Wellness
A wellness tourist is a person who seeks relaxation and travels to escape the tensions and anxieties of daily life. Such tourists also intend to rejuvenate and improve their health without the intervention and supervision of a physician. Such tourists typically suffer no particular physical illness, and they mostly seek to benefit from the healing power of nature and escape the tensions, anxieties, pollution, and bustle of daily life. One of the most important attractions and privileges of Iran for wellness tourism are therapeutic waters, to such an extent that there are currently more than one thousand mineral springs in Iran. Other attractions of wellness tourism include desert, jungle, mountain, and coastal villas and hotels. Relaxing spa, nail and beauty services, and massage therapies are other facilities that people can enjoy in the acme of relaxation and tranquility in a clean and healthy environment. The use of hot springs and mineral waters dates back thousands of years ago so that in the books of famous people, such as Aristotle, Hippocrates, and Plato, there are materials in this regard. Due to their minerals and specific properties, hot springs can cure many skin diseases and muscle aches and remove germs and bacteria of the body. It's interesting to know that the caloric intake of a one-hour rest on 40-degree water is equal to a half-hour walk. This treatment is scientifically called inactive warming up, and it is prescribed for those who fail to have considerable physical activity. In this method, your blood sugar and weight also decrease. However, the healing properties of hot and mineral water springs depend on the physical and chemical conditions as well as the temperature and various radioactive gases of the water in hot springs.
