The notion of merely tossing a handful of herbs into the bath and then soaking in the water amid fragrant flowers and leaves may seem rather romantic, but it won't be very romantic when you step out of the tub and have to pick leaves and flowers off your body. One method for preparing an herbal bath is to make a strong infusion from the herb or herbs you chose, then adding it to the water. Strain the liquid and add it to the bath. To get the most benefit from your bath, pay close attention to the temperature of the water.
Warm baths relax muscles, while cool baths stimulate the body.
Most physicians and researchers agree that a water temperature equivalent to your internal body temperature is ideal for a relaxing bath. Higher temperatures are likely to make you feel very sleepy. A water temperature around 92 degrees F. is still relaxing but also refreshes the body. This website is being hosted and maintained by Hill Country Internet Advertising.
