Introducing: Douglasville Heroes

A visit to The Green Tree Day Spa is a journey of relaxation and wellness.  Everyone has stressful or intense times in their lives. A little pampering re-energizes us, helps to reduce stress, and keeps you healthy enough to tackle more goals. It is a chance to let everything that has happened in the past year, and all the impending responsibilities of the next year, simply melt away.

We would like to thank our Douglasville Heroes for taking the time to help the community. We are accepting letters of recognition, which will then be voted upon by our staff each quarter.  We are extremely proud to give the chosen nominee our signature massage, an essential facial, a spa lunch, and a goodie bag to take home.  It is our way of showing thanks for your involvement in civic duties, for the advances you have made in the community, and for your inner beauty.

We are asking you to please take a few minutes to nominate a community hero for a free day at the spa. If you have any questions, please email us.

Ultimate Home Relaxation

The Green Tree is results driven.  We strive to give you a desired outcome, whether it be a knot in your back, clearing inflammation, or providing good old fashioned relaxation.  Stress is detrimental to all aspects of life.  It can seem like "fluff," but the chemicals released in the body due to stress actually lead to a lot of the problems we see everyday.  The following list can help to further the results you receive from a visit with us.

1.  Take a deep breath.  Worrying about the future can keep you from living in the present moment.  Making a conscious effort to focus on breathing connects the mind and body.  Find a quiet, relaxing part of your house and sit with your back straight.  Take some time for you to gather your thoughts, then allow them to melt away with every breath.

2. Use aromatherapy to promote healing.   Our sense of smell is the greatest link to memory.  Some aromas are energizing, while others soothe and relax.  Lavender, chamomile, geranium, jasmine, and ylang ylang are relaxing scents.  Put a few drops in a bubble bath for a calming effect.   Essential oils can also be mixed with pure distilled water, placed in a spritzing bottle, and sprayed on your bed.  

3. Take a bath.  Warm water helps to soothe muscles.  Our personal favorite bath bombs are hand made with shea butter and sea salt for incredibly soft, smooth skin.  Light candles for ultimate relaxation. 

4. Try different lotions and potions for muscle soreness.  Apply lotion liberally, slowly pressing on the muscles.  Ask your massage therapist for specific movements you can do at home for your personal needs.  Biofreeze products are classified as topical analgesics, which work through a ‘counter irritant’ mechanism. The menthol in Biofreeze creates a sensation that overrides pain signals to the brain. This process blocks the nerves containing pain signals to the brain

5. Enjoy quality time with loved ones.  Playing with your kids, husband, or puppy takes stress off impending responsibilities.  Before going into veg mode or work mode when you get home, take a moment to appreciate time with loved ones.  Laughter relaxes the entire body with effects lasting up to 45 minutes.  It increases immune cells and decreases stress hormones.  Take a break and have fun.

6. Stop depriving yourself of necessary vitamins!  Did you know red bell peppers actually have more Vitamin C than an orange?  Next time you are at the grocery store or neighborhood market, pick up fresh fruits and vegetables.  When you're craving a snack, eat something delicious and nutritious.  The energy you will get from eating well can be devoted to the things you really love.

7.  Try something new.  We expect ourselves to be perfect in our craft.  Pressure at work can be combated by trying something without premium expectations.  Make a new recipe, dabble at art, or attempt a fishtail braid a la Pinterest.

8.  Watch a movie.  Pick something at random on Netflix or a local RedBox.  Allow your mind to focus on something other than stress.  Release tension with a comedy or challenge yourself with a mystery!   

9.  Work on your gardening skills.  We try to use natural ingredients as often as possible at the spa.  The effects of the ingredients are significantly heightened when products are fresh.  Create your own little garden (or window box) full of fresh herbs. Use them in cooking or for a tincture.

10.  Drink tea.  Tea causes relaxation by reducing cortisol levels.  A warm mug of White Lion tea, a good book, and comfy pajamas is a sure-fire way to a stress free night.

More Tips & Tricks

• Apply creams and gels on clean skin for the best result.
• Even if a product is made of natural ingredients, the essential oils may have an intense fragrance before dissipating.  Apply products with a closed eye to prevent irritation.
• Do not rub products close to the eye.  Keep it low and by the bone.
• Don't underestimate a good night of sleep.  Drink tea and use relaxation techniques to get to enough shut eye.
• Wash your face before going to bed.  Seriously.
• For an immediate anti-fatigue effect or in the event of puffy (swollen) eyelids in the morning, apply a thick layer of cream, keeping your eyes closed for a few moments.
  Let sit 15 minutes, then massage in any excess.
• Thin skin creates dark circles around the eyes.  Eye creams moisturize to firm and soothe the skin.
