Aromatherapy for the Mind and Body

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012

Take a deep breath. Now say “Ahh….” When stress takes a toll, it’s important to stop and smell the roses. But when it comes to aromatherapy fragrances, why stop at roses?

Aromatherapy offers a natural and therapeutic way toward self-healing through essential oils. While most commonly inhaled using diffusers, a refreshing new trend combines the oils with steam to promote even deeper relaxation. ThermaSol, a company best known for their home steam showers, takes this trend a step further by offering a line of certified organic Essential and Precious Reserve Oils. Just add two to four drops to the steamhead reservoir during a steam session and breathe easy. The steambath increases circulation and brings toxins to the surface, cleaning the pores with perspiration and the aromatherapy-infused steam. Together this combination hydrates dull skin and refreshes the body and mind.

From relaxing to energizing, ThermaSol offers a variety of Essential Oils, but which scent is right for you? Here’s a full list and the different properties they offer.

Today’s stunning bathrooms have built on decades of innovation in the fields of design and technology; perhaps nowhere is this more evident than the shower and the bath. Homeowners today have a plethora of shower and bath options that they never could have dreamed of a decade ago, or in some instance, even a few short years ago.

New Virtual Spa Attendant

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

In an era that delivers smart appliances that can be programmed to take notes, generate recipe ideas, calculate cooking times and heat food at warp speed, we are always amazed at what manufacturers are able to create to further the technology in the automated home. While many of the innovations have taken place in the kitchen, the bath is getting tech-savvy too.

In the kitchen where the demand for products that speed up the cooking process are created – in the bathroom, it’s all about slowing things down, relaxing and achieving a Zen-like state. Luxury steam shower manufacturer ThermaSol now has a Virtual Spa Attendant which confirms your selections via voice response. This feature now comes with their Serenity Light & Music System as it delivers the ultimate steam shower experience.

When you change a setting or select a new program you now have the option to be notified by your Virtual Spa Attendant. When you are adjusting the temperature of your steam shower, adjusting your music system’s volume, bass, treble, radio station or any other setting, you now have the ability to cycle through these settings with your eyes closed as your Virtual Spa Attendant announces your settings. If you prefer a candle lit steam or having the lights off while you enjoy your color therapy system you will no longer have to worry about turning the lights back on to change your settings as the spa attendant will speak to you to while you adjust your temperature and settings. The Virtual Spa Attendant can also be programmed to give you voice-automated commands like, “Hot steam activated please be seated,” “10 minutes remaining,” or “Steam system is shutting down.”

Locate a ThermaSol Steam Shower dealer near you.
