The benefits of an aromatized bath:
An aromatized bath provides many benefits for our system, whether psychological or physiological.
Indeed, adding a mixture of essential oils and aromatic hydrosols first creates an aromatic fragrance allowing a moment of relaxation and intense relaxation.

In addition to these relaxing effects on the body, this bath can also provide you with therapeutic skin and physiological benefits, whether for breathing, circulation or muscles!
Since essential oils are hydrophobic, they do not mix with water and remain in clusters on the surface of the water (dangerous for the skin in their pure state). Thus, it is necessary to dilute the essential oils with your washing products (preferably neutral) or with solubol or vegetable oils or hydrosols…
