It’s taking that time for you. You deserve it and to make the most of these moments you can add a little pleasure to your relaxing time. When the kids are all tucked away, and maybe your husband is watching “something”, sneak away to your tub filling it with hot water and your favorite bubble bath. Just the anticipation should start you to feel relaxed as you prepare to slide in knowing you won’t be disturbed.

Now light a few candles and turn off the lights and you are ready. Smell the aroma of the scents. Slowly get in feeling the softness of the bubbles and the warmth of the water. Slide down sinking below just letting yourself go. When you rise again, you will see your candles giving off their soft glow of light. You can smell the aroma of the scents from your bubble bath and candles. Take a deep breath and feel yourself relaxing. Let your mind wonder taking your places as the aroma of your scents remind you of the pleasures from within your mind.

Back then that’s all they had for light. So use it today for yourself.

Having a long, relaxing soak in the tub is a favorite leisure activity for millions of water loving Americans. It is no wonder that they go to so much trouble to achieve the luxury bathroom of their dreams, with a whirlpool tub, beautiful vanity unit, stylish faucets and blissful shower. That dream may never be realized, but does it really matter? If you are really relaxed in the bath, with your eyes closed or the lights low, does it really matter about the fittings and décor?

Heat and Steam Can Be Relaxing

November 8, 2009 By 1 Comment

Steam and heat play a vital role in our health. Because heat and steam is hot, it relaxes the muscles and ligaments of the body and hydrates the skin. Without hydration, the skin becomes dried up and withered, as anyone who has spent six weeks in plaster for a broken bone can tell you.

Stress can have a really adverse affect on our health, compromising the immune system and causing all sorts of nasty diseases. Steam bathing reduces stress by relaxing the body and it also increases blood circulation. This plays an important part in carrying nutrients to all parts of the body. Steam bathing increases cardiac output of blood to the skin surface from 10% to 50%, so it’s easy to see how extra nutrients are quickly carried around to stimulate growth and repair.

Toxins are part of our body processes and when steam is applied it opens up the sweat glands, enabling them to excrete toxins and waste that may take days to get rid of otherwise. A steam bath will increase the heartbeat without increasing the blood pressure as the tiny capillaries expand to accommodate the extra blood flow to the skin. Steam helps the body to detoxify from heavy metals and alcohol, cleanses the lymph system and stimulates the cardiovascular system. [Read more...]

[ad#co-468x60]

Think about your most stressful day and how it made you feel. It takes a long time to unwind in the evening after a stressful day, doesn’t it? Some people aren’t able to effectively unwind and end up tossing and turning in bed, with relentless thoughts keeping them awake, and an overwhelming feeling of anxiety.

If you thought bubble baths were just for kids, think again! For stress-filled days you need bubble-filled baths! Nothing is as relaxing after a rough day than sliding into a nice, hot bath overflowing with lightly scented bath bubbles.

A bubble bath provides a natural form of stress relief, and hydrotherapy has been used for centuries for creating a relaxing environment. Soaking in hot water will ease tension, reduce your overall stress level and leave you feeling comfortable, warm, and calm from the inside out. Tension caused from stress is a major cause of muscle aches and pains and headaches- simply soaking in a hot tub will help eliminate the tension and go a long way in making you feel human again!

Using lightly scented bath bubbles will turn your hydrotherapy experience into an aromatherapy one! You can choose any fragrance that you find pleasant, but keep in mind there have been studies done that actually claim certain scents will help your body relax. Some of the favorite fragrances found in bath bubbles include vanilla, lavendar and cucumber melon. Each of these aromas will create a pleasurable smelling environment- perfect for spending an hour or so soaking in your tub! [Read more...]

Wash Away Stress With Dead Sea Salt

September 14, 2008 By 1 Comment

Stress is a normal part of living in today’s world. Whether your stress comes from your job, your commute, caring for your family or all of the above, your body’s reaction to prolonged stress can lead to long-term health problems. So it is very important for your health and well being to help your body reduce its physical and emotional reaction to stress. Research has shown that a bit of quiet time spent soaking in a warm bath enhanced by Dead Sea salts and relaxing essential oils such as lavender will ease tension and reduce the effects of stress.

What does stress do to a women’s body?

Women are especially vulnerable to the negative effects of stress due to the constant hormonal changes in their bodies. Stress can lead to fatigue, irritability, and can bring on physical symptoms including headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and sleeping problems. Prolonged, unrelieved stress can also lead to anxiety and depression. The link between stress and heart disease is well-established. But did you know that stress has been also been found to damage the immune system and make you more susceptible to many auto-immune diseases such as arthritis and Alzheimer’s?

How can lavender scented Dead Sea salt help reduce stress?

The salt derived from the Dead Sea contains at least 21 different minerals with therapeutic properties that improve the health and appearance of the skin. Just soaking in a bath that contains a cup of dissolved Dead Sea salt will be good for your body and spirit.

Lavender essential oil gives Dead Sea salt the added power of scent to enhance your relaxation experience. Research has shown that scent is our most potent sense in evoking emotional responses. The health benefits of lavender essential oil include its ability to remove nervous tension, relieve pain, disinfect scalp and skin, enhance blood circulation and treat respiratory problems.

Lavender can be grown almost anywhere in the world and there are many excellent manufacturers of lavender essential oil working in the United States. Although some women prefer the gentle fragrance of French lavender, all lavender essential oils are grown and produced in similar ways. The flowers are harvested in the summer and the essential oil is extracted from the flowers through distillation. The resulting oil is light yellow in color that mixes well with water or coating bath salts.

PS: To prepare your bath, dissolve 1 cup of essential oil enhanced salt like Scented Salt Lavender Fields in warm bath water and soak for 15 -20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. Your skin will feel clean and soft and your spirit relaxed and refreshed.
