Modern SPA occurs mainly through the five sensory functions of the human body, that is, the five senses therapy. It refers to the medium of water, through the five sensory functions: hearing, taste, touch, smell and vision perception, to achieve a full range of relaxation of the human body SPA art.

Hearing alludes to the act of listening to music that has healing qualities. You may get SPA aural delight by listening to sounds like wind, rain, birds, insects, gurgling water, and other natural melodies. Light music typically makes the heart beat quickly and strengthens the muscles. In clinical settings, music is also regarded as an adjunct therapy, such as reducing anxiety and pain from surgery.

Smell refers to the inhalation of natural floral and herbal aromas. In order to accomplish specific therapeutic benefits, aromatherapy, as it is known, uses the sense of smell to convey information through the nervous system and stimulate endothelial reactions. It is used for various systemic diseases, skin diseases, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and relaxation.

Vision means stimulating the α waves in the brain by exposing oneself to relaxing natural scenery, flowers, and plants, or by using calming hues to achieve relaxation. The general SPA provides guests with a sense of being in nature with the intentionally produced ambiance and the natural and exquisite organization of the space.

Taste refers to the provision of herbal teas and healthy meals to stimulate the taste buds and secrete saliva, thus achieving the effect of both hydrating and clearing the spleen and stomach, and completely relieving stress from the inside out. Different chemicals cause different reactions because they taste differently.

Touch is used through massage, skin care, and other methods to soften muscles and bones, relax the muscles of the whole body and decrease aches and pains, detoxify the body, reduce anxiety, and soothe the tired body and mind.

In conclusion, a SPA must be based on these five senses in order to fully allow individuals to experience relaxation of body, mind, and spirit.
