Weird Spa Therapies


Spa treatments allow us to get away from it all and just relax. The relaxing therapies we often see on sites such as Wahanda and Wowcher are promising, low cost deals many of us enjoy partaking in. However, when you look at some of the more unorthodox therapies, you realise a hot stone massage is as conservative as it gets. Here are a number of the weirder spa treatments from around the globe.

Snake Massage, Israel

If you're looking to really bring the romance out, then this is just what you should give your partner. In Talmei Elazar, Israel you can look forward to therapists placing snakes on your body and face all in the name of relaxation. This blissful pampering session is not for the faint hearted. However, it's mean to be very relaxing. We'll never know!

Beer Bath, Czech Republic

If you like to relax with a drink, this brings the whole notion to a head - a frothy head that is. At the Chodovar Brewery in Chodova Plana, you can treat yourself to a bath of mineral water and beer. The dark beer is claimed to have medicinal benefits and make those with ailments feel all the better. We're not sure of its health properties but sign us up. It's not a regualr massage from a London deals site but it'll do.

Chocolate Facial, America

No created by Cadburys but by the founder of Hershey's. After opening in 1930 and still going strong today, the hotel where the treatment is based is a must see on a visit to the town of Hershey, Pennsylvania. Take a trip to the Chocolate Spa and enjoy a cocoa based treatment. It's also edible.

Solitary Retreat, North Africa

Not exactly the most orthodox of therapies this week long treatment involves you enjoying a life of hardship and mixing it with a bit of spiritual richness. Walk around the Sinai desert and live like a Bedouin, while trekking across the space, wash in the tribes herbal treatment and sleep under the stars as you reflect on your life. It lasts for 7 nights and is said to be a wonderful experience, if nothing like a Wahanda flotation therapy.

Sound Bath, California

This form of therapy is quite specialist as you can imagine and us based in home of the hippies, California. Called a an acoustically perfect tabernacle and energy machine sited on a powerful geomagnetic vortex in the magical Mojave desert". You can enjoy a 30 second sound bath, while lying on maths in the domed theatre. The music is made by quartz crystal bowls of course and aligns your chakra - all good so.

Waterfall Massage, Canada

Thailand is the home to this massage therapy, albeit in a completely natural, cold water circumstance. However, the Willow Stream Spa in Banff, in the Rockies also provides it to those looking for the comfort of first world surroundings. It's the perfect aid to those with pains and aches caused by skiing.

Fire Cupping, China

The previous treatment may be Canadian bound, but originate in Asia. Fire cupping however is Beijing bound and is a brutal suction massage technique. There can be burning and bruising if you get the wrong person, so choose a high class spa to ensure you get the best experience. Maybe not one for Wowcher.

Cyrotherapy, Finland

This therapy involves the heating and cooling of the body repeatedly, but not in the way or to the degree you'd imagine. Cyrotherapy involves sitting in an icebox and can mean you experience temperatures of below -110 degrees. Those undergoing the therapy can only spend up to a few minutes in there or will end up risking death - not perfect in any circumstance.

Though deal of the day sites such as Wahanda and Wowcher offer some therapies some of us may consider alternative, these are the real cliff hangers. If you're brave enough go right ahead.
