Baths are the Holy Grail of relaxation.
Indulge in scents such as lavender, honey,
vanilla, rose or jasmine to soothe the
senses after a long day at work. Use a bath
oil to indulge in a night of aromatherapy,
or a bubble bath for mid-week decadence.
Milk has been a body beautifier for
centuries, used by kings and queens to
keep them looking as youthful as possible.
Bath milk lightly moisturises the whole
body and blankets the skin with nutrients.
A soothing bath is a proven mood
elevator and relaxation activity to help
prevent muscle injury and aches, and
has long been used for internal healing
therapy in Roman, Greek, Egyptian
and Japanese bathhouses. Blended
essential oils are definitely not a lost art
and are still used to relieve pressure
points of tenseness and stress, even cold
and flu symptoms.
