Heated treatment rooms come in various forms and many came into being during Roman times.
A Caldarium room has heated surfaces supplied by electric heating units. The radiant heat of a Caldarium stimulates circulation and regenerates the body’s natural energies. Caldariums in health clubs and gyms provide numerous therapeutic benefits – reducing joint pain and muscle aches – and release a purifying sensation.
In a Laconium the walls, benches and floor are all tiled and thermostatically heated to a temperature of around 65c. It is a warm rather than stiflingly hot steam room and a good place to start your thermal journey. A Laconium offers a milder alternative to sweat therapy rooms and hot saunas. Typically, you spend 20 minutes in a Laconium followed by a warm steam shower.
A Tepidarium is a dry, warm room close to body temperature where you can start or finish your cleansing journey. A tiled Tepidarium can be enhanced with mood lighting and is thermostatically controlled.
