Floral Bath
March 5, 2009
Bathing and beauty sessions were of prime importance to Roman, Egyptian as well as oriental women. They made warm water along with a combination of herbs, salts and flowers famous due to the unique health benefits they provided to their bath.
Herbal and leaf bath – Bay leaves, rosemary and chamomile leaves are tied together tightly in a piece of muslin and this bundle is left to soak in lukewarm bath water for half an hour. The bundle should be taken out of the water once it turns fragrant and then used to scrub the body. This should be followed by a bath in the fragrant water, which helps to relax and tone up the body.
Floral bath – Chamomile flowers, Rose petals, tube roses and even agrimony should be tied in a muslin cloth and soaked in bath water. This helps to make the skin smooth and also improve skin tone.
Milk bath – Used by Poppaea, wife of Nero, who used to bathe in donkeys milk and water, this bath is supposed to nourish the skin. This can be made at home by mixing half a liter of milk along with two tablespoons of honey along with chamomile juice or crushed rose petals mixed with water. All these ingredients should be mixed with lukewarm bath water. Soak in a bathtub containing this mix or apply it slowly all over the body. A normal bath can be taken once the solution is over.
Dry skin bath – 200 ml of glycerin should be added to 200 ml of rosewater in a bottle and applied all over the body starting from the neck right down to the legs. This nourishes the skin. Once the body has absorbed the entire solution, a normal bath using a glycerin-based soap should be taken.
Almond bath – The best solution for dry skin, this should be used in peak winters when all skin types tend to dry up. Crushed almonds should be tied in a muslin cloth. This should be used to scrub the entire body when it is wet. This helps to nourish the skin without damaging it with its essential oils. It should be used as a substitute for soap.
Vinegar bath – A little malt vinegar should be mixed with water and applied all over the body. A cold-water bath can be taken after this. This is an excellent solution for oily skin.
