Our Philosophy

To understand a business philosophy you must first understand the nature of their business. On that note what is the meaning of the word “Spa.” According to Wikipedia, “the term is derived from the name of the town of Spa, Belgium, whose name is known back to Roman times, when the location was called, Aquae Spadanae, perhaps related to the Latin word ‘spargere’ meaning to scatter, sprinkle or moisten.

Since medieval times illnesses caused by iron deficiency were treated by drinking chalybeate (iron-baring) spring water. In 1326, the Ironmaster Collin le Loup claimed a cure, when the spring was called Espa, a Walloon word for ‘fountain’).

In 16th Century England the old Roman ideas of medicinal bathing were revived at towns like Bath, and in 1571 William Slingsby who had been to the Belgium town (which he called Spaw) discovered a chalybeate spring in Yorkshire. He built an enclosed well at what became known as Harrogate, the first resort in England for drinking medicinal waters. In 1596, Dr. Timothy Bright called the resort The English Spaw, beginning the use of the word Spa as a generic description rather than as the place name of the Belgium town. At first this term referred specifically to resorts for water drinking rather than bathing, but this distinction was gradually lost and many spas offer external remedies.”

In our times the word Spa has become a buzzword for health, beauty and relaxation. At Beauty-Full Spa & Weight Loss Treatment Centre all of our “spa services” are delivered by trained and dedicated personnel.
