The right way to bath
1
The best bath time...
Taking a bath after 9 o'clock in the evening is an ideal way to really relax. The bath should not be any warmer
than 37°C. Adding a relaxing ingredient to the water, for example Lemon balm or Vanilla from our scent
ranges PURE NATURE or PURE RELAX, is especially good for the body. Afterwards you can go to bed relaxed
and fall asleep contented. If you have plans for the evening then you should either shower or have a bath with
a maximum temperature of 36°. Don't spend longer than 15 minutes in the bath and choose an invigorating
fragrance such as Pine, Orange or Ginkgo.

A bath that's too hot makes you sluggish...
Hot bath temperatures - above 38° Celsius - cause the heart to beat faster and make you feel weary and
extremely lethargic. Your skin loses at least 20% of its natural oils, even if moisturizing bath products are used,
and becomes extremely dry. Don't spend more than 15 to 20 minutes in warm water - that's the optimal bath
time.

Health aspects...
As well as the feeling of well-being, Duravit places great importance on the health aspects of bathing. The
effects of temperature (warm/cold) and the feeling of weightlessness (hydrostatic effect) can play an important
role in treating circulation problems, rheumatic conditions and reduced muscular mobility. Immersion in water,
with its support for body weight, provides relief for joints and muscles. As well as pure water, both cold and
warm, bath additives can be helpful - either to aid relaxation or to invigorate.

That makes scents...
Scents and fragrances can create positive emotions and moods and directly affect our sense of well-being.
The effects of pure ethereal oils can be obtained by adding them to the bath or using an aroma lamp. With
Duravit's PURE range of fragrances, a bath in your own home becomes a health-boosting celebration of the
senses. The PURE NATURE range of ethereal oils is ideally suited for preventing and relieving colds, head-
aches and muscle pain: Eucalyptus, Pine, Lemon balm. The pleasantly-scented exotic fruit oils in the PURE
RELAX range invigorate both body and spirit, aid relaxation and enliven the senses: Orange, Ginkgo, Vanilla.
The PURE range of fragrances from Duravit is available from specialist dealers.

Variety at bath time...
A bath pillow makes things even more pleasant - placed under the neck it supports the head, helping to relax the
neck and shoulders as well as making the lying position more comfortable. The active massage jets in a Duravit
whirlpool bath promote even better relaxation, making it a worthwhile investment. And bath time pleasure is
doubled in one of Duravit's two-person baths, maybe with candlelight and your favourite CD?
