17th Century Spa, A Recipe for Wellness

Love going to the spa even more. Pamper your overworked, stressed, undernourished and dehydrated body, mind and soul. Heal thy skin, inside and out. Healing therapies await you from five centuries of wellness practices. Cleanse and nurture with  genuine, historical approach with botanicals from the 17th century. The professionals at The Spa at Colonial Williamsburg want our to experience and delight in one of the century treatments, moving forward in your wellness. 
I felt blessed, thankful, rejuvenated and even a little guilty (since my family was in the park), after splurging in a 17th century Shea Butter treatment. 
As you undress both, literally and figuratively, leaving your worries and stress with your street clothes in your locker, wrap yourself in a new layer, a soft, welcoming bathrobe and embark into a journey of wellness continuum. Spend a few minutes relaxing in the ladies lounge with a century tea, for balancing, detoxifying or another healing quality. 
Inhale fragrant herbal tea before and during your treatment, be it a massage, body wrap or facial. Allow your aesthetician or massage therapist to help you relax, unwind and focus only on you. 
My 17th century treatment included a Shea Butter, derived from a nut in Africa. Shea Butter is known for its' hydrating qualities. Shea butter is a raw material, vegetable fat, among its' benefits includes a sun protector, a natural anti-inflammatory and counters some irritation.
