LOHAS stands for Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability. The term originates from American social scholar Paul Ray, who defined LOHAS as a new form of lifestyle in which a group of people take into consideration their health, the health of their families and environmental responsibilities when making consumption-related decisions. They attach great importance to natural qualities and consider protection of the Earth a priority. Currently, the trend has been introduced to Taiwan, where its own LOHAS has started, in which a sunlight-filled, stress relieving and macrobiotic new life can be enjoyed.

The word SPA may have come from the Latin “Solus Par Aqua,” which means to “soothe the body and soul with water and obtain health.” It may also be derived from a 16th century Belgium town of SPAU, where natural spring water emerged and local residents often gathered and bathed here to relieve fatigue and strengthen the body. The practice became widely popular and the hydrotherapy through nature’s resources also laid the foundation for spas.
Presently the spa is no longer restricted to one purpose only. They are enjoyed for many reasons, including recreation, recuperation, beautification, to fight aging, disease prevention and as a medicine. Furthermore, it is the perfect way to relieve stress and the physical/mental fatigue of modern people. According to the ISPA, the International Spa Association’s definition, spas are places devoted to overall well being through a variety of professional services that encourage the renewal of mind, body and spirit.

Foot massaging originated roughly 4,000 years ago in China. It is part of Chinese ancient traditional medicine and has the same principle as acupuncture in traditional medicine. After being passed down the various Chinese Dynasties, it was introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty to become acupuncture and soku shindo, which was introduced to Europe in the Yuan Dynasty.
Although foot massaging originated in China, it did not become popularized in China; this was due to the changing dynasties and ceaseless natural disasters in Chinese history, which almost led to the disappearance of foot massaging, a cultural heritage that was invented in the Huang Di era.
In the beginning of the 20th century, American physician Dr. William Fitzgerald reorganized theories on such localized treatment through modern medical science; only after the theories were officially published in the medical industry did the Westerners begin to perceive the importance of such practice.
