ผู้อำนวยการสำนักงานส่งเสริมธุรกิจบริการสุขภาพ กรมสนับสนุนบริการสุขภาพสถานการณ์เกี่ยวกับธุรกิจบริการสุขภาพในปัจจุบันยังคงมีการแข่งขันสูง จากรายงานของสำนักส่งเสริมธุรกิจบริการสุขภาพ มีสถานประกอบการที่ขึ้นทะเบียน เป็นสถานประกอบการธุรกิจบริการสุขภาพในการกำกับดูแลของสำนักงานส่งเสริมธุรกิจบริการสุขภาพ โดยกรมสนับสนุนบริการสุขภาพรวมทั้งสิ้น 1076 แห่งทั่วประเทศ โดย 347 แห่งอยู่ใน กรุงเทพฯ แสดงให้เห็นว่า มีผู้ที่ใส่ใจสุขภาพเลือกสถานประกอบการเพื่อสุขภาพเป็นทางเลือกหนึ่งในการดูแลสุขภาพตนเอง กระแสการทำสปาเป็นอีกทางเลือกหนึ่งผู้ใส่ใจในสุขภาพเพื่อการผ่อนคลาย จึงมี นวัตกรรมใหม่ๆ เข้ามาในวงการสปา รูปแบบการทำสปาในปัจจุบันมีพัฒนาการเพื่อให้ตรงกับใจลูกค้าอย่างมาก โดยบางครั้งอาจละเลยในเรื่องความปลอดภัยของผู้รับบริการล่าสุดก็มีบริการรูปแบบใหม่คือการทำ &#8220;สปาหู&#8221; จนเป็นที่นิยม เพราะมีการกล่าวอ้างว่าเป็นศาสตร์ดั้งเดิมที่ใช้ควันจากเทียนบำบัดนวดเส้นประสาทในหู และเชื่อมโยงไปส่วนต่าง ๆ ของร่างกาย โดยมีการโฆษณาว่าสามารถรักษาอาการของโรคได้หลายอย่าง ด้วยเหตุนี้จึงไม่แปลกใจเลย หากวันนี้ธุรกิจทำสปาหูจะมีการแข่งขันกันสูง เพราะนอกจากจะเป็นการบำบัดช่วยผ่อนคลายแล้ว ยังสามารถทำเงินให้ธุรกิจสปาเป็นอย่างมาก อัตราค่าบริการในการให้บริการ ประมาณ 500- 1,500 บาท ต่อครั้ง ขึ้นอยู่กับสถานที่ในการให้บริการนอกจากนี้ยังมีบริการ ซื้อเทียนหูแล้วกลับไปทำเองที่บ้าน โดยใช้เวลาสอนไม่เกิน 1 ชั่วโมง และยังมีสถานประกอบการภาคเอกชนหลายแห่งเปิดสอนการทำสปาหู ค่าใช้จ่ายในการเรียน ประมาณ 1500-4000บาท ต่อ 1 คอร์ส ขึ้นอยู่กับสถานที่ และระยะเวลาที่สอน การสอนเพื่อไปประกอบอาชีพ มักจะใช้เวลาการเรียนการสอน 30 ชั่วโมง &#8211; 60 ชั่วโมง ซึ่งหลักสูตรการเรียนการสอนจะแตกต่างกันไปแล้วแต่สถาบันซึ่งหลักสูตรการเรียนการสอนสปาหูนี้ ยังไม่ได้ผ่านการรับรองหลักสูตรจากคณะกรรมการกลางของ กรมสนับสนุนบริการสุภาพ กระทรวงสาธารณสุข</p>
<p>ตามที่สำนักงานส่งเสริมธุรกิจบริการสุขภาพ กรมสนับสนุนบริการสุขภาพ กระทรวงสาธารณสุข ซึ่งดูแลสถานประกอบการเพื่อสุขภาพมีมาตรฐานในการควบคุม กำกับ ดูแล สถานประกอบการธุรกิจบริการสุขภาพ ซึ่ง มี 3 ประเภท ได้แก่ สปาเพื่อสุขภาพ นวดเพื่อสุขภาพ และนวดเพื่อเสริมสวย ซึ่งจากการกระทำดังกล่าว ยังไม่มีรายงานผลการศึกษายืนยันว่าสามารถช่วยบำบัดโรคต่างๆที่กล่าวมา จะมีก็เพียงแค่ ให้ผลทางด้านจิตใจ ช่วยให้ผ่อนคลายเท่านั้น ส่วนต่างประเทศ มีรายงานอันตรายจากการทำ สปาหูคือ การBurn จากไฟ ที่จุดขณะ ทำสปาหู การเกิดภาวะ อุดตันจาก ขี้ผึ้งร้อนที่ละลายแล้วหยดลงไปในหู และมีบางรายเกิด ภาวะ แก้วหูทะลุได้ จากการศึกษาของประเทศแคนาดา ที่ทำการสำรวจ ผู้ที่เคยทำสปาหู ทั้งสิ้น 122 ราย มีรายงาน</p>
<p>- การบาดเจ็บจากการ Burn 13 ราย<br />
- มีการอุดตันของรูหู จากขี้ผึ้งของเทียนสปา 7 ราย<br />
- เกิดภาวะ แก้วหู ทะลุ 1 ราย</p>
<p>ปัญหาและอันตรายจากการทำสปาหู</p>
<p>1. ข้อความ &#8221; สปาหู&#8221; เป็นข้อความที่ใช้โฆษณาเกินจริง จากการข้อมูลการแบ่งแยกประเภท ของสถานประกอบการ ซึ่งมี 3 ประเภท ตามที่กล่าวมาแล้วนั้น คำว่าสปาจะใช้ได้ ต่อเมื่อสถานประกอบการนั้นผ่านการรับรองมาตรฐาน ทั้ง 5 ด้าน โดยสถานประกอบการสปาเพื่อสุขภาพหมายถึงการประกอบกิจการที่ให้การดูแลและเสริมสร้างสุขภาพและการใช้น้ำเพื่อสุขภาพ โดยบริการหลักที่จัดไว้ให้ประกอบด้วย การนวดเพื่อสุขภาพ และการใช้น้ำเพื่อสุขภาพโดยอาจมีบริการเสริมประกอบด้วย เช่น การอบเพื่อสุขภาพ การออกกำลังกายเพื่อสุขภาพ โภชนบำบัด และการควบคุมอาหาร โยคะและการทำสมาธิ การใช้สมุนไพรหรือผลิตภัณฑ์เพื่อสุขภาพ เพื่อเป็นบริการเสริมจากการนวด จึงจะสามารถเปิดเป็นสปาเพื่อสุขภาพได้ กล่าวได้ว่า กรรมวิธีการใช้เทียนจุดแล้วสอดเข้าช่องหู จึงไม่เข้าข่ายว่าเป็นสปาหู ได้จึงไม่ควรใช้ข้อความ &#8220;สปา &#8221; กับการให้บริการชนิดนี้และไม่ควรจะมีการให้บริการชนิดนี้อยู่สถานประกอบการเพื่อสุขภาพ ซึ่งอยู่ในความกำกับควบคุมดูแล ของกรมสนับสนุนบริการสุขภาพ</p>
<p>2. วัสดุอุปกรณ์ที่ใช้ในการทำสปาหู ยัง ไม่มีหน่วยงานใดเข้ามาคุ้มครองมามาตรฐานในการผลิตไม่มีการยอมรับว่าวัสดุที่นำมาใช้เป็นวัสดุที่ทำมาอย่างมีคุณภาพ สามารถนำมาทำได้โดยไม่เกิดอันตรายได้อย่างไร และอาจเข้าข่ายเป็นเครื่องมือแพทย์ 3. ผู้ให้บริการไม่มีความรู้ความสามารถเพียงพอและไม่มีมาตรฐานในการให้บริการ และการกระทำดังกล่าวเข้าข่ายการประกอบโรคศิลปะตามมาตรา 4 โดยอาศัยศาสตร์หรือความรู้จากต่างประเทศ ซึ่งการให้บริการในประเทศไทยต้องได้รับอนุญาต ตาม พระราชบัญญัติ การประกอบโรคศิลปะ พ.ศ.2542 ปัจจุบันยังไม่มีการศึกษาอย่างชัดเจนในศาสตร์นี้ ในประเทศไทย แต่มีภาคเอกชน ผู้ประกอบการได้ตั้งเป็นสถาบันสอนฝึกอบรบโดยที่หลักสูตรที่ไม่ผ่านการรับรองจากคณะกรรมการสถานประกอบการกลาง ของกรมสนับสนุนบริการสุขภาพ กระทรวงสาธารณสุข บางแห่งมีการขายเทียนหูพร้อมกับสอนวิธีการทำเพื่อนำไปใช้เองที่บ้านได้ หรือบอกต่อๆ กัน ก็สามารถทำได้แล้ว แต่ไม่ถูกวิธี ซึ่งการกระทำดังกล่าว เข้าข่ายการประกอบโรค ศิลปะได้ เมื่อผู้ให้บริการไม่มีความรู้ความชำนาญ ก็เกิดผลเสียต่อผู้รับบริการได้</p>
<p>4. มีการโอ้อวด การโฆษณาเกินจริงอ้างว่าสามารถบำบัด รักษาโรคต่างๆ ได้หลายโรคทำให้ประชาชนหลงผิดเสียเงินเพื่อไปทำ แต่ไม่สามารถแก้ปัญหาสุขภาพได้</p>
<p>5. อาจก่อให้เกิดอันตรายต่อหูได้ ในการทำโดยผู้ที่ไม่มีความชำนาญและไม่ระมัดระวังอาจเกิดอาการไหม้จากความร้อนที่ใช้จุดเทียนและอาจเกิดขี้ผึ้งร้อนหยดลงไปในหูเกิดภาวะขี้ผึงร้อนของเทียนหยดลงในช่องหู เป็นอันตรายต่อช่องหู ทำให้หูอักเสบได้</p>

<p>นอกจากนั้นสำนักงานส่งเสริมธุรกิจบริการสุขภาพ โดยกรมสนับสนุนบริการสุขภาพ ได้กำหนดแผนการส่งเสริมพัฒนาธุรกิจบริการสุขภาพ โดยเฉพาะสปาเพื่อสุขภาพให้มีคุณภาพตามมาตรฐาน เข้าสู่มาตรฐานสถานประกอบการสากล โดยมีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อเพิ่มขีดความสามารถการแข่งขันในระดับนานาประเทศ ซึ่งเป็นกลยุทธ์หนึ่งที่จะทำให้สถานประกอบการเพื่อสุขภาพมีมาตรฐานที่สูงขึ้นกว่ามาตรฐานตามประกาศกระทรวงสาธารณสุข สามารถตอบสนองความต้องการของผู้ที่มาใช้บริการที่มีความแตกต่างกันออกไปตลอดจนเป็นการสร้างรายได้เพิ่มขึ้นให้กับประเทศ และทำให้ไทยเป็นศูนย์กลางของสุขภาพ เอเชีย กรมสนับสนุนบริการสุขภาพจึงทำเกณฑ์มาตรฐานรองรับคุณภาพสถานประกอบการสปาเพื่อสุขภาพ เพื่อจะได้นำไปจัดระดับของสถานประกอบการเพื่อสุขภาพ แบ่งเป็น 3 ระดับได้แก่ Platinum , Gold และ Silver ทำให้ผู้บริโภคสามารถเลือกได้ตามความต้องการ โดยสถานประกอบการสปาเพื่อสุขภาพที่สนใจสามารถดูรายละเอียดการสมัครได้ที่ www.thaispa.go.th</p>

<description><![CDATA[The unexpected is one of the bonuses of reviewing. And so it was at the Strelitzia Spa at Patong]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The unexpected is one of the bonuses of reviewing. And so it was at the Strelitzia Spa at Patong&#8217;s Grand Tropicana Hotel.Strelitzia Spa itself remains, nevertheless, unexpected; there&#8217;s no doubt that some of the best brains in spa design were brought in to get it right. On an upper floor of the hotel, you could be forgiven for imagining yourself outside in a shady tropical garden. Clever use of terracotta-coloured walls of natural, unpainted plaster, black slate, stones, tropical plants in abundance and other ‘outside&#8217; materials, together with concealed and diffused lighting, create the effect. But steering clear of the single disadvantage of any outside pursuit in the tropics, Strelitzia Spa is, of course, beautifully airconditioned.</p>
<p>At Strelitzia Spa, if you opt for one of the spa packages, your first port of call after a classic Phuket spa reception &#8211; browsing the ‘menu&#8217;, selecting your preferred essential oil, a gentle but stimulating foot bath and scrub &#8211; is your own private, luxuriously appointed treatment room. Here you undress and shower in the room&#8217;s ‘garden&#8217;, then don the soft voluminous robe supplied, ready to head for the steam room, led by your personal therapist who takes care of you from the moment you arrive.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry about losing track of time. After 10 minutes, your therapist appears to ask if you&#8217;re ready to move on to the heated jacuzzi. Once there, again left to yourself, you luxuriate in a whirlpool bath that has the jets tuned perfectly, chipping away gently at those knotted muscles. A polite tap on the door means it&#8217;s time for the main event. In my case, a two hour package called Sensory Indulgence, which includes a Mangosteen Cream Scrub, followed by the Grand Tropicana Massage.<br />
Back in the treatment room, another garden shower then into the body scrub, performed with rhythmic strokes, neither too firm nor too soft. Drifting pleasantly, an hour passed; &#8220;Please relax for 10 minutes said my charming therapist, allow the cream to work into your skin.&#8221; I did. After showering off the mangosteen cream, my skin felt as though it belonged to someone else; someone appreciably younger. Not a bad start!</p>
<p>The Grand Tropicana Massage is something I&#8217;m surprised has not been developed before. Combining the best (for me that means the least painful) features of traditional Thai massage with the flowing movements of Swedish massage and the essential oils of aromatherapy, this is without doubt one of the best, most invigorating yet relaxing treatments I have experienced.</p>
<p>Great design, superb functionality, highly trained and delightful therapists, imaginative treatments. Strelitzia Spa is among the best. Located just across from the Holiday Inn hotel, it&#8217;s within easy reach of everyone staying in Patong and well worth the journey for those further afield. This one is destined to be a Phuket favourite.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Tips for the Novices The proliferation of spas has more people heading for regular massages, facials]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Tips for the Novices<br />
The proliferation of spas has more people heading for regular massages, facials and body wraps than ever before. Men, in particular are increasingly eager to improve their appearance and reap the health benefits that a trip to the spa can bring. Here&#8217;s some top spa tips for spa novices interested in taking the plunge.Feet First<br />
Let your feet do the resting. A foot reflexology massage targets pressure points on the feet to relieve tension from head to toe.</p>
<p>Saving Face<br />
You only have one face, so treat it beautifully. Aviva offer facials designed specifically for ladies and men.There is a wide range of facial treatments to choose, from the basic to the exquisite. Let our spa consultant recommends the right program for you, regardless of your sex, age or skin condition.</p>
<p>Skin Deep<br />
Ensure deep skin cleansing with treatments like the MarineWeed Scrubs and MudWraps which involve skin brushing, gentle exfoliation, relaxing scalp massage and an application of warm algae, rich in minerals and enzymes. Helps reduce water retention, boost metabolism and eliminate toxins.</p>
<p>Body Bliss<br />
Heighten bodily sensory responses with special oil treatments. Aviva offers the Botanis and Aromis Body Massage with specially blended essential and herbal oils, applied in a full-body aromatherapy massage.</p>
<p>Taking The Waters<br />
Experience a hydrotherapy treatment in a tub and you will feel invigorated all over. For the first-timer, 15 minutes is all you need as the treatment really gets your blood circulation going. You can choose a Detoxifying with Mineral Salts, Energising Yang with Ginseng or Refreshing with Green Tea. This &#8220;taking the waters&#8221; spa ritual dated back to the Romans and has been updated since.</p>
<p>Flying High<br />
Don&#8217;t let long-haul flights bring you down. Counter jet-lag quickly and effectively with our JetLag Reliever. This treatment promotes speedy recovery after air travel and includes a SkinRefresh Spa Facial and an invigorating Aromis Head &#38; Shoulder Massage. We are just a few minutes away from Changi Airport by taxi.</p>
<p>Off the Hook<br />
Escape that persistent cell phone a while and find focus in a Retreat Meditation Space. Busy executives can relax in a leather recliner surrounded by natural and soothing sounds and indulge in the luxury of uninterrupted peace in a sanctuary that is close to nature itself.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8220;Spa Enthusiast&#8221; magazine offers these tips for making the most of your spa visit:- Try to come at off-peak hours. Your spa experience may be more relaxing and leisurely when you&#8217;re there at a less crowded time.</p>
<p>- Explore the possibilities. Ask for a full description of any treatment that sounds intriguing. Be open to experimentation. That&#8217;s how you&#8217;ll find new treatments to enjoy.</p>
<p>- Get advice regarding scheduling. If you plan on having more than one treatment, ask if the spa has recommendations regarding the order in which you receive them. Choosing the right sequence may enhance your pleasure. Some facials are more suitable before a body treatment, and some are more appropriate afterward. Many spas will have packages that give you the treatments in the most appropriate order.</p>
<p>- Share your personal health history. The spa can help you plan accordingly. If you have conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or lupus, you should get your doctor&#8217;s okay for any treatment you&#8217;d like to try. People with high blood pressure or a heart condition may want to avoid body wraps or any treatment that involves heat or detoxification. Those with varicose veins may want to avoid heat treatments to those areas, and people with iodine allergies should avoid marine products such as seaweed. Pregnant women should avoid essential oils and anything that could raise body temperature, such as body wraps, saunas/steambaths and Jacuzzis.</p>
<p>- Mention any prescription drugs you are using in order to avoid any services or products that might irritate your skin or otherwise be harmful.</p>
<p>- Anticipate how the treatment will fit into your other plans. For example, if you&#8217;re having a facial treatment that may leave your skin temporarily irritated or blotchy, you may not want to go to a romantic dinner afterward.</p>
<p>- Allow enough time for your visit. Plan to spend a least 15 minutes sipping a beverage, relaxing, and chatting or enjoying some solitude. And try not to rush yourself at the end of your visit. This way you won&#8217;t have to be concerned if your visit takes a little longer than you anticipated, and you&#8217;ll prolong the pleasure of relaxation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Some years ago while on holiday in Thailand, Bobby Duchowny visited an organic farm in Petchaboon province and became interested in the natural healing properties of Thai herbs and spices.</p>
<p>&#8220;Bobby Duchowny studied aromatherapy &#8211; a healing art that promotes massage, when combined with specific herb and spice oils, as a method to reduce stress, boost energy and heal certain physical ailments &#8211; at the American Aromatherapy Association.</p>
<p>&#8220;Some years ago while on holiday in Thailand, he visited an organic farm in Petchaboon province and became interested in the natural healing properties of Thai herbs and spices.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was particularly attracted to lemon grass as it was used in many popular Thai foods, as a medicine for stomach disorders and even as a repellent for mosquitoes,&#8221; he recalls.</p>
<p>Bobby used lemon grass as his signature herb to create a line of essential oils, face and body creams, shower gels and bath crystals, which he and his wife Palita sold at Bangkok&#8217;s world-famous Weekend Market.<br />
&#8220;Our advantage is that we produce the freshest spa products and our stock is never kept longer than three months; using fresh spa products is like eating fresh food rather than processed food.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Based on his years experiences at some of the top spas in Southeast Asia, Bobby has developed a full line of healthy skin care products. For example, his hydrating face and body creams have 25 per cent aloe vera, white orchid and cucumber extracts. And he&#8217;s developed a revitalizing mineral muscle soak made from Andaman sea salt crystals, blended with white orchid and chamomile extracts, to help draw out impurities and soothe and revive tense muscles.</p>
<p>&#8220;People are sensitive to different scents at different times of day. It&#8217;s a good idea to get a variety of essential oils and experiment with what smells and feels good,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Our aromatherapy massage and body oils can be either uplifting or calming to the spirit. They&#8217;re carefully balanced hand blended oils created by adding fragrant pure essential oils to nourishing, vitamin E enriched, sweet almond and jojoba base oils.</p>
<p>&#8220;Other therapies include a Thai tanaka and seaweed face mask used for centuries in Asia as a rejuvenator for skin damaged by the sun. But the Lemongrass House foundation is built on the fragrant, highly concentrated essential oils that are volatile extracts of flowers, leaves, spices, fruits, woods and roots, each with its own benefits to the body and mind.</p>
<p>&#8220;Lemongrass House on Phuket is located across from Surin Beach. Here Bobby and Palita offer their full range of spa products at modest prices, making perfect gifts for friends and family who can enjoy the aromatic scents of Asia in the privacy of their homes &#8211; no matter where in the world they live.</p>

A variety of instruments and techniques are used to practice Sound Therapy.  A few amongst them are: Tuning forks, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal bowls and Gongs. </p>
<p>Different therapists use these equipments in different ways. The vibrations produced by these instruments are believed to clear blocked energy, bring relaxation, and alleviate pain.  Sound therapy is also used in combination with  conventional spa treatments to increase their benefit.   </p>
<p>In addition to being a current trend in spas, Sound Therapy is also known for its healing effect on children.  It helps improve their concentration and reduces restlessness and aggression.  As various spas have geared up to become family destinations,  sound therapy is gaining in popularity with this young market as well.</p>
