The human body is made mostly of water and that is why we are encouraged to drink plenty of it. But soaking in it is also extremely beneficial. You can enhance this by adding certain natural products.
Not only does a warm bath make the blood flow easier, it also makes it more oxygenated by allowing you to breathe deeper and slower, particularly when taking in steam. Taking a hot bath or spa can kill bacteria and improve immunity, it can also relieve the symptoms of cold and flu.
Below are YK DAILY'S top tips on making yourself the ultimate natural bath...

Have Herbal Tea Straight After
The antioxidants and vitamins found in herbal teas are great for helping fight disease and infections, protect against oxidative stress, and lower the risk of chronic disease. Some of the best immune-boosting herbal teas are elderberry, echinacea, ginger, and liquorice root tea, enjoy one straight after your bath, you will be in ultimate chill mode.

Open your senses and add a few drops of essential oil into your bath for peace and tranquility. The steam will clear your sinuses and make you feel totally relaxed.
Soak In A Bath Full Of Herbal Teas
The argument for bathing in tea versus simply drinking it is all about reaping the benefits quickly. When you bathe in green tea for example, you’re directly absorbing the nutrients in your skin versus sipping a cup every once in a while and getting disappointed that you’re not glowing with health. In short, it’s easy, it’s quick, it’s all-natural, and it’ll be a fun, different treat for your skin.
Warm Your Bathrobe
A total spa experience at home. There is nothing better than cuddling into a fresh warm robe after having a bath, in our opinion of course!
Create Your Own Citrus Bath Bombs
