Top 5 relaxing baths after a long day – By Florea
Partager
Introduction:
After an exhausting day, punctuated by endless meetings, traffic or digital solicitations, nothing beats a good bath to regain your balance. At Florea, we believe that water is a precious ally for well-being. Not only does it soothe muscle tension, but it also offers a true sensory ritual. Here is our selection of the 5 best relaxing baths, to enjoy at home, to transform your bathroom into a haven of peace.
1. Lavender and Chamomile Floral Bath
Benefits: Lavender is renowned for its calming properties on the nervous system. Chamomile, meanwhile, softens the skin and promotes sleep.
Florea Preparation:
Pour a handful of dried lavender and chamomile flowers into a cotton sachet. Add a cup of Florea Epsom salts (rich in magnesium). Let the hot water run – ideally at 37-38°C. For a more intense touch, add 5 drops of pure lavender essential oil.
Ambiance: Dim the lights, light a vanilla-scented candle, and let yourself be lulled by soft music. This bath is perfect 30 minutes before bedtime.
2. Ginger and Green Clay Detox Bath
Benefits: Ideal after a stressful day where you felt your body tense up. Ginger warms and stimulates circulation, while green clay absorbs toxins.
Florea Preparation:
Mix 3 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger with 4 tablespoons of green clay powder. Add half a cup of apple cider vinegar (perfect for balancing skin pH). Pour this mixture under running water.
Florea Tip: This bath should not exceed 20 minutes. Drink lemon water before and after to optimize elimination. Your skin will be smooth and your mind, light.
3. Soothing Bath with Rose Petals and Milk
Benefits: An ultra-soft bath to calm skin irritations and mental anxieties. Milk contains lactic acid, a natural exfoliant. Rose petals are a natural antidepressant.
Florea Preparation:
Steep a handful of dried rose petals in a liter of warm whole milk. Add a tablespoon of honey. Pour this mixture into your bath. For a complete Florea experience, add two capsules of our relaxing Damask rose oil.
Ambiance: Immerse yourself with a light book or simply your thoughts. This bath is ideal on Sunday evening, to end the week gently.
4. Revitalizing Eucalyptus and Mint Bath
Benefits: After a day where you had to stand for a long time, or if you feel mental fatigue accompanied by headaches, this bath clears the airways and invigorates the mind.
Florea Preparation:
In a bowl, mix 10 drops of eucalyptus globulus essential oil, 5 drops of peppermint, and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (to disperse the oils in the water). Pour under the running water.
Precaution: Avoid contact with eyes. This bath is not recommended for pregnant women. For a safe Florea experience, use our neutral base for aromatic baths.
5. Meditative Bath with Himalayan Salt and Cedarwood
Benefits: Himalayan pink salt contains 84 minerals that balance the electrolytic system and reduce muscle pain. Cedarwood anchors, slows the mind, and promotes concentration.
Florea Preparation:
Add 500 g of Florea Himalayan pink salt directly to the hot water. Place a cedar stick or 8 drops of cedar essential oil mixed with a dab of sweet almond oil.
Ritual: Turn off all the lights. Light a single candle. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply 10 times. This bath is recommended for a mindfulness practice.
