The Spa at Cliff House, a luxury resort in Cape Neddick, Maine, has developed a new adaptable treatment series, designed specifically around the changes in the seasons and moon cycle.

Called Salt of the Sea, the treatments combine massage, using Saltability's pure Himalayan salt stones, with unique essential oil blends, designed to reflect the seasons, as well as give guests an energy boost.

Available in five seasonal varieties, depending on the time of year, each treatment has an associated element, such as wood, fire, water, etc, which is incorporated into the massage techniques used. For instance, water is linked to the winter treatment, which features salt stones made from 'ancient' sea salt and marine extract essential oils to remineralise the body, while the summer treatment, associated with fire, includes an uplifting essential oil blend of lemon basil, rosemary and ginseng, as well as 'energy-inducing' upward massage strokes.

Dawn Page, spa director at The Spa at Cliff House, said: "This treatment was born from reluctance of providing traditional 'seasonal' treatments like pumpkin body wraps and peppermint pedicures, which have their place, but it didn't fit with the connection to nature that we embrace at the spa."

Ann Brown, Saltability founder and CEO, said: "I love seeing our products used to their fullest potential, and the Salt of the Sea series is such a creative way to help help clients better connect with nature, the seasons and themselves. "

"Not only does the series highlight the versatility of our Himalayan salt stone product, but it also showcases the knowledge and creativity that drive our industry," she added.
