Benefits of Bathing
The daily use of water is integral to maintaining one’s health and appearance. Regular bathing is good for the skin, improves circulation and can help alleviate insomnia and muscle pain. Bathing also provides a boost for the self-esteem – looking and feeling clean can go a long way towards building a positive self-image.
Given the proper circumstances, bathing can be a restorative ritual that soothes the mind and relaxes the body. Instead of a quick shower that takes care of only the essentials, imagine a restful oasis. Picture a steamy scented soaking tub with soft lighting, a good book and a plush towel nearby. Or if you prefer, an invigorating jetted whirlpool with swirls of pulsing water that knead the day’s tensions out of tired muscles. In either scenario, you emerge not just “clean” but refreshed and renewed and ready to re-enter the world.
Water has a purifying effect on the body and mind. The natural minerals found in water help to detoxify the body, while the soothing sensation of soaking in water provides a much-needed respite for the mind.
