Duravit: Working Wonders 

With the days getting shorter, colder, and less clement, it is hardly surprising that the urge to round off the day with a warm, cozy bath is especially strong – and rightly so! A long bath in the right atmosphere not only generates a unique wellness effect, but also offers a range of health benefits. Duravit, the complete bathroom manufacturer, offers a broad portfolio of different bathtub models so everyone can enjoy the positive attributes of taking a bath. The dream of your very own bathtub can come true in rooms of almost any size.

Wellness mode in the home bathroom

A bathtub may be a freestanding, central element in the bathroom, a compact space-saving design solution, or harmoniously integrated as a built-in variant. Duravit’s bathtub portfolio includes a range of different series – from the entry-level model through to the designer bathtub – available in various versions and dimensions. The bathtub is the finishing touch to a bathroom’s individual and practical design, be that as a family-friendly or sophisticated variant, made from easy-clean sanitary acrylic or the soft-touch cast mineral material DuroCast.

Reap the health benefits for yourself

There is plenty of evidence that a warm bath not only does you good, but also has various health benefits: for example, bathing in warm water eases muscle tension, which can offer relief after physical exertion. As well as the muscles, a bath can also benefit the joints: the water reduces the pressure on the joints, which can alleviate pain, especially when combined with the pleasant warmth.

A warm bath can also promote circulation by expanding blood vessels, which in turn ensures better distribution of nutrients and oxygen around the body. Inhaling the warm steam in a bath can soothe respiratory conditions, especially during cold season. Of course, any added extra that enhances wellbeing is encouraged – a book, a magazine, relaxing music or an audio book. After all, an enjoyable bath releases endorphins – nature’s stress inhibitors.

Five tips for the ideal bathing experience:

1. The recommended water temperature is 36-38°C – pleasantly warm but without putting too much strain on the circulation.
2. In addition to the relaxing atmosphere, a bath with skin-friendly additives that prevent the skin from drying out is particularly pleasant. Oils such as almond and jojoba oil are ideal for a relaxing and nurturing bath.
3. A bath cannot influence the course of a cold, but it can soothe respiratory symptoms if essential oils and steam are inhaled while bathing.
4. And even better: bathing strengthens the immune system! This means taking a bath can proactively ward off colds.
5. 20 minutes are ideal! This is enough time to warm yourself up and relax without putting too much strain on the circulation.
