WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE

I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED my time in water. Although I did not learn how to swim, it never stopped me from frolicking around in pools, lakes, or even oceans as a child. And this always earned me reprimands from my mother. Today, years later, I take to the water to heal myself. Poonam Saha, manager of the spa at The Leela Palace New Delhi (theleela.com), once told me how different therapies offer distinct advantages. “Geothermal spas and baths, for example, detoxify and smoothen the skin, while reducing muscle ache and joint stiffness, and eliminating toxins.” This got me thinking, and I set out to look for other water therapies that can help one replenish and rejuvenate one’s mind and body.
