Spas Surge in Popularity with Immunity-Boosting Treatments During Swine Flu Season

Spas are seeing a notable uptick in visitors amid swine flu concerns and winter illnesses. As reported by New York Magazine, many spas are responding by offering specialized anti-flu treatments to meet rising demand.

Targeted immunity therapies are especially in vogue. These include detoxification protocols, herbal blends, acupuncture, and lymphatic drainage, all aimed at helping prevent flu as effectively as possible.

American physician Dr. Jeff Morrissey affirms that spa treatments are a wise preventive option against Mexican flu or other seasonal bugs. That said, once illness strikes, bed rest is recommended—treatments work best beforehand.
