The mineral waters in Varna and whole Bulgaria

diseases. Not at last Varna is a real city of

The origin of the word SPA is supposed to come
from the name of a Belgium town, whose mineral
waters were used for drinking and thus cured many
diseases. It is also often suggested that the
word is an acronym of various Latin phrases such
as "sanitas per aquas" meaning "health through
water", or "Solus Per Aqua meaning water in
itself". Today SPA in Bulgaria means strength and
beauty through the magic of the Bulgarian thermal
water springs.
4The mineral water rehabilitations include mineral
water baths, underwater therapies, underwater
gymnastics, hydro massages and mineral water
drinking. The thalasotherapies are based on the
curative power of the sea water, the sea minerals
and algae. The aromatherapy on the other side is
connected with full relaxing and medication
through natural oil essences of rose, rosemary,
jojoba, ilang-ilang and honey, chocolate, grapes
and wine applications or massages.
Of course the spa holiday cannot be complete
without an appropriate relaxing massage. The
massages can vary from Vichy water massages,
through chocolate and honey massages to Hawaiian
massages with volcanic stones and aromatic
flowers. Anti-Stress treatments based on Ayurveda
and Weight Loss Programmes including slimming or
tightening therapies and sports regimes and
special face cosmetic procedures with herbs and
Bulgarian mud are also offered at most of the spa
centres in Bulgaria.
SPA means not only treatment through mineral
water or thermal water rehabilitation, but also
includes many other therapies, like
thalassotherapies, aromotherapies, thermal mud
therapies and many others.
