Balneotherapy is the art of water therapy. There isn’t much that is as soothing and relaxing as being able to leisurely soak in a hot bath.
As you find yourself cradled by the warm water, you can instantly feel relief from the constant pull of gravity, your mind refreshed, and the weight of the world lifted momentarily. Throw in a few drops of essential oils or bath salts and you can easily approach nirvana.
Water is one of nature’s most effective and greatest solvents. It acts as a liquid suspension and may carry a variety of minerals depending on where the water is coming from.
Thanks to essential oils, bath salts, and bath bombs, you can get even more from your bath time experience. Bath salts help to mineralize the water and draw the toxins right out of your body. Essential oils bring your mind peace and rejuvenation.
Here are just a few ways you can benefit from balneotherapy:
- Bathing in hot water or hot springs gradually increases the temperature of the body and thus kills several harmful germs and viruses.
- Bathing in hot water helps to increase the flow of oxygen-rich blood throughout your body which brings better nourishment to vital organs.
- By adding bath salts with traces of minerals such as sulfur, calcium, and magnesium, your body is able to absorb them and enjoy various benefits, which may include physical and mental relaxation and the production of endorphins.
-
Repeated use of bath time can aid in normalizing your body’s nervous system. Not only that, but it can ease stress and better your quality of sleep as well.
- Bathing in hot water, especially with a few essential oils and bath salts added in, can do wonders for relieving discomfort and relaxing your body.
