The origin of the word "spa" comes from the name of the famous mineral springs in Spa, Belgium. Since very old times, people around the world believed that water has physical and spiritual purification qualities. Bathing in a particular spring or water would cure illnesses and purify the soul. Various forms of ritual purification existed among the native Americans, Aegean civilizations, ancient Egyptians and Romans. Some of the earliest descriptions of bathing practices came from Greece. Bathtubs, wash basins and foot baths formed the foundation for modern spa procedures. .
There are numerous resorts and spa escapes available all over the world, but they can be very pricey.
