Scottish Shower: origins, use, and benefits

The Scottish shower is one of the most appreciated hydrotherapy treatments in modern SPAs, thanks to its regenerating and stimulating action on the entire body. The impact of powerful water jets promotes circulation, tones the tissues, and provides an immediate feeling of energy and vitality. It is the ideal treatment both for those who wish to relax after sauna and steam bath, and for those looking for a burst of freshness and well-being during the day.

Its origins date back to the 19th century, when it was practiced in the thermal resorts of Scotland, Germany, and Austria as a natural method to strengthen the body and increase physical endurance.

How the Scottish shower works

The Scottish shower is based on the action of cold and intense water jets that envelop the body from multiple angles, thanks to wall-mounted side nozzles.

After the heat of a sauna or Turkish bath, the impact of the cold water causes immediate vasoconstriction, reactivating circulation, stimulating the metabolism, and providing a feeling of instant invigoration.

The treatment can be performed in repeated cycles, which can be customized to the guest's needs.

Alternating between the heat of the thermal treatments and the coolness of the Scottish shower enhances the benefits, promoting muscle recovery and increasing the body's overall endurance.

Benefits of the Scottish shower

· Stimulation of blood and lymphatic circulation, with positive effects on the cardiovascular system

· Strengthening of the immune system and greater resistance to seasonal illnesses

· Tissue toning, improved skin elasticity, and reduction of the feeling of heavy legs

· Energizing effect and immediate mood improvement, thanks to the stimulation of the nervous system

· Faster muscle recovery after physical activity

Thanks to these effects, the Scottish shower represents a valuable treatment both as a daily wellness ritual and as an integral part of a complete SPA program.
