Our health sleuth investigates the curative claims of wellbeing retreats worldwide
The spa: An ESPA centre with an emphasis on complete rest and relaxation.

The symptoms: Oh, the usual - emotional turmoil, jangled nerves, tension, constant churning of stomach…
The prescription: To unwind, my therapist recommended a slow swim in the softly lit indoor pool, followed by 45 minutes - uncoiling in the thermal suite, with sauna, steam room and vitality pool (free of charge to spa guests), followed by a two-hour bespoke Chakra-balancing treatment involving volcanic hot stones, acupressure, gentle stretching and head massage (£149).
The procedure: Spa Spy is more inclined to unwind with a brisk walk rather than some half-digested Eastern philosophies, so this was a revelation. My therapist asked rigorous questions about my lifestyle (plenty of water, but too much booze and not enough exercise) and personality (impatient), and her treatments chimed with what I told her.
The hot stones felt like whispers of silk that warmed me to the core and settled my stomach.
