After a long day, there can be nothing more relaxing than a soothing soak in the tub. But before you use a chemical product in your next bath, we compiled a list of healing and rejuvenating ingredients that you can add to your bath. These are tried and tested ingredients which have worked every time.
Neem leaves: Boil a few neem leaves till the time they turn soft. You will notice the water turning green because of the discolouration of the leaves. Strain this water and add some of it in your bath water. Neem leaves have antibacterial and antifungal properties and hence is useful for skin infections. They also soothe irritation and reduce inflammation without drying the skin.
Oatmeal: Just add some oats to your bath water and allow it to settle for 5 minutes till the oatmeal settles in the bottom of the bucket. Use the water on the surface to wash and then take a bath with some fresh water. Oatmeal is rich in vitamins and minerals that are excellent for nourishing and healing damaged and dry skin.
Rose water: To a tub of warm water, drop some rose water or sprinkle some rose petals in it. The heat will release the fragrance of roses, infusing your bathroom with the scent of the flower thus relaxing your body and mind.
Salt: Just adding some Epsom salt to your bath water can be a great way to de-stress your body. The magnesium in Epsom salt will help increase the production of energy in the cells, making you feel invigorated by keeping the mind and body fresh.
Sandalwood or chandan: You can add some sandalwood or chandan powder or oil in your bath water and bathe in it. Sandalwood helps soothe inflammation so if your skin is itchy, you can use sandalwood as a way to heal your skin.
