Health Benefits of a Bath

After a long day, many people often find themselves unwinding and kicking back in a nice hot bath. The deep muscle relaxation that is associated with a hot bath is known to help reduce cramps, tension, headaches, and general soreness, but a hot bath can also do wonders for your stress levels. After working at a desk all day, your body is often tight, sore, and exhausted. Did you know that there are other benefits that come with a hot relaxing bath?

• A hot enough bath can help induce sweat, which helps the body remove toxins.
• A hot bath can increase circulation of the lymph system.
• A hot bath can improve your immune system and help fight off infection and colds.
• By adding oils like eucalyptus, you can benefit from many different health benefits that come from the use of these often holistically used oils.
• Hot baths increase blood circulation throughout the body.

It’s no secret that a hot bath is a great way to relax, but with all of the other health benefits, it seems like an easy health booster that you can do every day.

The Power of Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy has been recognized for hundreds, if not thousands of years, as having profound healing effects. Perhaps mankind’s first medicine, the holistic practice of using essential oils to cure or curb illness has been a popular practice for many who follow a more natural path. These oils can help stimulate the body, help the body relax and sleep better, and just overall help in de-stressing from a long day. Using essential oils in your steam shower can yield great health benefits to your body and mind. Below are a few popular oils that you might want to try in your steam sauna:

· Eucalyptus: Eucalyptus is known to help open air passageways and promote healthier respiratory function. Eucalyptus is also highly refreshing.
· Lavender: Sweet, floral, and overall great at soothing anxiety with its overall calming and restorative attributes.
· Vanilla: Not only a flavor, but the essence of vanilla has many benefits. Studies have shown that the smell of vanilla can help you calm down and mellow out.

At Steam Sauna Depot, we carry a large selection of essential oils that can be used with the SteamSpa Aromatherapy Oil Pump that we carry. If you don’t currently have an oil pump in your steam shower, consider the amazing relaxing benefits of using essential oils to help you relax from the stresses of everyday life.
