23 methods of relaxation with herbal baths

Healthier with herbal baths

Herbal baths are a pleasant and easy form at the same time for relaxation, health and harmonization with ourselves. Infusions or decoctions are added to the baths with herbs, even in the hot water tub. We can add in the bathroom gauze cups, filled with shredded plants.

Herbal baths can be done daily or every 2-3 days, depending on the indications, depending on the diseases or whenever we want to relax after a stressful day. Bath water is good to have a temperature of 34-37 degrees Celsius, and the duration of treatment will be depending on each one between 5 and 15 minutes.

Baths with herbs, have a direct action, at the level of the skin, and due to the active principles, are antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, healing, sedative, relaxing and of course extremely beneficial for the beauty of the skin. These herbal baths are recommended for both healthy and those with various health problems.
