Why Milk Baths are Good For You

Milk Bath

I grew up in a house that only had a bathtub. I remember every Saturday night having a bath, which I hated. The bath part was fun but getting out into a cold house was not.
In my adult life I never had a bath until a few years when I started making different kinds of milk baths and bath salts. After exercising I will jump into a warm bath to relieve any muscle soreness. It is fun to get out and participate but it is not fun having sore muscles afterwards.

Since the weather is turning colder, more people are having or thinking about jumping into a warm bath.
