In today's competitive world we are
dealing with work pressure on the mind at all times, so physical and mental stress
is bound to happen. In this situation, we want something that can give us quick
relief. Our body and mind needs to be rejuvenated so that we can complete the
remaining work with bullet speed. Now the question arises that what can be done
that can provide us immediate relief.
Take proper Shower.
You may be surprised to know that to
remove fatigue and body pain, I am advising you to take a bath. But you do not
have to take a bath as you have been doing till now. You have to mix some herbs
or essential oil in your bathwater. They will give you quick relief by reducing
the increased tension, irritation, and fatigue in your body. The method of
bathing in this way is known as Herb Bath and is explained in our ancient literature.
Release stress and tension: Bath with
this method
Keeping in mind the temperature of the
body, our ancestors had made some bathing rules! But today most people have
forgotten these rules or they have never been taught these secrets. Let us know
what Ayurveda says about the steps on how to take a bath properly.
Steps on how to take a bath
properly:
2. You should wash your face after the
arms.
3. After the face pour water on your
feet. Wash both your legs up to thighs. After this, you can take a bath by pouring
water on your head.
This is the reason
You must be wondering, what difference
it makes if not bathed like this? Or what does it mean that on which body part we
first pour water while bathing? The reason is that if this rhythm is followed
during bathing, the body temperature gradually decreases and the body adjusts
to the changing temperature comfortably.
If during a bathe water is poured on
the head suddenly, then the body temperature is reduced immediately with shock,
which is not good for our body and the heart. Usually, the problem of seasonal
illness (cold and fever) also surrounds us because we do not follow body
temperature while carrying out our daily activities. If this habit continues
for a long time, then we may have to face diseases like heart ailments or
paralysis.
How to take a herbal bath?
You can choose any herb to bathe like
lavender, peppermint, rosemary, and celery. If you have extracts of these herbs
in liquid form then you should take 25 to 30 ml of each. On the other hand, if
you have these herbs in dry form (powder), then you can take 5 to 6 spoon for
bathtub and 3 to 4 spoon for a bucket.
In case of dry herbs, take one liter
of water and put these herbs in it. Boil this water and then leave the herbs to
soak for 20 minutes. Now filter this water in a sieve and mix it in the water in
your bucket or bathtub. Keep in mind that whenever you are very tired and the
weather is cold or it is night time, the bathwater should be lukewarm. It helps
to increase blood circulation in the body and relaxes the nerves.
Alternatively, take one liter of water
and bring it to a boil. Add lavender or lemon essential oil in it. Also, mix 5
spoon rose water. Mix the prepared liquid in the bathwater. It is better to mix
this water in the bathtub and sit in it for 20 minutes. This will relax your
muscles and remove all tiredness and fatigue.
