The Wellbeing Benefits of Having a Bath
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s more important than ever to find time to relax and unwind. Today even morning rituals have been transformed into long, often overwhelming lists of wellbeing hacks you ‘have to try’. In the midst of ice plunges, protein powders and olive oil shots, the humble bath is often overlooked. But beyond being a long-standing soothing ritual, a bath can offer a host of physical and mental health benefits. Add your favourite Bath & Shower Gel or even a Bath Tablet from our Blissful Bathing set and you have a spa experience in the comfort of your own home.
Reduce Stress
An immediate benefit of a soothing soak in the tub is its calming effect on the mind. Warm water has been shown to help to lower our levels of cortisol – the hormone associated with stress – so making it easier to relax. The tranquil environment of a bath also encourages mindfulness – andyou can enhance this with a soothing fragrance. Some scents have even been shown to boost our levels of feel-good hormones such as serotonin. Our Willow Song fragrance is a calming blend of romantic floaty green and white florals while Whisky & Water is comforting and enveloping, with notes of spices and woods.
Relieve Tension
Warm water has been shown to improve circulation, which may help to soothe sore muscles and stiff joints. Whether you have a chronic condition such as arthritis, want to revive tired muscles after sport or exercise or simply need to switch off after a busy or stressful day, soaking in the bath allows both body and mind to relax and unwind.
Support Circulation
Warm water helps to improve blood flow. As well as soothing sore muscles, this can stimulate our lymphatic system, which can help the body to fight infections.
Sweet Dreams
A warm bath before bed can help you to drift off as the drop in body temperature when you get out of the bath signals to your body that it’s time to wind down. Choose a relaxing scent such as Tea Rose – our modern interpretation of a classic Rose fragrance with notes of Black Tea.
Meet the new addition to our Tea Rose collection – Blissful Bathing. This luxurious set contains everything you need to create a soothing bath ritual with two miniature Bath & Shower Gels and two scented Bath Tablets.
