Take your Tea in the Bath
trade your bubbles for tea leaves and increase the healing effects of your next soak.
Hot baths are known to aid with stress relief and melt tension. Toss in some herbs and flowers that are proven to soothe irritated or dry skin, decrease overall inflammation and deliver aromatherapy effects, and you have an elevated treatment for the mind, body and soul. Here’s how it works.
skin absorption
The skin is the largest organ, and it has an incredible ability to quickly absorb antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and other properties. When you add ingredients to your bath, you can protect and nourish the body from the outside in.
mental break
The sense of smell is powerful, and herbs like chamomile and lavender are known to work wonders for calming the nervous system. When used as a bath, the steam delivers an added and potent aromatherapy perk.
visual cues
Sometimes you just need something pretty. Much like having fresh flowers in the house, taking a bath with rosebuds immediately gives you something to smile about. Don’t second guess the power of small pleasures.
