The Spa Of Embarrassing Illnesses
The Spa Of Embarrassing Illnesses is a haven for the socially stigmatised, people who suffer from society's most embarrassing and intimate body "illnesses".
As the Daily Telegraph puts it the spa deals with "woes that have touched all our lives: feelings of low self-esteem and romantic heartbreak."
These inspirational series follows the emotional journeys of a group of people who suffer painful and socially embarrassing conditions. Leading nutritionist Amanda Hamilton and her team of specialists devise for each resident a specially tailored programme which includes detoxing, yoga, nutrition therapy, massage, meditation, counselling, Xi gong, reflexology and modern psychotherapy techniques such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). The aim in all cases will be to detoxify, rejuvenate and deal with the root cause of their ailments, rather than simply masking them with quick and easy remedies.
Series1 takes us to Spain's beautiful Andalusian mountains where we meet Jordine, a pretty blonde living with hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating); Tracy, whose life is blighted by the skin condition psoriasis and Amie, who suffers irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
In Series 2 we travel to a tranquil setting in the mountains of Turkey where we meet beautiful Mujde, whose joie de vivre masks the huge unhappiness caused by vaginismus, and Kathy, whose menorrhagia (excessive menstrual bleeding) has made her life a living hell for seven years.
Series 3 takes place in the breathtaking French Alps where Amanda and her team treat seven patients whose ailments include alopecia, migraines, constipation and PMT.
Can Amanda and her team succeed in turning around the patients' lives? Will they be able to face the world without fear or embarrassment? Join us on their journeys to find out.
