More and more people are turning to alternative therapies and spas for preventative health care and healing. The gap between health and beauty industries is narrowing more each day as more beauty professionals realize that the health aspects of spa treatments are just as important as beauty and pampering. On the other hand, health practitioners are realizing they need to begin to view the body as a whole and treat the symptom as well as the disease.
Значение понятно, но никак не могу сформулировать :)) спасибо!
Explanation: Вообще-то to pamper это холить и лелеять :-). Но в Вашем контексте о переводе нужно десять раз подумать.

It is a very difficult term to translate. Perhaps the following will get you started in the right direction. Best of luck, really. TRANSITIVE VERB:Inflected forms: pam·pered, pam·per·ing, pam·pers 1. To treat with excessive indulgence: pampered their child. 2. To give in to; gratify: He pampered his ambition for wealth and fame. 3. Archaic To indulge with rich food; glut. ETYMOLOGY: Middle English pamperen, probably of Low German origin. OTHER FORMS: pamper·er —NOUN
SYNONYMS: pamper, indulge, humor, spoil, coddle, mollycoddle, baby These verbs all mean to cater excessively to someone or to his or her desires or feelings. To pamper is to gratify appetites, tastes, or desires: “He was pampering the poor girl\'s lust for singularity and self-glorification” (Charles Kingsley). Indulge suggests a kindly or excessive lenience in yielding especially to wishes or impulses better left unfulfilled: “You musn\'t think because I indulge you in some things that you can keep everyone waiting” (Theodore Dreiser, Sister Carrie 1900.) Humor implies compliance with or accommodation to another\'s mood or idiosyncrasies: “Human life is . . . but like a froward child, that must be played with and humored a little to keep it quiet till it falls asleep” (William Temple). Spoil implies excessive indulgence that adversely affects the character, nature, or attitude: “He seems to be in no danger of being spoilt by good fortune” (George Gissing). Coddle and mollycoddle point to tender, overprotective care that often leads to weakening of character: “I would not coddle the child” (Samuel Johnson). Stop mollycoddling me; I\'m a grown person. Baby suggests the indulgence and attention one might give to an infant: “I should like to be made much of, and tended—yes, babied” (Adeline D.T. Whitney).
