The approaching new year usually means more stress for most people. According to an American Psychological Association poll, more than 38% of respondents said that the holidays brought on higher levels of stress, anxiety, and despair as well as more substance usage. Salt baths are a great way to destress this season. A hot salty bath helps reduce stress and elevate endorphins which can alleviate exhaustion and elevate mood.
With a rich history spanning over a millennium, salt baths have gained recognition for their therapeutic attributes. Listed below are four attributes of salt baths:
1. Eases discomfort in aching and tense muscles.
2. Decreases cortisol levels, promoting deep relaxation.
3. Nourishes and hydrates the skin, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
4. Possesses anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that aid in addressing skin conditions such as acne.
To sum up, if you can, take a bath, relax and get ready for the New Year. Soak in the hot water for at least 20 minutes, making sure to breathe deeply and take in the calming atmosphere. Give your body the time to relax and reset. Enjoy the feeling of rejuvenation and prepare for a successful New Year.
