To relax after a busy day, nothing better than a good hot bath. This one actually has many benefits. In particular, it has the power to calm the nervous system and thus reduce our stress rate. It also helps strengthen our immune defenses and eliminate bacteria. Finally, a warm bath helps to breathe better, cleaning the sinuses and lungs.
But that's not all ! By adding flowers to the water in our bathtub, bathing can have many other benefits. Like a tea, our bath will infuse the benefits of flowers. Do you have a bouquet of flowers at home? So run a bath of hot water, remove the petals from the flowers, and then sprinkle them in your bathtub.
What flowers left to infuse?
If your only desire is to have a good time, just choose flowers whose color and smell you like. On the other hand, know that each flower has a very particular power. Need to relax, invigorate yourself, hydrate your skin? For each need, a bath recipe infused with flowers. Preparations which, for some, can be kept in pretty glass bottles around the bathtub.
– A relaxing lavender bath. For this, add several sprigs of lavender to your bath water, as well as 5 drops of lavender essential oil (5.59 euros on amazon.fr).
– A hydrating rose bath. Add a few flowers, petals or rose buds to your bath water (16.99 euros on amazon.fr), then a glass of powdered milk.
– An antioxidant bath with basil. This is one of the beauty secrets of the singer Madonna. To reproduce it at home, infuse several dozen basil leaves in your bath.
Depending on your tastes and desires, you can add other ingredients to your bath. Oat flakes, bath salts, chamomile flowers, ginger powder, eucalyptus leaves, orange or lemon rings … create your tailor-made bath!
Ready-made preparations
For those who do not have time, it is also possible to directly obtain flowery preparations intended for the bath, or bath bombs incorporating dried flowers (Fluffy Nest milky bath bomb with purple flowers, 6.90 euros on myjoliecandle.com).
