Turkish Bath
Benefits: organic and metabolic cellular stimulation, raising the immune system’s defences, cutaneous cellular renewal and soothing dry skin.
Encourages deep cleaning and purification of the skin, good for the respiratory system, has toning and relaxing effects and reduces stress.
When you feel your temples pulsing, it is time to end the steam bath and have a quick cold shower; followed, if you wish, by another steam bath. The alternations in temperature are essential for getting good bodily reactions.
Temperature: 40-50°C – Recommended time: 10-15 minutes per session – Frequency: no more than 4 sessions per week
The relative humidity is 100%, forming a mist of layered temperatures, from 20-25°C at the floor level, up to 40-50°C at head level.
Sweating is less intense than in a very hot and dry environment like a sauna, but since the duration is longer, the end result often is that there is more total perspiration. Normally associated with massages, this is a time of relaxation and true well-being.
Contraindications: persons with cardiovascular disorders should avoid the steam bath.
Sensory of experience showers
Jets of scented water with orange essential oils and cold mist scented with mint.
Benefits: refreshing showers in which the combination of fragrances and colour effects take you to a dimension where body and spirit meet, relieving tension and preparing you for various baths and applications. The experience shower is a place that lets you enjoy unique sensations and gentle caresses.
The experience shower, recommended immediately after a sauna, is a jet of cool, nebulised water combined with the benefits of chromotherapy.
This new type of shower has completely revolutionised the concept we had until recently of the shower as a short and fast alternative to a bath in a traditional tub. There is nothing better, after a long sauna or after a hot steam bath, than being surrounded by a micro-nebulised shower of very fine water droplets enhanced by the sensations of fragrances, lights and sounds that both relax and provide new vigour to your body and mind.
The shower is very useful for refreshing the body, giving the skin the right level of hydration and restoring the right vascular tone to the circulatory system.
Temperature: 15-38°C – Recommended time: 5 minutes – Frequency as desired, independently before and after the various baths or applications.
Sauna
Benefits: bodily and metabolic stimulation, removal of toxins, cellular exchange and treatment of damp skin problems, benefits to the entire neuro-regenerative system.
The sauna originated in Finland, where it has been practised since 1100, not just as a time for pleasure and relaxation, but also as treatment in pursuit of clinical results, as happens for example in thermal centres, and thus requires specific medical instructions. The most obvious effect of the high temperature is sweating, a natural mechanism that acts to regulate the body’s temperature, keeping it as close as possible to 37°C. Sweating eliminates water and, by increasing the activity of the sebaceous glands, toxic substances. The increase in body temperature has beneficial effects on the musculature, which relaxes and lowers tension.
During the sauna, metabolism* and cardiac frequency increase, there is vasodilation and the blood becomes less ‘viscous’: these reactions facilitate the blood’s circulation in the body.
Heat can also provide benefits to those suffering from respiratory illnesses (bronchitis, sinusitis and chronic rhinitis); it can encourage faster muscular recovery (with facilitated relaxation and discharge of lactic acid), a sedative effect on nerve endings and improved resumption of peripheral circulation. This phase is followed by a bath in cold water, or at least a cold shower.
Temperature: 80-100°C – Recommended time: 10-15 minutes per session – Frequency: 3 sessions max. during one day
Contraindications: those with cardiac and/or blood pressure problems should undergo this treatment only after a doctor’s careful examination
Whirlpool Bath
Tub with hydromassage chaise-lounge, jet benches and platforms, neck jets.
Benefits: gentle vasodilation and vasoconstriction effect, useful for body stimulation. The most effective way to rejuvenate body and mind? Treat yourself to a whirlpool bath. The benefits of hydrotherapy and massage therapy flow together to provide relaxation, pleasure and well-being. Hydromassage can prevent aesthetic problems as well as physical ones.
The water’s temperature is a relaxant and encourages circulation. The air bubbles and the water flow compress and decompress the tissues, providing advantages for blood and lymph circulation. The legs become lighter and less swollen, while the dreaded cellulite is reduced through the massaging pressure of the water. But hydromassage is a real source of well-being for the mind, too. The pressure of the massage stimulates the release of endorphins, which stimulate nerve fibres, generating a feeling of pleasure and relaxation.
Temperature: 36°C – Recommended time: 15-20 minutes – Frequency: 2-3 times per week
Kneipp Course
Alternating hot-cold water baths with plantar massage on a bed of river stones.
Benefits: stimulation of organ reflex points on the sole of the foot with restoration of balance to the entire body, treatment of vascular problems. Through a pleasant massage of the sole of the foot performed with white river pebbles lining the bottom, the so-called ‘muscular pump’ is activated: the muscles of the lower limbs, in contracting and relaxing, ‘express’ the vessels, facilitating the return of blood and thereby reactivating circulation.
Temperature: 15-38°C – Recommended time: 10 minutes – 2 minutes per tub – show walk
