Aroma Steam

Brine Cavern
The combination of steam and salt is the ideal remedy that opens up the nasal passage. The body temperature gradually increases, to gently strengthen the circulatory system and initiate a purifying process.
Bucket Drench Shower

Try this age-old unique hydrotherapy as one is drenched from head to toe with a massive amount of water falling from a bucket feature and enjoy the invigorating experience.
Grotto Steam
This is an ideal introduction for a first detoxifying treatment. High humidity steam gently warms the body to stimulate blood circulation while the mind slowly relaxes as the therapeutic aroma infuses the cabin.
