Thanks to LED: as of now, the Softub whirlpools Legend and Resort are available with LED-light, also perfectly suitable as light therapy during a relaxing bubbling bath. The LED-light in the Softub is activated by a button on the operating panel. A play of colours can be chosen from the following components:
Of course it is also possible to choose individual colours:
In the whirlpool, you should let the colours flow over you for about 20 minutes. Scented oils in the lamp and soft music in the background intensify the desired effects you can reach according to your choice of colours.
The fact that colours have different effects has already been known in the ancient Egypt and to the early Greeks. Both cultures connected colours with gods. The Egyptians associated red with Amon, yellow with Horus, green with Osiris and blue with Anubis. For the Greek people yellow stood for Apoll, green for Aphrodite and blue for Zeus. In Egypt , so-called colour temples, i.e. rooms designed in different colours, were used for healing illnesses. Ill people were brought into these rooms and took a colour bath to alleviate sufferings. Nefertiti as well is said to have enhanced her beauty and well-being with colours. Wellness the ancient way!
However, colours cause totally different reactions on people. Although shades of red, orange and yellow are unanimously felt to be warming and stimulating, green is felt to be relaxing and regenerating and blue to be cooling and calming, but if they evoke pleasant or unpleasant feelings depends on the individual person. In order to be able to perceive or see colours, a complex process goes off in our body: The eye records our environment like a mechanical camera and the optic nerve passes on an objective picture to the visual centre in the form of electric impulses. The actual seeing, however, happens in the brain. The colour-sensitive uvular cells of the retina, for example, are only able to identify three primary colours: red, green and blue-violet. All the other shades are derived by the brain with the help of the respective impulses. Therefore, the consciousness for colours develops only there.
