PEACE AND HARMONY

Water is the essential part of wellness and pleasure, which was also known in ancient Rome, two thousand years ago. They considered hot water baths as the best way for quick and total physical relaxation. Two millenniums later, after many technological revolutions and changes in the life of a man and in the society, thermal springs of healing water became most popular destinations for European people, who want to get out of filthy and polluted towns. According to these needs, traditional spas have included more things in the idea of health, offering visitors formulas for reaching physical and psyche harmony.
The first Wellness centre in Serbia was the ”Fons Romanus” in Vranjčka Banja, offering relaxation and a good feeling. Relaxation and harmony of the body is achieved with care, physical activities and resting, under supervision of doctors, physiotherapists and other medicinal staff. The program offers a very attractive combination of 26 different relaxation massages, with many elements and details. There is underwater massage with water and air, Finish sauna with dry air baths (to 100˚C) and a barrel for cooling the room, a room for relaxation and resting after spending some time in the sauna. We should also mention pearl baths, dry sauna, the King’s and the Queen’s bathroom, aesthetic programs of cosmetics, pedicure, manicure, sunrooms...
There are many relaxing inventions, such as a sofa which can completely replace a physiotherapeutic or as a device for feet shiatsu massage.
Oriental bathroom, like from the ”One Thousand and One Nights”, gives us the culture of bathing from the East and unites hot baths and steam bathroom in the wellness program. With the temperature of 50˚C and one hundred percent of humidity, this bathroom offers better pleasure than the sauna. The pleasant humid warmth is good for those who cannot bear the heat of the sauna. The body get warmed up gradually; there is no drastic change of temperature that could burden your organism, which contributes to freshness of the skin and a great relaxing feeling.
The Oriental bathroom is also called the Turkish bathroom, recommended to all those who suffer from serious diseases, diseases of the respiration system, problems with blood circulation or high blood pressure.
