BODY BASICS SOUND AND AROMA THERAPY ENVIR SP

by Body Basics

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Just add some steamed towels to this aroma and sound machine and you have a complete home spa. The machine, which resembles a small flying saucer, combines the ancient art of aromatherapy with modern sound technology for a rich sensory experience. You can customize your spa environment by choosing from four all-natural scents and six soothing sounds: ocean waves, a summer night, a brook, spring rain, woodland sounds, or white noise. Try experimenting with sound and scent combinations: the "relaxation" aroma beads, a blend of lavender, chamomile, and sage, work well with the sound of ocean waves if you want to drift off to sleep, for example. You can also use your own essential oils to further broaden your relaxation options. There's an aromatherapy-only option if you'd rather listen to your own music, as well as a sound-only option. The machine is powered by an AC adapter or four AA batteries (not included) and is small enough to slip into a suitcase. --Laura Cuthbert

3.0 out of 5 stars Homedics ES-1 Envira-Spa Aroma & Sound, October 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: BODY BASICS SOUND AND AROMA THERAPY ENVIR SP (Health and Beauty)

I've lived in Chicago and Atlanta and find the machine a good addition to block urban noise. My dog even seems to sleep sound under the "white noise" option. I primarily use the sound options but have a couple of complaints, although none would stop me from buying another machine. The first is the lack of more sound options. The other is the short cycle on some modes. For instance, on the "Summer Night" mode you can easily hear the program recycle, which quickly becomes annoying. The Aroma Spa is pleasant and adequate for small areas, such as bathrooms. Don't expect much in larger bedrooms. The aroma fan seems to drone and vibrate, overpowering the sound program at lower volume levels. Even with the complaints, I still believe that the Envira-Spa is the best on the market for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Machine, though not for the whiney people!, June 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: BODY BASICS SOUND AND AROMA THERAPY ENVIR SP (Health and Beauty)

I read some of the reviews, and I swear some people complain so much about tiny details! This machine is a wonderful little thing! Lets say if you work at night, and you have to sleep during the day, you can turn this on and it will drown out the noises of every day living. The aromatherapy is subtle- not too strong, yet strong enough. If you are trying to use it like a house freshener, don't- it's not going to work on the whole house! Some of the reviewers' noses must be stopped up because if you can't smell the aromatherapy beads, something is wrong. The scents are righteous! I think the sounds are pretty acurate as well. Very relaxing. It has volume control, and you can leave it on all night just by not choosing any of the time options. People were complaining about not being able to listen all night. Just don't light up any of the time options and it will stay on. Don't hesitate to buy this, you will love it, unless you like to complain about minor details.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have NEVER been so relaxed....NOTHING beats it!!, June 8, 2001

I LOVE this machine! First of all, it is incredibly easy to use and there is NO mess...as there is with some other aromatherapy machines. Secondly, the sounds of nature are an added bonus...and make relaxing and sleeping a whole new experience! Finally, the price is INCREDIBLE for all you get- the machine with aromatherapy & relaxation sounds, the A/C adapter plug in, PLUS the 4 scent bead sensation set. You cannot beat that! I ordered my first machine for my daughter's bedroom, and for the first time, she woke up with clear nasal passages and a relaxed night of sleep. I quickly ordered three more machines- for our bedroom, the bathroom, and the kitchen/dining area!! I have tried other aromatherapy machines and none can compare to options, price, and quality of the Homedic EnviroSpa -Sound and Aromatherapy Machine!!
