The History of
the Spa Hot Tub
The history of spa hot tubs (spa's) can be
traced to back before the recording of history records. A time when early man made use of
the earth's natural hot water springs. These hot water springs fed streams and pools,
which were used for warmth and natural treatment by early man and woman. Early man was
well aware of the healing properties of natural hot water springs.
Ancient Egyptians used hot water baths for
therapeutic value. As early as 600 B.C., Phraortes (King of Media) built one of the first
known spa hot tubs.
Great philosophers of Greece also make
mention of the therapeutic value of hot water. Grecians were known to have built
structures around hot water springs.
The Roman Empire also made use of the
earth's natural hot water springs by constructing stone chambers and temples around these
hot water outlets, some time before the second century (Click here to visit the
Roman Jacuzzi Spa Hot Tub Bath website). Then
eventually, the Roman spa baths of present day Bath, culminated into a large complex with
multiple spa hot tubs and bathing areas.
By the mid 1900s, the first true jacuzzi spa
hottub as we know then today were built using oak barrels. Today the spa hot tubs come in
a range of shapes and styles, made from various materials.
