Pinktober & Wellness

October is PINKTOBER!   Known as the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

It is the month where special attention is given to Breast Cancer by supporting research and educating women about prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. As a spa, it is a social responsibility to raise awareness about breast cancer and to educate women on the importance of regular screening, adopting a healthy lifestyle & pursing wellness for a better life.

Life is all about choices.  The lifestyle you choose to adopt can greatly affect your chances of developing cancer. So, if you are concerned about cancer prevention small changes in your lifestyle will make a difference.

Without any doubt eating a well-balanced diet based on veggies, fruits and whole grains, regular exercise, limiting alcohol intake and avoiding tobacco are all the right steps to minimize the risk of developing cancer. Regular screening mammogram is extremely important as it is the best method to detect breast cancer in women.  Early detection increases the chances of survival.

Another important factor is STRESS, which is sometimes referred to as the silent killer. Some studies indicate that stress affects the immune system hence it might indirectly increase the risk of cancer, specifically breast cancer.  Stressful situations can sometimes encourage less healthy choices such as smoking, overeating or consuming more alcohol all of which can lead to cancer. Hence it is important to manage stress.

Physical activity, yoga classes and meditation all help in managing stress.  Regular spa visits will boost your physical immunity and will positively impact your psychological health.

All types of body massages increase blood circulation, reduce blood pressure and relief stress. Treatments such as facials and hammams will leave you feeling revitalised, whilst reflexology will aid in the body’s natural healing process. Especially for breast cancer patients, the spa serves as the perfect place to draw positive energy. A nail spa treatment, a makeover or freshly styled wig will brighten up the patient’s day leaving them feeling revived and pampered. Spa visits and complimentary therapies allow you to relax and destress and enhance your body’s well-being.

“Relax your body,

Calm you mind,

Renew your spirit.”
