Spa
A spa is a location where mineral-rich spring water (sometimes seawater) is used to give medicinal baths. Spa health treatments are known as balneotherapy. The belief in the curative powers of mineral waters and hot springs goes back to prehistoric times. Spa towns, spa resorts, and day spas are popular worldwide, but are especially widespread in Europe and Japan. Bathing regimens in ancient Greece formed the foundation for modern spa procedures. Following a decline in public bathing during medieval times, spas became popular health resorts and social centers for the upper class in the 18th century.
