There’s nothing quite as relaxing as taking some me time to soak in a bath filled with bubbles. Helping your body to relax, submerging yourself in warm water can help relieve anxiety and stress which in turn improves your mood. If you’ve been hitting all your exercise goals baths can also soothe sore muscles, joints, and bones as the warmth of the bath can help improve blood flow.
Taking a moment to focus on your breath is also key as it can help oxygenate the blood. We haven’t even touched on the positives for your skin. With hot water opening the pores and causing us to sweat, this is the body’s natural way of cleansing itself. By adding certain oils and salt to your bath you can also enhance this process. Here’s a round-up of our bathing must-haves.
