How to Take Advantage of and Maximize Your Relaxation Time

Many of us like to enjoy a relaxing bath or shower to end the day. But the last thing you want to feel when you're done is stress. Here some ways to take advantage of and maximize your relaxation time, using: ·Hydrotherapy ·Chromatherapy ·Illumatherapy ·Steam Hydrotherapy Whether you're standing in a shower or lying in a tub, hot water increases the blood flow to your muscles, skin, and extremities. Other benefits include: ·Kick-starting the healing process by increasing the amount of blood flow to sore joints and muscles. ·Slowing down activities of the internal organs, believed to be a reason why warm baths are so calming. ·Improved blood flow helps increase white blood cell circulation to boost your immunity. ·Weightlessness of soaking in a tub takes pressure off your back and joints. Jacuzzi offers four different types of luxury tubs and are all designed to maximize the user's relaxation with distinct hydrotherapy features. Soaking tubs (also sometimes known as garden tubs or non-jetted, non-airpool tubs) are the standard tub you're able to lay and relax in. For a classic design, consider a clawfoot tub. Pure Air tubs can range from a bubbly champagne-like experience to a steady stream of bubbles, depending on the setting. Because the bubbles stimulate your skin's touch receptors, the overall feeling is a relaxing sensory experience while feeling the weightlessness. Whirlpool tubs feature strategically placed jets that target a major muscle group for a full massage. Jacuzzi's Salon Spa tubs are the ultimate in hydrotherapy. Combining Pure Air and Whirlpool technologies, these tubs provide over a dozen unique experiences and can be uniquely tailored for the user. Chromatherapy This is the practice of utilizing color to achieve optimal health. Color has the power to affect how we feel, both physically and emotionally. Since each color has its own wavelength and energy, when we absorb a color, it can create a multi-sensory effect and contribute to our overall well-being. Chromatherapy definitely has its place in the bathroom and it's typically involved with the tub. Once again, Jacuzzi leads the way, installing a pair of LED lights below the water line. These lights provide more than enough colors to choose from and can remain on one color or rotate slowly through the spectrum. Kohler's Sok tub also employs the use of chromatherapy, featuring four LED light ports set within the tub's inner walls. Illumatherapy This is similar to chromatherapy in the sense that it also uses LED lights in the bathing well. The difference is that the light is emitted through jets. The user is totally immersed in the light, and the air bubbles exiting the jet reflect the light. Jacuzzi is the leader of the illumatherapy pack. Steam Like hydrotherapy, immersing yourself in a steam bath or steam shower has been found to have certain health benefits, like: ·Soothed and relaxed muscles ·Temporary relief from arthritis or sore joints ·Opened pores along the skin, helping to eliminate toxins ·Healed dry skin thanks to the moisture Source: build.com
