Flower Bath Benefits
Ok, ok, some of us might just be doing this for the drop-dead gorgeous pictures, but I swear there actually are some health benefits!
In Bali, The Balinese people take their culture and heritage seriously and all customs and ceremonies and performed with purpose. This is also true for the flower bath. Bali flower bath is actually called the ‘ceremony of flowers’.
The benefit of the flower bath will depend on the flower bath recipes for the bath base and the flower petals used. The Bali flower spa experience is certainly more worth doing when you see the benefits for your body, mind and soul.
Flowers such as the lotus are used for skin softening
Rose petals are said to help hydrate the skin
Lavender brings about relaxation and calm
Marigolds are traditionally used in many Hindu ceremonies, and aim in healing swelling and bruising on the skin
The citrus bath also has incredible energizing benefits said to invigorate the skin and increase Vitamin C intakes.
Detox baths and salt baths aid in relieving stress from the muscles and release tension.
Milk and coconut baths help most prominently with skin hydration and suppleness.
