Forget About Your Winter Worries - Retreat to the BainUltra Bathroom Sanctuary

January, 2008 -- Heavy snow, freezing rain, and high wind - the winter cold is upon us. For those who can't escape the chill this season by traveling to a warmer destination, try a retreat to your bathroom.

"We want to envelope ourselves - mind, body and soul - with something warm when the weather gets chilly," said Valerie Parent, director of marketing at Quebec City-based BainUltra. "By creating a home spa environment in your bathroom, you make it the ideal place to unwind during the winter months even if it's below zero outside."

Origami Air Jet Bath

A good hot bath provides special healing powers that revive and rejuvenate during the cold winter months. For instance, BainUltra's Origami air jet bath (pictured above) creates the ideal Zen experience for a winter escape. The bath includes between 38 - 44 air jets that create an unparalleled hydro-thermo massage for either one or two bathers. Bathers can enjoy the unique benefits of chromatherapy lighting to further relax and stimulate the senses.

And with an air jet bath, adding aromatherapy products is a cinch. Just a few drops of essential oil are enough to soothe and re-energize. Use a detoxifier to helps eliminate impurities, a relaxant to promote restful sleep, or a muscle and joint relaxer to take away the winter aches and pains. For example, add Eucalyptus to revive the spirits and ease cough and cold symptoms or lavender to calm the nervous system and clear the mind.

If a shower is more your speed, BainUltra offers the Temazkal®, a therapeutic space inspired by the original Mexican sweat baths. The unit delivers light therapy, Thermotherapy® and aromatherapy and can be a shower. The Temazkal will chase away the winter blues, by revitalizing the skin, stimulating the metabolism, eliminating toxins, and soothing aching muscles.

Even some small changes can go a long way. Try adding plush towels, bright colorful décor, candles and incense or even invest in a heated towel rack to make the most out of your winter retreat.
