Japanese forest bathing tradition inspires Kohler’s new Stillness Bath

Spa operator and bathroom fixtures company Kohler Co has developed a new multi-sensory bathing product called the Stillness Bath.

“The Stillness Bath combines water, fog, aromatherapy and chromotherapy to create an immersive sensory journey designed to promote full relaxation by calming the mind, soothing the body and renewing the spirit,” said Nikki Miller, director of Kohler Waters Spas.

“The experience provides a sanctuary for self-care and wellbeing comparative to the sensory experience invoked by the beauty of striking natural surroundings, like watching a sunrise on the sea or walking through a serene forest.”

The brand’s flagship Kohler Waters Spa in Kohler, Wisconsin – a village which grew up around the original Kohler manufacturing plant – is showcasing the Stillness Bath with an all-new 50-minute treatment exclusive to the property.

The US$150 (£131, €150) ritual begins with freeze-dried seawater flooding in from the bottom of the bath, gently overflowing into the surrounding Hinoki wood moat.

Full spectrum lighting then surrounds the bath, creating a chromotherapy experience while cool fog mixed with essential oils hovers gently above the surface of the water.

The treatment also features a full-body exfoliation, Kohler Custom Vichy Shower rinse and a full-body application of moisturiser to stimulate and hydrate the skin in addition to the bathing experience.

At this point in time, the product is exclusive to Kohler Co.
