Bathing can be an important part of one's daily routine that
provides therapeutic effects for both the body and mind. Relaxing in a
bath in the morning can open pores, relax the mind and soothe aching
muscles, making it a perfect way to begin the day. The routine is the
perfect way to infuse the body with all natural remedies.
The
benefits of therapeutic bathing have been known and in use for many
years. Archeologists have found large bathing structures in many
villages as well as private homes equipped with private baths and a
complex drainage system.
In Greece water was seen as a gift of
health from the gods and visitors can still see the ruins of sunken
baths in Pompeii. When visiting the bath of Napoleon's wife, visitors
continue to this day to smell her signature fragrance of musk.
