Local Flavor

When traveling to new places and new countries I always prefer to dabble in local delicasies rather than order from chain establishments or say, order a "Philly cheese steak" at a rodeo in Paris, Texas. Same should go for an authentic experience in different spas around the globe. The local culture is progressively influencing the materials used in spas. For example, in a treatment inspired by local American Indian culture the Mii Amo in Sedona, Arizona offers products made from blue corn and stonecrop, while an eagle's feather is waved in a ceremony to cleanse the spirit. The experience is original to its landscape and evokes a connection with the spa goer's surroundings. At Cliff House Resort & Spa spa in Maine, local grown blueberries are used in body wraps which would personally remind me of my summers spent picking berries there. Body wraps are also made honey, lime, and cornmeal in a spa in Mexico. If you're also one to prefer the local cuisine, local spa treatments will suit your palate as well.
