Check out this cute and simple Christmas gift idea: aromatherapy bath salts!
But first things first, here are some benefits of taking a bath.
1. LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
The warm water of a bath can slightly raise your heart rate, increasing oxygenation and circulation. It can also lower your blood pressure for those without prior heart disease.
2. REDUCES PAIN AND INFLAMMATION IN JOINTS
Bathing loosens and relaxes the muscles, soothing aches and pains without any adverse effects.
3. DECREASES STRESS AND IMPROVES SLEEP
A bath before bed can reduce the level of stress and anxiety in the body and improve your mood. This increased relaxed state can calm your nervous system and improve sleep.
4. REDUCES SUGAR LEVELS
Reduce sugar levels from extra holiday desserts. A recent independent study has shown that bathing may reduce sugar levels in the blood, which could help people who suffer from diabetes to manage their weight better.
5. IMPROVES IMMUNITY
Taking a hot bath can kill bacteria and improve immunity. It can also promote slower deeper breaths, increasing oxygenation and improving circulation.
6. CLEANSING AND MOISTURIZING
Hot water opens our pores and causes us to sweat, which is the body’s natural way of cleansing itself. Bathing with Himalayan bath salts stimulates circulation, hydrates the skin, increases moisture retention, promotes cellular regeneration, detoxifies the skin, and helps heal dry, scaling, irritated skin.
⭐⭐ Add some aromatherapy to your life and you will be a whole new person! 😍🥰
Aromatherapy is using the scents of oils for your wellbeing. Essential oils have the ability to pass through the olfactory bulb and head right into the brain where your memories are held. They can help calm occasional stressors AND release memories and emotions, calming you down. This is both needed and wanted more than ever during the holiday season.
