Bathing is a popular activity enjoyed by people around the world. Various types of baths provide many benefits, such as relaxation, healing, purification of the body and soul.
History shows that the art of bathing is a science practiced by the Romans, the Greeks, the Egyptians and other ancient civilizations. Its indications went beyond the cleansing activity and it was also used for therapeutic purposes.
The Roman Bath was the most popular social activity for the ancient Romans. As an example, the essential oil of lavender (from the Latim word “lavare”, to wash), was used by the Romans that time. Lavender is known for its many uses as a therapeutic product, indicated for insomnia, relaxation, depression, as a pain killer, among other uses. Other ingredients, such as rose, ginger, olive oil, lemon were used and because of their properties, they remain popular even today.
Plan a weekend to go to a spa or bring the pampering and soothing feeling of a bath at home by adding some ingredients to the bath water. The market offers a number of options so you can have your own traditional bath. Bath salts, fizzy or not, with essential oils, bubble bath, among others. Twenty minutes should be the time you allocate for home baths and the water temperature should not be too hot.
You can fancy it up by arranging some candles and soft music, throwing some rose petals and use a nice body scrub with essential oils to exfoliate your skin and to make it glow.
Enjoy!
