Wasauna Releases Stress-Reducing Steam Shower on Heels of New Study

Mindshower is a state-of-the-art steam shower that integrates relaxing lavender aromatherapy into the everyday bathroom experience. Mindshower is manufactured by Wasauna, America's premier manufacturer of steam rooms and showers.

(PRWEB) July 12, 2007 -- In February, 2007, a Japanese study concluded the smelling of lavender was immediately followed by a marked decrease in the body's level of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress response and elevated blood pressure. Based on this research, Wasauna has announced the release of Mindshower® - a residential steam room with integrated lavender aromatherapy. Wasauna is a leading brand of steam showers (http://www.wasauna.com/steam-showers.html) and whirlpool bathtubs (http://www.wasauna.com/bathtubs.html),

At any time during a shower, the steam generator may be activated, quickly filling the cabin with stress-reducing lavender steam. In addition to steam, the mindshower features drenching ceiling rain, stereo sound with iPod connectivity, acupressure massage jets, chromatherapy, and a foot massager.

"For years, lavender aromatherapy has been anecdotally associated with relaxation," stated David Petersen, President of Wasauna. "Now, it's proven. The Japanese research provided the clinical impetus we needed to move forward with integrated aromatherapy."

Research by Meikai University's School of Dentistry in Japan found cortisol levels decreased after only 5 minutes of exposure to the lavender scent, proving daily use of a Mindshower® can diminish the symptoms of stress and anxiety caused by elevated cortisol levels.

"Many products on the market promise a cure for anxiety, but few techniques are backed by modern clinical research," said Michael Kanko, CEO of Wasauna. "Wasauna truly washes away stress."
