It comes as no surprise that the pandemic has catapulted wellness into the forefront. The wellness trends for 2022 is filled with approaches to boost up our mental, physical, emotional, and even spiritual wellbeing.
One such trend: bathing rituals.
That’s right. A good ol’ soak can do wonders for you. And here are three reasons why:
#1: Bathing Rituals Are Deeply Calming
There’s something about being in water that’s incredibly relaxing. Maybe it’s the body’s ability to float, so there’s a lack of gravitational pull on it.
Whatever the reason, even science shows the calming benefits bathing has on the body. One such study compared the mental effects of showers versus bathing. The results showed the participants who bathed reported to feel less stressed and smiled more than those who showered.
So if you’re having just one of those days, consider a nice, hot, bubbly bath.
#2: They Soothe Aching Muscles
Bathing rituals not only soothe the nervous system, but it helps with tired muscles and body fatigue as well. And lean back to experience the benefits of floatation.
Research suggest that floating in water allows the muscles and joints to relax and therefore, lowers levels of stress hormones and blood pressure. It can also help with:
- Treatment for chronic pain
- Stress-related pain
- Pain associated with conditions like fibromyalgia
A bath for your pain is great, but wait until you add in the little touches that make the overall experience a truly incredible one.
#3: Add Ins Can Level Up the Benefits
When you think of taking a bath, bubbles might come to mind. And why not — add ins make a daily ritual turn into holistic experience, right?
Aromatherapy oils, bath bombs, and even Epsom salt can level up your bath. Each help enhance your wellbeing in their own ways — from hydrating your skin, providing nutrients and anti-inflammatory properties, detoxifying, and so much more.
What’s more, apply a facial mask or deep condition your hair during your soak so you can truly maximize your time. And always remember to drink water after.
