Benefits Of Spa
‘There is something special offered to each and every person’.
Always remember that the benefits would be more effective only when

at the Resort Spas. The widened profits could be bunched into four
chief areas.

relaxants. People after experiencing the Spa are more relaxed and
comfy than ever before. They get less strained and better prepared
emotionally and sensitively for the return to their daily lives.

waters, alternative therapies, massage, saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools

day to day lives add upon it.

The Cure:
In the 19th century people had great faith in the power of bathing in mineral water to cure arthritis, rheumatism and skin complaints, and to improve conditions as diverse as gout, impotence, obesity, haemorrhoids, liver disorders and eye problems. Drinking mineral water was usually considered to improve digestive disorders, but was sometimes recommended for insomnia, goitre and even syphilis.
Bathing or drinking were the most common ways to ‘take the waters’. But people also inhaled steam, wallowed in hot mud, or were given massage or douche (spray) baths, especially at larger spas such as Rotorua. Government medical officers advised on the curative properties of different kinds of water, and supervised treatments.
Hospitals and Sanatoriums:
The main spas usually had a sanatorium for invalids, and sometimes a hospital. In 1885 at Rotorua a sanatorium was built for invalids too poor to pay for private boarding houses or hotels. It was replaced after it burnt down in 1888, and finally closed in 1947. Hanmer’s sanatorium was built in 1897 and replaced in 1908, but it burnt down in 1914.
In the First World War convalescent hospitals were built at Rotorua and Hanmer for returned servicemen; the Health Department took them over during the 1920s and 1930s. Hanmer’s hospital became Queen Mary Hospital, and the thermal waters were used to treat people with rheumatism and other problems. From the 1940s, however, the hospital focused on nervous disorders and detoxification of alcoholics. Rotorua’s hospital specialised in orthopaedics from the 1920s, and another services hospital there, built during the Second World War, was the predecessor of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (now called QE Health), which treats rheumatic diseases.
