Relaxation Bath on Lake Constance

At the Buff Medical Resort

Rest and relaxation are the foundation of a restorative stay. With us, the relaxation bath begins not in the tub but on a warm water-filled bed – also known as a Soft Pack, floating bed or floating: you lie down on a warm, water-filled mattress that slowly sinks until the warmed water carries most of your body weight and a feeling of near-weightlessness sets in – a gentle dry floating that many guests find especially releasing. You stay dry the entire time: a waterproof membrane separates you from the water, so you feel only the warmth and the sensation of being carried. To finish, a soothing aroma bath follows. The warm water-filled bed on its own lasts 40 minutes (220 €); with the concluding aroma bath it is 60 minutes (250 €).

You choose from a range of aroma additives, tailored to what you need right now: more invigorating or more calming. Our team is happy to advise you on the selection.

On request, we combine the warm water-filled bed with an algae or herbal pack. In many rooms you can also take an alkaline bath in your own bathtub.

If you like, you can pair the relaxation bath with time in our pool landscape, which flows seamlessly from indoors to outdoors, or with swimming outdoors in the lakeside park. Afterwards, the evening winds down nicely in the fireside lounge.

A stay with us is first and foremost a wellness and hotel experience. Those who wish can also gain a deeper insight into their own health – but that always remains voluntary.

What is an aroma bath?

A classic aroma bath is a warm full bath to which essential oils or plant-based bath additives are added. The combination of pleasantly tempered water and fragrance appeals to several senses at once: the warmth relaxes the muscles, the water relieves part of your body weight, and the scent is taken in through breathing and the skin. With us, this aroma bath forms the conclusion of the treatment – after the floating rest on the warm water-filled bed.

Oils such as lavender, considered rather calming, or citrus and rosemary notes, described as stimulating, are frequently used. The water temperature is usually in the range of around 36 to 38 °C (97–100 °F) – warm enough to let go, without putting too much strain on the circulation.

Benefits

A warm aroma bath is experienced by many people as pleasantly relaxing. The warmth can help loosen tense muscles; lying almost weightlessly on the water bed takes pressure off the body. Many guests find the treatment beneficial for their general well-being, and the warmth can stimulate circulation as well as the flow of lymph.

The effect of fragrances is experienced very differently from person to person. A bath is not a medical treatment and does not replace medical care – it is a contribution to recovery and well-being. If you suffer from cardiovascular complaints, please speak briefly with our team beforehand or have any complaints clarified by a doctor.

What to expect

You arrive at the agreed time, choose your aroma additive and settle onto the warm water bed; to finish, the aroma bath follows. The treatment lasts around 60 minutes, and a short rest afterwards is recommended. We recommend reserving your appointment in advance.
