Bathing and Hot Springs News

CNN has a nice review of Strawberry Park Hot Springs near Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
"Located about seven miles from downtown Steamboat, the facility is made up of a series of handmade masonry pools tucked into the natural landscape. The hot spring water is blended with cool creek water to fill the two large hot pools, the hottest of which is kept at around 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Massage treatments are offered in rustic cottages on the property."

The Detroit News has a good summary of the latest technology for in-home bathing, including this very interesting option that I'd really like to experience:
"There's the air bath that offers the champagne equivalent of tiny bubbles, which creates a soothing to invigorating massage. Some compare the air bath to bathing in hot springs..."

Speaking of cutting edge, or maybe just "edgy", in Japan you can now get bath salts that smell like your favorite chewing gum. If you're in to that sort of thing.
"Not being your average aromatherapy products, one has to wonder if the bather retains the aroma of coffee or sour plum after soaking in their essence."
