Chromatherapy I saw the same, that these are only advertised in Italian spas. And I saw some photos of colored lighting in showers, so I'm assuming these showers use lighting and scents for an "aromochromaticha" shower. Anyone ever been to one of these? I guess this is the best possible scenario because I can just invent the term if it doesn't exist in English. But it has to be comprehensible, of course, to the largely German and other European clientele that goes to these spas. Thanks, everyone. You've been a tremendous help.

Just for for curiosity's sake I put aroma-chromatic showers and aromachromatic showers in Google and found a lot of Italian spas and hotels using the terms. I didn't find any non Italian hotels or Spas.

I cannot even agree with Shera, so I'll do it here

DOCCE Yes, I realize the plural of doccia is docce. It was late and I was tired and now I can't figure out how to edit it.

My misspelling in Kudoz isn't the reason I couldn't find the term. It seems to be some purely Italian spa vocabulary. I'll wait for more answers, but based on my findings after posting, I think the one Shera submitted is correct.
Howard Sugar Aug 30, 2014:
The Italian word as Giovanni mentioned should be something like docce aromo-cromatiche. I have seen it translated as somthing like aromachromatic showers.
Giovanni Pizzati (X) Aug 30, 2014:
Margaret il plurale di doccia è docce. Se la penultima lettera del singolare è una consonante (ccia) la i al plurale salta. Esempio: provincia = province.

aromatherapy and chromotherapy/ rain showers

lots of hits for aromachromatic showers but they are all Italian.

The concepts of chromotherapy and aromatherapy seem to be present in non Italian sites

http://www.houzz.com/photos/showers/rain-showers-chromothera...

here they are called "rain showers"
