Treat Loved Ones To a Spa Day in a Bathroom Oasis

Waking up in the morning on a weekend and dipping the body into a warm, freshly scented bath or standing underneath a rain shower that gently kisses the skin in a soft caress is the perfect reason to start a shower installation project or bathtub installation if one isn't currently in the bathroom of the home.

Benefits of Luxury Bathing Routines

Hydrotherapy has been practiced all over the world for centuries. Hot water can reduce blood pressure, while cold water can alleviate muscle strain from prolonged use or exercise.

Taking a hot bath can make the heart beat faster during the bath, and long-term use of hot water treatments can improve overall heart health. Steam from hot water can improve sinus and lung function by clearing mucus.

Colder baths can improve skin health and elasticity, especially if specialized bath salts or oils are used that aim at skin hydration. Properly hydrated skin can reduce fine lines and wrinkles as the body ages.

Put Some Color Into the Routine

Chromatherapy creates a soothing bathing experience customized to the individual using specialized tools. Chromatherapy is color therapy that uses colored lighting to set certain moods. Color therapy can play a huge role in emotions, mood, depression, and overall mental health.

Ancient Egyptian and Chinese healthcare practices encouraged hydro and chromotherapy to heal the body and mind. Light is received as different frequencies and wavelengths perceived as vibrations by the brain, translating into various mood factors.

  • Warmth: Warm hues like red, yellow, and orange can improve circulation and appetite while reducing inflammation and boosting the nervous system. Happy and cheerful feelings are felt, as well as improving motivation.
  • Cooling: Cool hues include blue, green, white, and purple. These colors release tension and calm the mind. Positive emotional impacts are felt while creating balance or harmony within. Anxiety is calmed while the problem-solving center is activated. Calming hues also help with clarity of thought and headaches.

Relaxing Rain Shower Treatments

Shower replacement is common as houses age and families mature but stay in the same home. Not everyone enjoys baths or has time for them but still wants an opportunity to relax in a spa-like setting.

Showers can have built-in lighting and speakers that can change the shower environment's hue and pump soothing music into the shower to set the mood. Smart showerheads can change the shower's color or monitor how much water has been used. Rainfall showerheads are large enough to encompass the entire body and can be multi-directional by adding multiple showerheads in the wall and overhead.

Some services offer aromatherapy options in shower melts or shower bombs, scented soaps and scrubs, exfoliating tools, shower head inserts, and detoxifying options.
