Soaking in a bath is not just something we do purely to clean ourselves, it’s a ritual that many of us practice for rejuvenation and relaxation. When the gloomy weather gets you down or you’re dealing with stress, one of the best ways to escape from everything is to take a long, hot aromatherapy bath containing relaxing and revitalizing mineral salts & essential oils.

Baths Soaking is a Century old tradition and ritual…

The ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans really understood the powerful, therapeutic healing properties of plain water and took advantage of this at every available opportunity. The Romans developed the art of bathing into a national pastime by building highly sophisticated public baths known as Thermae.

In each building would be three pools; hot, lukewarm and cold which were respectively known as the caldarium, tepidarium and frigidarium. Sometimes there would also be a steam bath, which was called the sudatorium.

The ‘water cure’ was common term for the Greek healing tradition comprising of several therapies which made skillful use of waters healing power;

• Hydrotherapy – techniques of therapeutic bathing and use of water
• Balneotherapy – therapeutic bathing in medicinal and thermal springs
• Thalassotherapy – the therapeutic use of ocean bathing and marine product

Like the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, we shouldn’t underestimate the therapeutic power of an aromatherapy bath. Afterall it is one of the best (and easiest) ways to unwind and enjoy the healing benefits of Essential Oils.
