Our special bathing treatments

Hay bathing

Hay bathing consists of being wrapped up in fermenting hay and fresh herbs. During this treatment temperatures can reach 40 to 70 degrees Celsius in order to stimulate a physiological transpiration which persists even after the treatment. The heat and humidity help release essential oils from the herbs which are then absorbed by the body.

Hay bathing has been know for centuries and it originates when farmers used to cut the grass and then sleep on the hay after a long day’s work. They would then feel completely refreshed as the hay managed to help them get rid of the fatigue and exhaustion caused by their physical work.

The actual wrapping phase lasts for 15-20 min. The guest is then wrapped in sheets and moved to a lounger next door to the wet area.

Benefits

Hay bathing gives a physical sense of wellbeing due to the relaxation caused by the heat and the electrolyte exchange caused by the transpiration. The skin acquires tonicity thanks to the stimulation of the peripheral circulation and the absorption of the essential oils contained in the fresh herbs. Indicated for those suffering from rheumatism, sleep disorders, muscle contractures, etc.

Salt bathing

 Salt is a fundamental element for obtaining a draining and anti-cellulite action … Think of the beneficial properties of sea water on the skin: it smoothes the skin, relieves acne and dermatitis and is a help for those suffering from psoriasis. For the principle of osmosis, the salt draws towards itself, that is towards the outside, the liquids retained in the skin tissues which will then be eliminated through the venous and lymphatic circulation. The time required for the salt to perform its draining function is 15-20 minutes of complete relaxation.
