Steam Shower and Spa Resource

A personal investment, guilt inducing health program!

Invest in something which regales you with style and actively helps keep you healthy and alive longer to enjoy your purchase. There is no point in avoiding what it is. It’s an investment. You already have investments all around you, a car, a house, an apartment, a guitar, your ABBA vinyl collection; few of the investments you’ve made pay off by physically and objectively enhancing your quality of life. I won’t run numbers with you because I am terrible at math, however if you calculated what could be saved in junk food, doctors visits and money spent on prescription co-pays, as well as money lost from days off from work due to illness. The entire point is to make one first step toward being proactive in life and ensuring you’re going to be around to see all that you want to see and accomplish what you want to accomplish. You will simultaneously be held accountable for failure while receiving accolades for your successes however marginal they may be; which one drowns out the other will be subjectively decided by you. You may do something which alters the outcome. You can actually have tomorrow be the beginning of your new healthy life.   

Something which amazes a lot of people who become interested in their health is the mental transformation from seeing healthy things standing in the way of their lives, to seeing everything which is NOT healthy standing in between them and their time at the gym or time in the Infrared Sauna, or time on a steam shower. Health is actually contagious. The attitude and confidence which comes with knowing you are making the correct decisions by your body and mind is positively life altering.

Since I’m speaking of investments look at your life- take inventory if you will –and see what it is which you are investing in, spending time on and putting into your body and decide which relationships are reciprocal and which aren’t. Think about wasted empty calories, hours squandered sedentary couch sitting prime time block after prime time block instead of being active and simply taking a walk. If bathing yourself in a health minded, state of the art, stylish, body detoxifying steam shower everyday will keep your health at the forefront of your mind and you are in a position to use one, do it. For me, the turning point was simply signing up at a local community center gym and having the I.D. card. Everyday opening my wallet and seeing the I.D. made me conscious of my health and (mostly) what I WASN’T doing about making it better. Think about what you can do to make your life better everyday. Take an active role in educating and training yourself to have a better life. I can offer articles as I do on the My Bath Blog which you have been reading and you may also supplement you knowledge by seeing the actual models of fitness items I’m speaking of at www.mybath.biz

Ozone Sterilization: Al Gore can warm the bench; I got this one...

    An extremely convenient truth!  Ozone, not the high floating strata of environment in the heavens which protects us from the sun's deadly rays, but rather the oxidative process which we know as Ozone Sterilization is a well founded system for- not only cleansing -but medical level cleansing of surgical instruments ever since the 1900's. 
    My Bath features an Ozone Sterilization System, which admittedly at first sight or upon hearing the words for the first time sounds like EXACTLY the type of ambiguous language I lobby against in about every other blog entry.  However, this is not.  And, please, don't worry about destroying the Ozone Sterilization Process- i wouldn't suggest running an automobile inside any of the steam showers, though some of them may be big enough to fit a small, lets say Geo Metro. 
    The cool thing is in two features which are installed in the Rainforest showers we have eliminated the need for any scrubbing whatsoever on your part to keep you Steam Shower in pristine and hospital-sterile condition.  The Ozone Sterilization System along with Rhino acrylic which is featured in the my bath line of products- virtually impermeable to bacteria and soap scum which makes My Bath's line of Steam Showers the premier luxury bath product line and one of the many things which continues to improve the par- allowing no handicaps or Mulligan's -which the competitors must try to undershoot while out selling and from my view point, as a writer working in Research and Communication, they must also ceaselessly inform their clients- as I strive everyday to reach new levels of understanding with the My Bath family.  Matching word written for word read and giving what answers I can to questions posed... I do not see our endeavor to summit this mount of medical jargon being impeded by any rival manufacturers or educators. 
        I am excited everyday to learn about everything from health problems such as Endometriosis to the cleansing oxidative processes such as Ozone Sterilization Systems.  I hope you are as well.  Please check out the product line to see exactly where they are located and to receive further information on how it may make your life less stressful and easier to navigate from day to day. 

While not a holiday: it is in my book... and therefore my blog as well.

    Today is June 6th which is the 63rd anniversary of the invasion of Nazi Occupied Europe.  63 years ago today, signaled the beginning of the end of Germany's reign of terror, subjugation and genocide.  While the Marines were still island hopping in the South Pacific and having their own bloody battles against the well entrenched, battle hardened and fierce warriors of the Empire of Japan, Eisenhower with the help of Montgomery launched the largest land invasion in the history of all of mankind.  Operation Overlord was not without it's flaws and hitches, and if it were then perhaps it would not have allowed the brave men who trudged through the beaches, parachuted into the fields and fought from hedgerow to hedgerow to shine as gallantly as they did.  The first day alone saw 10,000 Allied casualties, most inflicted on Omaha beach.  I wish to thank all the men and women and the families of the men and women who have served and are currently serving in the armed forces.  Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed, nor will the be forgotten.  Thank you for protecting my freedom. 

Accupressure Jets

    Around 5,000 years ago, not sure the exact date- I don't think they knew people would care this far on down the road enough to know the date - Chinese medicine practitioners began to take notice that by pressing on, warming, or otherwise manipulating certain areas of the body they could treat everything from Nausea, pain, and the stimulation of vital organs into proper function. 
    Stress related ailments react well to this ancient-recently-embraced-by-the-white-coat community.  Which is great since it is simple to learn and once learned it is easy to apply without the help of those doctor types.  No need for the doctors?  And we don't know about this therapy, why?! 
    Don't worry I've the ingredient for you to keep the idea that you're dealing in western medicine.  Charge yourself money, dispute the payment, take yourself to court, take out a second mortgage, kick yourself out on the street and live homeless.  Did I forget anything about health care?   All serious kidding aside...
       Check out the Rainforest 78. Count the number of acupressure jets, look at their placement and imagine the possibilities.  Everyone loves a well done massage.  The beauty of an acupressure session mixed with Hydro/Thermal/Therapy mixed in is that it is purely left to you imagination which parts of your body you wish to rejuvenate.  Anyone who accepted my previous dare of ending a shower session with cold water knows that there is energy and rejuvenation to be had in hydrotherapy.  In the Rainforest series of showers we have endeavored to accommodate the best of Alternative and Homeopathic preventative as well as curative therapies in a shower that has everything one would expect to exceed the best offered by modern living. 

Stress and modern culture: the good news?

       What is great about stress is that we seem to have engineered our entire social structure around enabling it.  Stressed out and no time to eat?  Fast food!  Have to worry about tomorrow and can't be bothered to do laundry?  Fabric freshening spray!  Don't have time to keep up on your reading list... wait a minute, I got it, I'll put this out on a C.D. and you may listen to it while you speed to your job worrying about being spotted by a highway patrol officer who is stressed out about losing his job if he doesn't make his monthly quota for speeding tickets. 
      And, inside this maelstrom we call modern living we are physically jolted in forms of transportation, disheartened by bills and credit, inundated by pharmaceuticals with efficacy yet unknown methods of action though we swallow, inject, or inhale them anyway.  All of this is a prescription for a short lived, riddled with anxiety miserable life. 
     Lets look at this extremely complicated system we deftly navigate everyday and seek placation in something simple.  In one sense a shower.  Lets go with something that has been an elemental part of our lives since we were being wiped down with baby wipes, or having our necks supported sitting in a kitchen sink being washed down by out parents.
    Focus further please.  It is no new realization that stress effects everything from our metal health to our physical health.  In Order to fight off disease our body is completely reliant on our bodies ability to engage immune response.  However a high stress lifestyle mixed with malnutrition mixed with a sedentary lifestyle (watching sports doesn't count as activity, no matter how elevated your pulse is from excitation or how high your blood pressure is from snacking on a-nutritious candy and chips) all mount to destroy all of your body's defense systems.
       We have suggested before Contrast Hydrotherapy and or Constitutional hydrotherapy in order to maintain a healthy body and thereby ensure a long life.  Please see previous blog entries to understand the mechanism of action which we use to benefit from all forms of Hydrotherapy.  Also see the lines of steam showers which include elements of modern living to allow you to focus on your health while not missing out on the amenities we all covet and collect to make our lives more enjoyable and to keep us informed and up to date on technology. 

Stagnated blood = Stagnate Energy… don’t excite yourself over the news!

Circulation is crucial to life (sometimes I amuse myself with statements of the obvious.) Now that we have all become familiar with the manner in which blood is oxygenated, infiltrates healthy cells the body over, removes wastes and repeats the cycle we should naturally ask, “How may we make this necessary process better?” It’s a health issue which scientists, philosophers, doctors and lay person alike have been trying to improve upon for thousands of years.  You may read and hear of many cultures’ ideas and knowledge of the movement of energy through the body. I don’t think it takes a genius to realize that blood, that lovely crimson liquid is responsible in large part for our sense of verve and vitality; however, thinking about it, acknowledging it and actually DOING something about it are two different things. 
           The blood already flows, it is our goal to make the process more beneficial through certain stimulation techniques using hydrotherapy in all of its forms, inducing Hyperthermia with our Steam Showers and Infrared Saunas featured on the My Bath web site www.mybath.biz . I don’t want someone to ever view their health as something, about which it could be said, “it isn’t… broken why fix it?” The fact that you are alive and reading this does not make you healthy; unhealthy people live… everyday.
            So what we look at with Hyperthermia and Hydrotherapy, specifically contrast hydrotherapy is manipulating the ebb and flow of blood through our bodies. We need to get the blood to flow which means dilating blood vessels- applying heat, or inundating oneself in a heated environment such as that enjoyed in a Far Infrared Sauna. On the opposite side of this mechanism there is the constriction of blood vessels which may be achieved by using either cold water/compresses, or water which is cold in contrast to what you’ve assimilated to. Meaning if you’re in an environment and it’s 120 degrees and you have a good sweat going, purifying your body and drawing toxins out of your skin and system and you quickly switch to an environment which is 20-30 degrees cooler it will cause a physiological reaction that will force your body to compensate to each environment.
            Viola!!! You have manipulated the blood flow through your entire body. You have shocked your system into flooding newly dilated cells with freshly oxygenated blood.
