Have you heard about Vinotherapy?
A lot of people, including you may not have any idea what it is about. Some people think it’s a new
magical wine that has been found to cure all your fears and frustrations. Others think of Vinotherapy
as some sort of therapy that involves drinking wine since “vino” means “wine” in Italian, Spanish and
many Slavic languages.
Unfortunately, that’s not what Vinotherapy is about. While using wine as medicine is not a new concept
or discovery, rubbing the raw ingredients into your skin is, and it is said to be the best way to get
health benefits. Vinotherapy or wine therapy takes the health benefits of wine to a new level and in a
rather unique way. Instead of drinking wine, you slap them on your face or rub them on your skin or
even reduce them to a pill form so you can swallow without having to spin in dizziness.
Wine is known to provide the following benefits:
reduced cardiovascular health risks
resveratrol in grape skin is known to have cardioprotective effects
chemoprotective effects
decrease in the risk of lung cancer
decrease in the risk for Alzheimer’s disease
The rationale behind this unique therapy lies in the essence of the grape – the main ingredient in wine

making. From the seeds, leaves, and skin of the red grapes which contain polyphenols, procyanidols,
and antocyanosides. These have been proven to exert more antioxidants or anti-free radicals than
Vitamin E. As such, it is said to help in fighting ageing through the restoration of collagen and elastic
fibers.
Skin care experts are more excited about the different concoctions of wine facials as the newest and
the latest big thing in skin care as a fantastic anti-aging therapy. Red wine with all its benefit to
wellness and health, is now being used to revive glow in aging skin.
Wine therapy and wine facials improve blood circulation. It also reduces wrinkles and revitalizes skin.
Wine may be used in conjunction with Ayurvedic cream or regular cream depending on one’s skin
type. Whether you rub or knead those raw wine ingredients including whole grapes gently into your
face (wine facial) or body (pulp-friction massage), the results are incomparable. Because of their
herbal base, wine therapy is helpful in curing infections. You can expect to have a clear, unblemished
skin after regular facial or therapy sessions over a few weeks.
Wine therapy is also being used in spas to soothe frayed nerves and relax the stressed tissues, helps
in the production of antibodies, soothes the nervous system, improves circulation and builds up the
immune system.

We suggest a Chocolate MassageWhile there is no doubt that chocolate is the best pick-me-up around, it has always got a bad rap for
Chocolate has also been considered one of the culprits for bad skin as too much consumption can
lead to acne and skin blemishes.
Of late though, the view on chocolate for the skin has taken an about turn. High-end spas all around
the world have introduced the latest in skin care - chocolate spa treatments! From soothing chocolate
massages and body wraps to indulgent chocolate facials and invigorating chocolate body scrubs,
suddenly chocolate is everywhere. Using cocoa-based creams, lotions, and oils, you can now choose
to get your chocolate fix without the calories.
Some of the benefits of chocolate body treatments include:
Firms the skin - The caffeine present in chocolate stimulates the circulation and improves bloodflow. This in turn improves and invigorates skin cells, decreases the aging process and increasesfirmness of the skin.Rich in anti-oxidants - The darker the chocolate, the more powerful are the antioxidantproperties. It is also important that you choose your creams and lotions carefully before you beginusing them. Products that contain more than 35% of pure cocoa are more effective when it comesto revitalizing the skin and giving it a plumper and firmer feel. Antioxidants also help increase thelevel of collagen and elastin in the skin and thereby reduce the effects of aging. Fine lines andwrinkles can be treated with regular chocolate treatments as antioxidants lessen the damagecaused by free radicals in the body.As a moisturizing agent - Cocoa butter contains high amounts of natural oils and emollientsnecessary for treating dry, rough and flaky skin. A chocolate massage or chocolate body wrapusing a cocoa-butter based massage cream will help remedy rough skin especially on thosestubborn spots such as the elbows, knees and feet. The higher the percentage of cocoa butter inthe lotion or cream, the better moisturized the skin stays long after the treatment is over.Good for health - Studies have shown that eating a small bit of dark chocolate every day canimprove your cardiovascular system, and help prevent atherosclerosis and chronic fatigue due toits antioxidant properties.Chocolate also has the power to improve a person’s mood and cause feelings of euphoria. Eventhe smell of chocolate can accomplish this positive effect on the brain; making chocolate massagesan ideal way reap the health benefits of without any of the guilt associated with eating too muchchocolate.Good for cellulite - Chocolate contains theobromine that helps burn fat and get rid of cellulite. Achocolate massage or chocolate body wrap helps work the chocolate-based lotion or oil into theskin for the best results.Calming effects - Who hasn’t calmed down after biting into a chunk of chocolate? In much thesame way, a chocolate massage helps reduce stress and tension and eases tight and soremuscles.

We suggest Thermal Circuit “Quente das Quenturas”, Azores in color,or Furnas PowerSulfur is a naturally occurring mineral that is found primarily near hot springs and volcanic craters.
Sulfur has a distinct smell which is caused by sulfur dioxide gas escaping into the air. Sulfur is part of
the chemical structure of three different amino acids (the building blocks that make up protein) --
namely, cystine, cysteine, and methionine. Sulfur works with vitamins B1 (thiamine), B5 (pantothenic
acid), and H (biotin) to promote metabolism and communication between nerve cells.
Approximately 0.25 percent of your total body weight is sulfur one of the most plentiful minerals in the
body. It is most concentrated in keratin, which gives you strong hair, nails, and skin. It is known as
“nature’s beauty mineral” because your body needs it to manufacture collagen, which keeps your skin
elastic, beautiful, and young looking.
Sulfur is used primarily to ease the itchy irritated skin rashes; conditions such as eczema, diaper rash
sulfur may minimize the symptoms of psoriasis, dermatitis, dandruff, eczema and warts. It also helps to
protect your body against toxins in the environment. In addition, people with arthritis may find pain
relief from taking a soothing bath in hot sulfur springs. Sulfur is shown to lower cholesterol and blood
pressure. Soaking in sulfur water baths is an effective way to relieve the burning, pain and itching
caused by hemorrhoids. Other ailments that sulfur water holds promise for alleviating are digestive
disorders such as acid reflux, premenstrual issues, menopausal symptoms, disorders of the female
reproductive system, heightened cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Sulfur may assist the
liver in its detoxifying functions.Inhaling healing mineral water as vapor can be an effective treatment
for asthma, sinus problems, allergies and other respiratory problems, clearing mucus from the lungs
and facilitating breathing.
During a hot spring bath, the body absorbs trace amounts of minerals such as carbon dioxide, sulfur,
calcium, magnesium, and lithium. These trace minerals help provide healing effects to different organs
and systems in the body. These seemingly subtle health benefits include increased immunity due to
stimulation of the immune system; physical and mental relaxation; endorphin production; as well as
gland function normalization.
Lowering blood pressure is another significant health benefit of a hot spring bath. The article ‘Mayo
Clinic Ok’s Spas for Heart Patients’ suggests that bathing in hot tubs and spas may not put heart
patients at risk, contrary to previous beliefs. The findings of a Mayo Clinic study showed that a hot
bath provides the health benefits of exercise without much strain on the heart. Soaking in a hot bath
causes heart rate increase while lowering blood pressure rather than increasing it as some exercises
do. Soaking in hot water initially increases the heart rate sending blood to the surface and dispersing
extra body heat into the air. After several minutes though, the warm blood dilates the blood vessels
reducing blood flow resistance and eventually lowering blood pressure. When absorbed transdermally,
sulfur may alleviate the pain and swelling of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
