Before you take the next drug, try spa, says Meddy Spa boss, Medinah
Nigerians who are fond of swallowing drugs, especially when it is not prescribed by a doctor, have been advised to consider going for a day spa treatment the next time they feel ache in their body.
Meddy Spa boss, Raji Medinah Summayah, who gave the advice in an interview with Espi News in Lagos on Thursday, said Nigerians are always swallowing all manner of drugs each time they feel body ach when a good message by a professional can do the work without any side effect.
“Massage does a lot of things to the body compared to drugs which leave some deposits in the body. With massage there is no side effect and the good part is that there is no ‘too much’ to it,” Medinah said.
Meddy Spa, according to the Edo state born skin specialist, is a beauty parlour created to help Nigerians appreciate their innate beauty and to live an easy life.
“Meddy Spa is everything spa and our concern basically is to help people look good and be happy with themselves.
“We feel it is our duty to help Nigerians understand that visiting a spa shop regularly, will not only add colour to their beauty but will also help prolong their lifespan,” she said.
Summayah averred that “some of the benefits of therapeutic massages include; to improve blood circulation, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells; Stimulates the lymphatic system, which carries away the body’s waste products; It releases a hormone called Serotonin that enhances the body and mind’s “feel good” state. When you receive a spa service, your mind, body and soul are in harmony.
“Professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts, along with physical pampering, experience great relief in easing muscle tensions and cramps through trained therapists and relax every part of their body through deep tissue massages.
“Therapy can also help with pain management in chronic conditions such as arthritis, sciatica and muscle spasms.
“By indulging in body contouring services at a spa, you can keep the extra pounds off and keep your body in shape and beautiful. Body polishes gently exfoliate your skin, promoting cellular renovation, refining pores and gives your skin uniform relief.
“Body wraps are exceptionally beneficial as a quick way to remineralise the body, replenish it with nutrients and elements lost on a daily basis, thus boosting moisture in your skin, helping to rejuvenate and relax you.”
Summayah observed that Nigerians are beginning to understand the need for spa treatment compared to the western world that has seen embraced it.
“When we started Meddy Spa two years ago, our customers were people who had been exposed to European lifestyle or those who had lived abroad. But now, I can tell you that more Nigerians patronise us.”
The beauty expert who learnt her craft in a French school in Dubai in 2012 said a customer’s visit to Meddy Spa will leave the customer with a life time of good memories.
“At Meddy Spa our services include; facials, massage, body scrup/polish waxing and hand & foot therapy. We also distribute a complete skin care product called Farah-Oma,” she added.
