It is a much known tradition in Japan that a workingman or woman would get a hot bath just after getting back from work. Actually they are able to program their bathes to prepare the hot water tub until they are back from work, comment the Grupo Mayan experts. From the Japanese traditions also is to conserve the water so, they bath in one tub then move to a clean hot water tub to relax for a period of time. This clean water could be used several times by the other members of the family.
Even if it is not usual till now but many men are enjoying secret aromatic bathes as most of men, even those who already took one, think that this is an activity more related to women and not men.
How to add the essential oil to your bath
You cannot use the essential oil directly on your body or even in the water without any dilution as this may cause some burns to your skin. Grupo Mayan experts say that the first step is to add few drops of the aromatic essential oil to one ounce of carrier oil. The essential oil is chosen according to the aim of the bath, lavender for relaxation or chamomile for sleeping. After that add the carrier oil to the water while the bath is still filling up and stir it to ensure the good distribution in the water.
The usage of relatively hot water could boost the effect of the bath but there are several precautions to take care of:
- Take care of the long staying inside the bath with hot vapor around you may cause suffocation.
- The long sitting down in the bathtub may cause over relaxation so take care when you are standing up, recommend the Grupo Mayan experts.
- Read well the instructions of the safe use of your chosen essential oil. It is always written in the back of the essential oil pack.
- Try to ad some music or dim the light of the aim of the bath is to relax.
