longer, were physically active to the end, and did not have any of the following ailments: overweight, diabetes, high cholesterol, or even high blood pressure. Amazing right? Fortunately, they lived with no preservatives (they used home made preserves, and salt), ate real butter, drank well water, and exercised every day through hard work. Hmmm….. Those times are gone.


Our policy at Spa Shawnee is to use all natural products and mostly organic. That is why we are going to introduce our new services based on the Açai berry. We are going to incorporate Açai juice to our facial masks, and body wraps. The reason we decided to introduce them is that Açai has tremendous health properties and may be one of the best possible foods you can eat to stay healthy. Açai (pronounced (ah-sigh-EE) is a fruit that grows on the Açai Palm Trees in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil. The Açai berry is small in size (smaller than a grape) and is dark purple in color. Açai is mostly seed, covered in a small amount of pulp. In fact, about 90% of the Açai berry is seed - it is important to note that no one eats the Açai berry seed. Açai has 10 Times the antioxidant power of red grapes and twice that of blueberries. We tested the masks, and body wraps on ourselves. Our skin feels moisturized, smooth and healthy. I personally tried it on my face and did not have to use a moisturizer for almost a week. In addition, the mask smells delicious – to the point that you want to eat it. Of course the results will depend on skin type and treatment, but I invite you to try one of them at our Spa. Just ask for an Açai treatment or facial.
