Today, soaking in the bath after a long day, is not only one of life’s simple pleasures, but has been found to have significant benefits for your health. Research has shown that taking regular hot baths could reduce blood sugar levels and even lower your risk of heart disease.
Research carried out by the Northumbria University sleep centre found that taking a bath an hour, to two hours, before bed is the ideal time for helping you to achieve maximum benefits; having a hot bath increases your core body temperature, then when you get out, this starts to decrease, which is when you start to get those sleep-inducing benefits, which can not only help you fall asleep quicker, but also improve the quality of your sleep.
You can enhance your daily ritual by soaking in essential oils or bath salts which offer a range of benefits for your body and mind. Essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, or chamomile can promote relaxation, ease stress, and improve sleep quality. Whilst bath salts, such as Epsom salt, help
soothe sore muscles, reduce inflammation, and detoxify the skin by drawing out impurities.
