- Beauty Tips for Bath
- by Juliet Cohen
The most important ways of taking
care of body is to have a good bath. Bathing can be made a relaxing
and enjoyable experience. Making the right kind of arrangements
in the bathroom and adding the right kind accessories in the
bathroom can make your bath refreshing and soothing. Bath Beauty
for centuries herbal baths have been used for therapeutic or
bath beautypurposes. There are many benefits to taking herbal
baths for therapeutic purposes, but the added benefit is that
an herbal bath is relaxing too. The Egyptians made good use of
a therapeutic herbal bath. Cleopatra is said to have bathed in
milk and the flowers from herbs to keep her skin smooth and moist.
Romans had community herbal bath beauty, the forerunner to the
modern spa. There are two ways to prepare an herbal bath.

One method is to make an infusion;
simply steep about one half cup of the herb or herbs in two cups
of boiling water for ten to twenty minutes. Second way is to
fill a porous bag or use an old stocking to put the herbs in.
Hang the bag over the spigot so that the water will flow thru
into the tub. For a stronger bath you can use both methods. Use
fresh herbs for the most benefit. Do not expect miracles from
pots and tubes. They are there to make you look more attractive,
not to transform you completely. A few inches of fresh ginger
will warm the body and soothe joints. Slice, simmer in boiling
water for a good half hour. For an aroma therapeutic bath, keep
tub water tepid. Hot water will cause those volatile oils to
evaporate far too quickly. Do exercise in a warm bathtub. Hot
water will cause those volatile oils to evaporate far too quickly.
