The Russian and Turkish Baths Experience 

A centuries-old tradition, Russian and Turkish Baths promote health and wellness through hot and cold bathing.

First, the safe, intense heat of the Russian and Turkish Baths or Steam Room relaxes your mind while activating your body. An attendant douses large heated rocks with water to produce more progressive heat and steam, opening your pores. In Turkish Baths, you might even pour cool water on yourself to intensify the experience. Add to these holistic methods the soft warm whisks of oak, birch or eucalyptus leaves gently brushed over your body. Your skin glows as this light exfoliation draws out toxins and conditions the skin.

 

After heating the body, plunging in the cooling pool directs blood flow back inward while providing the skin some relief. Moving back and forth from heat to cool activates the blood and enhances body wellness. In fact, Russian/Turkish Baths provide many health benefits. The experience leaves the body, mind and spirit healthy, relaxed and rejuvenated. 

 

The Benefits of Russian and Turkish Baths 

Scientists have confirmed the healing properties of the Russian and Turkish Baths. Taken regularly, the Russian and Turkish baths is an excellent method of stress reduction, detoxification, rejuvenation, immune system stimulation and increased health and wellness.

 

While relaxing in a Russian or Turkish Bath, you are actually giving your inner body a workout. The humid heat of the Baths or steam room raises your body temperature, which makes the heart and other organs work harder to circulate blood. Your pores open as perspiration cools the body, releases toxins and conditions the skin simultaneously. Plunging into a cooling pool redirects the blood flow inward, gently massaging the internal organs and regulating the critical temperature of the body. Moving back and forth from heat to cool flushes toxins and generates fresher blood for better health.

One of our most important goals is to utilize this holistic approach to overcome sudden or chronic energy blocks and to restore the normal flow of internal energy to the affected area and the entire body. Once cleansed by the Russian and Turkish Bath and the cooling pool, massages of your choice build upon your detoxification and relaxation to transport you to a new world and a new you.

Using hot stones induces healing both spiritually and physically.  This unique and effective technique consists of applying oils and hot stones to the body to help balance the energy centers, leading to total body relaxation of the deeper tissue layers of the body.  The stones are also used as massage tools for deeper penetration of the muscles.  Cold stones may also be used for the reduction of swelling.  Swedish massage techniques and aromatherapy oil induce a deep sense of relaxation.  The entire process stimulates blood circulation, creating a chemical reaction that encourages the body’s innate healing function.

 

Most massages are best received fully undressed, but you may leave your undergarments on if it makes you more comfortable.  During your treatment, you will be draped with a sheet or blanket and will be completely covered except for the body area being worked on by the therapist.

Platza and Baths Scrubs

Platza Service starts at $30 per session

Unique, ancient and powerful, the Russian Bath Platza (or “venik” massage) relaxes the mind, awakens the skin and relieves everyday aches and pains through traditional methods.

 

The Venik

Fully-grown leaves of birch, oak or eucalyptus are bundled together and soaked in warm water for about 20 minutes.  A quick 10-minute second soak in hot water makes the venik soft and fragrant, providing an organic aromatherapy throughout the platza.

 

The Platza

Using the prepared venik and authentic ancient techniques, our trained Platza Therapists massage you from head to toe, creating a pathway to ultimate wellness.

First the therapist lightly flutters the venik like butterfly wings just above your body, warming your skin.  Once your skin is heated, the venik is gently pressed against your body and brushed from side to side from your neck to toes and back again.  Next, the venik is shaken high in the air to gather more heat and then firmly pressed against the waist, shoulders, feet or knees for a few seconds, compressing heat into the joints.  Finally, as if in a gentle breeze, the soft leaves lightly slide and slap against the skin with an intermingling of stroking and compression techniques. 

When you return to the Russian Bath for a second platza, the venik is firmly pressed into your skin and rubbed in circular movements.  The therapy finishes with two veniks pressed into your waist and pulled in opposite directions to stretch the body.

The Health Benefits

A platza massage enhances the purifying health benefits of the Russian Bath through the specific use of the venik and the traditional massage techniques.  As the platza improves circulation and strengthens metabolism, the venik leaves release organic phytoncides, decreasing the growth and development of pathogens in the body.  Essential oils are also released, preventing premature aging of the skin.

Birch and oak veniks are the most popular and for good reason.  The Birch venik acts as an expectorant, widening small bronchi for an easier release of phlegm from the respiratory system.  Breathing seems magically cleared after a Birch venik.  Muscle and joint pains are also relieved with Birch veniks and wounds heal quicker once its leaves cleanse the skin.   Birch leaves also boast essential oils, tanning substances, vitamins C and A and can strengthen hair and destroy dandruff.  The essential oils of the Oak venik transform oily skin into smooth, supple skin and acts as a strong anti-inflammatory agent.  The aroma from soft, fragrant oak leaves soothes the mind, washing stress away.
