Relax ~ Reset ~ Restore

The winter season is here and one of my favorite self care things to do is taking a cozy bath. Self care bath time is not about “cleaning” yourself, rather it is a time to relax, reset, and restore. There are numerous benefits to soaking in a bath. Lighting candles, filling the tub with bubbles, epsom salts, essential oils, CBD salts, a large glass of water, relaxing music and a book or magazine are all beautiful ways to create a nourishing setting for your cozy bath. Once you have filled your bath with warm water, added your ingredients to the tub, sit back, relax and soak. Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out, repeat.

Not only is this a comforting time, soaking in the bath, but it is also a time of detoxification and healing. The minerals in the epsom salts are believed to help remove toxins from the body to improve your overall health. The magnesium absorption is another benefit of epsom salt baths; healthy magnesium levels can reduce stress and induce sleep. I love to take my soaks in the evening to decompress from my day and to settle in to my evening routine for a restful sleep. Epsom salt baths may also provide pain relief and reduce swelling in those that are struggling with inflammatory conditions. I personally love adding Susan’s CBD bath soak salts for added stress relief and for an anti-inflammatory effect. I truly hope you find these tips for baths to be beneficial! Throughout the year I suggest enjoying a weekly bath to nourish your body, mind, and soul. Happy soaking!
