25 Bath Trays That Will Make Your Space Feel Like A Spa
While a relaxing bath may seem like a well-deserved indulgence, science shows that a warm bath is also good for your health. Harvard Medical School has determined that balneotherapy (bath therapy) is helpful in reducing pain and keeping your heart healthy, via Harvard Health Publishing. A warm bath will also promote better circulation and soothe your nervous system, which can reduce stress, explains USA Today. It's good to know that what people have believed all along — that there's nothing better than a warm bath before bed — is now recommended by the medical community as a key to better health.
Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue appreciates the benefit of relaxing in a warm bath, as she says, "I love to have a bath with beautiful, relaxing music on and have no rush to do anything. It's a wonderful indulgence, and it helps me to calm down and stop my mind running over time," per International Business Times. Designer Vera Wang makes it part of her daily routine. "My evening really begins when I take a long, hot bath...It's when I can breathe from the day to the night, and that means a lot to me." In order to receive all the benefits that a warm bath can provide, it's important to make this time as relaxing as possible. Consider adding one of these bath trays to your tub to make your bath time feel like you're relaxing in a spa.
