Stress Relief Bath
Relax and stresses are two words which are interdependent on each other. When you don't find time to relax yourself, you are more probable of getting stress.
What is stress?
Stress is an element of nature that affects every individual. Medically, stress is any factor that threatens the health of the body or has an adverse effect on its normal functioning. Constant stress brings about changes in the hormones of the body. When healthy resistance breaks down under too much stress, damage and disease invade.
Where will it lead?
Overstress is a fundamental cause of physical illness. In the human world stress invades from mental and emotional places as well as the physical. Stress can come like a lightning flash; a fall, a broken heart, bad news, or it can grow slowly like toxic deposits in cells over years. Stress can sometimes get the upper hand and cause negative effects and physical breakdowns. Many stressful days in a row can lead to chronic fatigue, a zone where there is neither energy nor rest. This is a time when the body needs to rally its resistance.
How water works?
- Water, the crucible of life, also has therapeutic qualities .The recuperative and healing properties of hydrotherapy are based on its mechanical and/or thermal effects.
- It exploits the body's reaction to hot and cold stimuli, to the protracted application of heat, to pressure exerted by the water and to the sensation it gives.
- The nerves carry impulses felt at the skin deeper into the body, where they are instrumental in stimulating the immune system, influencing the production of stress hormones, invigorating the circulation and digestion, encouraging blood flow, and lessening pain sensitivity.
- Water with heat relaxes muscle tension that restricts fluid and energy flow. The magnetic fields of the nervous system flow through the surrounding water molecules. The effects are a profound and noticeable release from stress and pain
- When you submerge yourself in a bath tub, you experience a kind of weightlessness. Your body is relieved from the constant pull of gravity.

Turning your bath into a therapeutic anti-stress treatment requires a scientific approach, namely time and temperature. The bathroom should be warm and have clean towels. The bed should be prepared and ready to crawl into. The relaxing hydrotherapy bath technique will greatly aid in stress reduction and allow the body to fall into a deeper rest. Regular use of an anti-stress therapy bath will neutralize many stress factors through deep relaxation. New recovery energy stimulates a stronger natural resistance and a rebound to health.
Botanicals used in Stress Reduction:
Botanicals for use in the therapeutic bath are usually of two kinds, herbal extracts and essential oils. Many plants produce an aromatic substance, which are the essential oils. Herbal extracts are the dissolving of compounds found in the herb by means of solvents, usually an alcohol and water combination. Herbal extracts and essential oils contain actives that can aid in stress reduction when made available to the body in the water bath.
