Baja Sportub Owner's Manual - A Brief History Of Spas
A BRieF HiStORy OF SpAS
During the 5th century B.C., the mineral springs in Greece and the Aegean Islands served as healing clinics.
At one particular clinic on the Island of Cos, a Greek physician Hypocrites practiced medicine while writing
extensively on hydrotherapy.
In the province of Leige, Belgium mineral springs were favored for centuries by notables and royalty, including
Russian Czar Peter the Great and German Kaiser William II. Mineral springs in those days were very similar to
today’s spas in that both were used for therapeutic and recreation purposes.
The ancient Romans, after a day of conquering the world, retreated to the pleasures of their mineral springs.
In fact, many well-preserved mineral springs built by the ancient Romans still exist today in places as far off
as Bath, England and Tiberias, Israel. After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century A.D., the number
of mineral springs decreased. It was not until the renaissance, mysteriously enough that they again became
popular. This raises an interesting question: Does the use of mineral springs or spas result in great thinking, or
do great thinkers resort to the use of mineral springs or spas?
