National Bubble Bath Day

On a cold winters’ day, relaxing in a nice hot bubble bath sounds like the perfect way to the end of a stressful day but little do you know that you just celebrated National Bubble Bath Day, which is celebrated on January 8th.

 

I mean honestly you don’t need a reason to hop in your tub and pour some bubble bath into it. You can add the candles and the glass of wine to aid in the ambiance (that would be a good pic too...ijs). However, using those bubble bath ingredients may have some hidden benefits that the candles and glass of wine won’t have. It has been proven that bubble baths can be very beneficial to your health. Even if you are a strict shower person after reading this you might want to try out some of these bath-tub secrets.

Some of the health benefits can include stabilizing your blood pressure, reducing your stress, help your immune system and aiding in your sleep at night. Heat therapy, such as soaking in a tub for 20 minutes or so, can help stabilize your blood pressure and contribute to overall better heart health by increasing and improving blood flow to and from the heart. Not only will your body feel less sore and more relaxed following a bath, but studies have shown that bathing can also help you experience less mental fatigue (stress). Increasing your body temperature with a hot bath can boost your body’s ability to fight infections and viruses. Simply making a routine out of relaxing in the tub at the end of a rough day has been proven to improve your sleeping schedule and quality.

There are so many kinds of bubble baths that you can’t really choose only one. Also, there are now natural remedies to add into your bath so you can release the toxins from your day out or in. Some of the most popular bubble baths can be bubblegum, vanilla and cherry blossom scented. The most natural remedy to put in your bath is a combination of lavender, peppermint oil, Epson salt and mint. This helps with releasing those daily toxins I previously talked about.

There’s nothing quite like the warm feeling from a relaxing bath. You’re finally allowed some “me” time, and you feel clean and luxurious. So, I know what I will be doing later tonight, I will be preparing me a nice hot bath with lots and lots of bubbles. Until next time my faithful readers, be blessed.
