Geranium and rose based spa treatments with many foreign fans | ||
Treatments with oil from the Bulgarian attar-yielding rose are widely practiced at spa centers. Foreigners using the services of Bulgarian spa centers are keenest on treatments and therapies based on rose and geranium. Such programs that are typically Bulgarian have a magic impact on the human system and have become a hit among foreign tourists. Spa treatments practiced today are nothing new – they go back to ancient times, when Egyptian pharaohs used to take a warm bath with milk and rose petals. Today the rose is still largely favored by the fans of healthy living and of youthful beauty. Quite naturally then therapies using the Bulgarian attar-yielding rose Damascena are common in Bulgarian spa centers. Other programs popular among foreign guests, are the ones based on essential oil extracted from geranium – a herb rated highly by the Bulgarian folk medicine. “The first thing that foreign tourists ask is whether we offer rose oil therapies or other typically Bulgarian treatments”, explains Veska Pishtalova – manager of a spa center in a hotel chain in the town of Sandanski, Southwestern Bulgaria. She contends that foreign lovers of spa tourism are bored by the spa programs launched by famous companies that are on offer everywhere including Bulgaria, and are looking for something new and different. And in fact, local spa centers do offer a very good quality and service. The Bulgarian therapies provide powerful relaxing and toning impacts, help eliminate stress and leave the skin – especially of the face – radiant and youthful. More from Veska Pishtalova: According to Veska Pishtalova foreigners are bored by spa programs of famous companies offered across the world, Bulgaria included, and are looking for something new and different. “We have on offer quite intriguing therapies with Arabic names but actually based on typically Bulgarian products – attar of roses and attar of geranium. Attar is an Arabic word meaning perfume. The attar of roses represents a rich herbal bouquet – with rose, vitex and lavender. It is used for massage of the face, the neck, the neckline and the back. This is a therapy targeted at women, since the vitex has a strongly beneficial effect on the female system, especially at a more mature age. The men’s version of it involves attar of geranium. By the way, very few people are aware that geranium is unique among herbs for having a natural UV filter. The therapy is stress-releasing and guests feel unwind and charged with fresh energy.” “The therapy is in fact a fine peeling treatment with attar of roses. This is followed by a basic facial massage with a cream from rose, and the result is brilliant. It also has a visible anti-wrinkle effect. Originally created for ladies, it is also quite suited for gentlemen too, and both Bulgarian and foreign guests do love it”, concludes Veska Pishtalova, spa center manager in the southwestern town of Sandanski.
