Creating A Spa Refuge - 5 Wellness Tips from Duravit

Ah.....the place where you can leave all the stresses of the day behind, your own personal spa bath at home with Duravit. 

 
"The baths and whirlpools from Duravit  offer you not only an exhilarating experience in the bath, but highly agreeable after effects too. The air bubbles stimulate the blood circulation, while the water massage stimulates bloodflow throughout.  You feel carefree and relaxed, tenseness and aches are soothed away."

Duravit, "Living bathrooms for living people" has created these 5-Tips for relaxation when creating your own personal spa experience at home.   Enjoy!

1. The best bath time Taking a bath after 9 o'clock in the evening is an ideal way to really relax. The bath should not be any warmer than 98.6F.  Optimal bath is 15 minutes, afterwards you can fall asleep totally contented.


2. A bath that is too hot makes you sluggish  Hot bath temperatures - above 100.4F - cause the heart to beat faster and make you feel weary, and lethargic.   Your skin loses at least 20% of its natural oils, even if moisturizing bath products are used.  Just cool the water down a little for the perfect spa experience!


3. Health Aspects As well as the feeling of well-being, Duravit places great importance on the health aspect of relaxing in your bath.  The effects of temperature, and the feeling of weightlessness can play an important role in treating circulation problems, and other muscular mobility issues. Immersion in water with its' support for body weight, provides well-deserved relief for joints and muscles.


4. Adding Scent Scents and fragrances can create positive emotions and moods, and directly affect our sense of well being.  The effects of pure ethereal oils can be obtained by adding them to the bath or using an aroma lamp.  For relieving colds, headaches and muscle pain, think about adding eucalyptus, lemon balm, or pine scented oil.  The invigorating pleasant scents of orange oil and vanilla will help to revive both body and spirit!

5. Variety at Bath Time - with a few extras
      *add a bath pillow to support your head, relaxing your shoulders and neck
      *Turn on the active jets in the whirlpool bath - well worth the investment!
      *opt for one of Duravit's two-person baths, enjoy with candle light and your favorite CD  (and your favorite person!)
      *light (carefully) candles, and turn down the bright lights
