Thermal Wellness: How to recreate the spa and spa experience at home

Thermal wellness is the sensation of lightness and relaxation of the body and spirit that one experiences after visiting a thermal center. In fact, thermal baths represent a place of relaxation and tranquility, an oasis of peace where the mind and body can regenerate.

Is it possible to recreate the thermal experience at home? 

It’s possible to create a small home spa by setting the right atmosphere and using the right thermal products. For example, you can light candles that diffuse a soft, subdued light, use essential oils that emit pleasant and delicate fragrances, and play soothing music. In addition, you can add thermal bath salts and scented essences to create an atmosphere reminiscent of a thermal bath.

There is nothing more pleasant than immersing oneself in a thermal pool, breathing in the warm and humid air, listening to the sound of water, and feeling the warmth enveloping the body. Everything around us seems to disappear, leaving only a feeling of absolute well-being.

It only takes a few precautions to experience these sensations in your own bathroom, transforming it into a small private spa. Let's see how to do it.

5 tips for creating a home spa to experience thermal wellness at home 

Thermal baths are a true multisensory experience where sight, smell, touch, hearing, and even taste are involved and stimulated. When all these elements are properly stimulated, they lead us towards the so-called thermal synesthesia, which allows us to perceive reality in a different way.

This experience is able to transport your mind to a suspended moment of pleasure and relaxation: the perception of heat and water pressure on the body, the pleasure of feeling the back rubbing against the surface of the tub are unique and unforgettable sensations.

It's a bit like the body enters into symbiosis with water.

That's why, to relive the thermal experience at home, we must try to stimulate all senses and create the right atmosphere with sounds, scents, gestures, colors, and temperatures prepared in a certain way.

1. Adjust the temperatures to recreate the right thermal environment 

The first step in creating the right atmosphere that makes you feel like you have a spa at home is to prepare the environment: usually, the bathroom is chosen or, when possible, a quiet, clean, and tidy room. The goal is to relax before a hot bath, so it's important to avoid distractions.

Once the room has been chosen, you will need to set up a welcoming atmosphere, paying particular attention to the colors and temperatures that will characterize the environment. If it's too cold, the body doesn't fully relax, while if it's too hot, there may be a feeling of discomfort. The ideal temperature varies according to personal preferences, but generally, it's around 25 degrees Celsius.

To influence the perception of heat, it's possible to manipulate colors through soft lights or candles. For a relaxing atmosphere, green or blue are the ideal colors, while for a warmer and more passionate environment, shades of red are recommended.

2. Use relaxing and stimulating scents and sounds

To create a relaxing atmosphere, sight and smell also need their dose of stimulation.

Aromatherapy is essential for a home spa. In this case, scented candles can be lit or essential oils such as lavender or eucalyptus can be used, or even natural fruit fragrances that help relax and regenerate the mind. The fragrances of skincare products themselves can also release stimulating scents.

As for hearing, zen or ambient music can be an excellent choice to create an even more intimate and tranquil atmosphere. Alternatively, nature sounds could be reproduced or small fountains could be placed in various parts of the room that, with the gurgling of water, will spread a relaxing melody.

3. Choose the right bath linen to recreate a true home spa 

To feel like you're in a real wellness center, bath linen is essential: your favorite bathrobe or a bath towel, a sponge turban for your hair, and warm slippers. For a truly relaxing experience that pampers your skin, it's advisable to focus on cotton fabrics, soft and warm. In addition, fabric softener can be used to give the fabric an exotic or fresh scent.

4. Bath with salts to prepare for subsequent treatments 

Bathing with salts is an essential wellness practice within a home spa. This treatment constitutes a transitional moment that prepares the body to receive subsequent treatments. Adding bath fossil salts to the hot water in the bathtub helps relax muscles, reduce stress, and release beneficial mineral substances for the skin.

5. Choose thermal water-based products for your thermal treatments

What makes a thermal experience unique are the gestures that accompany the use of products, thermal treatments, and wellness paths that include saunas, massages, Turkish baths, emotional showers, and hot tubs. However, if you don't have access to these services, just use your creativity and experiment. For example, you can take a cold or lukewarm shower before immersing yourself in a hot tub and use skin care products based on thermal water, such as those developed by Il Tempio della Salute.

These products not only have a beneficial effect on the skin, thanks to the soothing and moisturizing properties of fossil water, but with their fragrances and textures, they push the mind into a moment of pure relaxation and regeneration.
