The idyllic Pennsylvania luxury wellness escape, The Lodge at Woodloch, offers three exciting new hydrotherapy amenities: the Snow Room, the Tyrolean Bucket Shower, and the Co-ed Himalayan Salt Sauna. Each offers unique health benefits, but the results are truly remarkable when used together in a specific sequence. Alternating heat and cold therapy has been known for centuries, providing calming and invigorating effects. Heat soothes and relaxes, slowing internal organ activity, while cold stimulates and reinvigorates, increasing activity. The sudden temperature changes from this method help combat stress and stimulate both body and mind.
Co-ed Himalayan Salt Sauna
This sauna stands out from the saunas in the men’s and women’s retreats by featuring a Himalayan Salt Wall. When heated, Himalayan salt releases negatively charged ions that purify the circulating air, offering health benefits such as stress reduction, increased energy, and mood enhancement on a biochemical level.
Tyrolean Bucket Shower
The Tyrolean Bucket Shower provides a refreshing cold water experience. Pulling a rope releases a bucket of cold water overhead, delivering a temporary thermal shock that strengthens the body. Benefits include bolstering the immune system, boosting metabolism, improving blood circulation, regulating body temperature, maintaining clear and glowing skin, and enhancing overall well-being and stress resilience.
Snow Room
The Lodge at Woodloch’s Snow Room is a unique feature, being the first of its kind in the United States. This room offers a gentle alternative to the traditional Tyrolean cold bucket shower, providing a mild and pleasurable cooling experience. The compact dry snow and crisp cold air facilitate rapid and efficient cooling, making it an extraordinarily gentle and enjoyable method.
