Over two decades ago we were introduced to the "art" of bathing, as most activities in Japan are approached as "art" in some form.

One of our favorite baths was located by a lake shore and surrounded by herb gardens. Every night the owners would fill bed pillow sized sachets with herbs from the gardens and float them in the hot pools. You were literally bathing in herbal tea. It was the ultimate in relaxation

We began experimenting with this in our own bath. And, though we liked the herbs alone, there always seemed to be a little more room for improvement. We began researching the benefits of different natural substances and fragrances, and how they affect the body and mind. And, after many years of trial and error, we believe we have found the perfect balances to help everyone appreciate and benefit from the "art" of bathing
