​1. Hot : Japanese "Ofuro" Cedar Soaking Tub
In the privacy of your own garden, immersed in nature and pleasurable whatever the weather, a session in  your private Japanese "Ofuro"  soaking hot tub induces deep relaxation by reducing your blood pressure while stimulating blood flow to the muscles, skin, etc. Experience the bliss...
"Ofuro Soaking Tubs originate from Japan where bathing is not just a bath but rather a spiritual ritual. The Ofuro bathing practice differs from North American and European bathtubs, Ofuro bathtubs are 'Zen' like providing a sensual pleasure and a feeling of well-being and harmony with the natural surroundings, perhaps in a garden or spiritual landscape. Japanese bathtubs help to restore mental and spiritual well-being by providing a private relaxation space, and they promote good health by stimulating circulation. 
"The mechanics of an Ofuro Tub require a deep chin down soak which means the tub is a deeper tub than normal bathtubs... The thick cedar construction of our Ofuro's means that the tub will maintain its heat much longer than a regular tub. Our 'Ofuro Tubs" are made of clear Western Red Cedar which is a close cousin to the traditional cypress wood used in Japan. Red Cedar has the distinct advantage of being naturally resilient to decay and bacteria. It also is known for its high insulating value. The pleasant aromatherapy of cedar heightens the experience!"

​COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH BENEFITS
 
Cold therapy has been shown to provide a large range of health benefits. The cold stage stimulates blood pressure, forcing the production of more white blood cells– your body’s natural healing agent. Flushed of toxins, your muscles relax and you feel rejuvenated.

Faster Recovery - Cold shocks decrease pain and reduce inflammation, so you can bounce back faster from hard training sessions or intense competitions.
Boosted Immune System - Cold exposure boosts T-cell counts, promoting a stronger immune system to fight off diseases.
Improved Mental Health - Regular cold therapy leads to better sleep. Sleep is a key factor in your mental performance and mood.
Relieves Stress - Reduced cortisol levels and increased dopamine levels after plunges mean you feel happier and lower stress.
