Ishga Treatments Launch at Norton House Hotel & Spa

Hand Picked Hotels is to launch a new menu of indulgent spa treatments based on local skin-care range ishga, at Norton House Hotel & Spa this month. 

Each treatment will incorporate the award-winning 100% organic products; comprised of mineral rich seaweed, healing spring water, Aloe Vera and cucumber extract. 

The varied menu of ishga branded treatments will include facials, massages and a seaweed body wrap, to name just a few.  Seaweed has been used for centuries for its natural healing and therapeutic properties and contains a high content of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and natural antioxidants that are considered essential for maintaining healthy, youthful, glowing skin. 

In addition to the range of ishga treatments, the spa also boasts an intimate Rasul mud chamber, perfect for those looking for an extra special treat. The hotel’s health club also benefits from a stunning 18m deck level swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, along with a sauna and steam room and fully equipped fitness suite. 

Ronnie MacKay, General Manager of Norton House Hotel & Spa, said: “The ishga products are a great addition to our well-loved spa. We’re always keen to use locally sourced products and the 100% organic seaweed in the ishga range fits perfectly with our ethos.”

To celebrate the arrival of the ishga treatments, Norton House Hotel & Spa is inviting guests to enjoy a full day in the spa, with a complimentary glass of champagne, a leisurely afternoon tea and a choice of a 55 minute ishga spa treatment (choices include a Hot Stone Full Body Massage, Facial or Seaweed Wrap), from £72 per person until 30th June 2014. 

Built in 1840 and set in 55 acres of grounds, Norton House Hotel & Spa in Edinburgh, is a four-star deluxe country hotel, featuring a three AA rosette restaurant.
