Showers and bathtubs are our closest and handiest source of negative ions at home.

The daily use of them cleans and balances our body energy.

Water jets at various heights and bubbles add the massage element to the bath or shower, increasing the relaxation effect.

Water massage therapy can help you relax by increasing blood flow to tense areas (i.e. shoulders, back and neck); increased blood flow relaxes muscles and removes build-up of waste products caused by tension.

Soaking in the warm, soothing waters of a hot tub does not only help with physical ailments. Spas have also been known to improve their owners' quality of life by rejuvenating those who are “stressed out”

Head for a hot tub. When muscles are tight and stiff the day after a workout, nothing beats a hot bath "You don't want to take a bath right after you train, but I'd recommend it several hours afterward," says D'Anne Kleinsmith, M.D. The reason: Heat increases circulation, promoting inflammation. But if you wait a while before taking your bath, you'll get a more soothing effect and less inflammatory action.

Bath Salts

The Dead Sea, known for centuries as nature's best spa, was revered by Cleopatra and the Queen of Sheba for its unique therapeutic qualities - relaxing the mind and body while nourishing and smoothing the skin.

More than just a place to wash, The Japanese Bath is considered to be one of the most important rooms in the house. It is traditionally a place of calm contemplation and deep relaxation...
The idea of taking time and care with one's bath in Japan is as important as taking time and care with the cooking and serving of a meal. There is also a ritual to taking a Japanese bath, a prescribed order of rinsing, washing, and soaking that is passed down from one generation to the next.

What kind of water do your use for bathing?

Did you know that: one half of our daily chlorine exposure is from showering?

Not only is chlorine absorbed through the skin, it also vaporizes in the shower, and it's inhaled into the lungs and transferred directly into your blood system. People who drink water containing chlorine have been found to have a higher risk of bladder cancer by researchers.
