Vichy shower explained

A Vichy shower, also known as an affusion shower,[1] is a kind of shower used in spas, featuring a horizontal bar with five to seven shower heads, or holes.[2] Large quantities of warm water are poured over a spa patron while he or she lies in a shallow wet bed, similar to a massage table, but with drainage for the water.[3] The patron typically lies on their back first, and then is rolled onto their stomach.[4]

The Vichy shower originated in Vichy, France, which contains natural mineral springs. These springs inspired the design of the Vichy shower.[5]
