Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The term "spa" comes from the famous resort of Spa in what European country?

Answer: Belgium

The Belgian town of Spa has been famed for its mineral springs since Roman times. More recently, it was the site of the first modern beauty pageant (in 1888) and the racing Grand Prix of Belgium (2004).

2. At many spas, the most popular treatment is massage. Which of the following is NOT a type of massage?

Answer: Reiki

Reiki is a non-massage therapy. It involves a practicioner placing his or her hands on or near the client and working with "chi", or life force, to encourage healing.

3. Another popular spa treatment is a facial. In at least two spas in the USA, you can be pampered with a facial featuring this ingredient. Apparently, Japanese geishas swear by it!

Answer: Purified nightingale droppings

If you have approximately $100 and your skin is looking a bit tired, nightingale poo just might be the thing for you.

4. Shaving and waxing are fairly common ways to eliminate body hair, but which two of the following serve the same purpose?

Answer: Threading and sugaring

Threading, an ancient art, is accomplished by wrapping a fine thread around each individual hair and pulling it out. Sugaring involves applying a special sugar paste to the hairy area. When the paste is removed (yes, it hurts), the hair comes with it.

5. Now it's time for some thalassotherapy. What would that most likely involve?

Answer: The use of seawater and marine products

Thalassotherapy (from the Greek "thalassa", meaning sea) can include seawater baths, seaweed body wraps, and hydro-massage. Marine minerals are considered to be both relaxing and healing. Of the incorrect choices, "hot" yoga is known as Bikram yoga, and a coffee and cream colonic is exactly what you think it is.

6. TV girls just gotta have spa, too. Which "Sex and the City" character balked at getting naked in the sauna?

Answer: Charlotte

Beautiful Charlotte was plagued by body image issues. By the end of the episode, though, she took the plunge by dropping her towel!

7. Which of the following spa services is particularly frowned upon by most medical doctors?

Answer: Tanning beds

Whether obtained outside from the sun or inside from a tanning bed, that healthy-looking glow is a sign of skin damage. The only safe tan comes from a can! Conversely, a vegetarian diet can be healthful; lymph drainage is a type of massage that has been shown to reduce swelling (edema), and the Alexander technique is a type of tension-relieving movement therapy.

8. At some spas, you can arrange to experience Shirodhara, an Ayurvedic treatment. Shirodhara uses warm oil dripped onto which body part?

Answer: Forehead (third eye chakra)

The body's seven chakras are energy centers. Ayurveda (an ancient Indian healing philosophy of much current interest in the West) teaches that having warm oil dripped onto your third eye chakra for 30-45 minutes promotes calm and balance. A Shirodhara session is usually followed by massage.

9. All you have to do for this question is pick the term that isn't associated with spas.

Answer: Husqvarna

A heated paraffin dip smooths hands or feet. Reflexology involves pressure and massage to certain areas of the feet thought to correspond to ailing areas of the body. A "Brazilian" is a type of bikini waxing. Husqvarna, on the other hand, is a brand name used for sewing machines, garden equipment, and motorcycles.

10. Finally, which of these is NOT a dictionary.com definition for the word "spa"?

Answer: A muddy area, as where animals wallow

A soda fountain is called a "spa" in regional New England (USA) usage.
So instead of a hot stone massage, a brisk Rolfing session or even a colonic, let's all raise our "spa" glasses and toast the end of this quiz! See you at the spa!
