Bath Therapy

Bath Therapy
Bathing has been a revered ritual for thousands of years. Cleopatra was known for taking soothing milk baths; Marie Antoinette for taking long, luxurious herbal soaks; the Romans for enjoying public, social baths; and the First Nations for their purifying sweat lodge experience followed by a quick plunge into a cold stream or river.

A bath is a wonderful way to pamper, soothe, rejuvenate, and refresh the senses. Taking a bath can also create some much-needed private time to luxuriate in skin conditioning waters.

Healing treatments can be incorporated into the bathing ritual, too. Health spas the world over offer mineral baths in hot springs, sulphur waters and clay used to remove impurities from the skin. Various herbal and salts are also enjoyable for their fragrant, soothing, and therapeutic benefits.

Whether you’re interested in soaking away your tired, aching muscles and daily tensions; stimulating you circulation; softening your dry skin; or enjoying calming waters laced with lavender, rose and chamomile essential oils; these products are sure to please. Shower fanatics beware. Try a few of these tub-tantalizing mixtures and you may become a true bath lover after all!

Please note warm baths are the best. The hotter the water the quicker the volatile essential oils dissipate into the air and lose their healing qualities. Hot water also dehydrates your skin – and that’s not the desired result of all this bathing bliss!
