Jump Start Romance with Soothing Baths
Any bath can be used as a means of sensual stimulation toward other fulfilling moments. Your mind, body and love life will benefit from these baths.
What you’ll need: Steam, water, scents and ability to touch.
The most important element of a sensually pampered bath experience is the ability to indulge and the time to do it. It’s been the same since people flocked to public steam baths in ancient Sparta. While bathing and pampering helps women care for their bodies; the rituals of bath treatments help unify mind, body and spirit for overall well-being. (Also see types of spas)
Spas have been built for the same reasons, but their design and features continue to change. The palatial ancient Roman baths of Carcalla, Diocletian were set in huge gardens and included swimming pools, sporting areas, galleries, and libraries.
Russian banyas feature steam baths, cold pools and platzas (which consist of whacking the skin with soaking oak branches). Women all over the world have used sweat lodges both to purify the body and spirit and to communicate with their ancestors. Japanese sentos (penny baths) typically have both hot and cold pools and traditionally offer shiatsu massage.
Today bathing therapy increasingly addresses our more active and inquisitive lifestyles. Bathing is so popular because it restores the body, balances life, revives the mind and energizes the spirit.
