Tips for Hydrotherapy at Home for Physical & Mental Health Benefits

A new buzzword amongst the wellness and beauty industry, hydrotherapy uses the principles of water to help with physical and mental health issues. While taking baths has become somewhat outdated in our fast-paced culture, slowing down and taking the time to invest in self-care can have a multitude of benefits for the mind and body.

Hydrotherapy at home focuses on treating sore muscles, aching joints, and a stressful or anxious mind. Physical benefits of hydrotherapy are many, including pain relief, increased range of motion, increased circulation, detoxification, and more. Those who are diagnosed with conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other autoimmune diseases often find taking long baths before bed can decrease pain and inflammation.

Epsom salt bath soaks are especially helpful, as they boost magnesium levels, eliminate toxins, relieve constipation, reduce inflammation, and improve blood sugar levels. Look for bath soaks that also have Grade A Essential Oils like hemp seed and coconut, which are rich in antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

Mental health benefits of hydrotherapy include relieving chronic pain, calming the mind, and preparing the body for sleep. Conditions like depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep disorders often deal with an increased heart rate and tense body. Lavender bubble bath relaxes the mind naturally, encouraging tense muscles to relax an anxious mind to get ready to sleep. Mental health issues often interfere with sleep, like depression’s insomnia or anxiety's inability to sleep soundly through the night.

Take a warm, not hot, bath about an hour before your desired bedtime. As the water slowly gets closer to your natural body temperature, step out of the tub and into a robe or soft pajamas. This ritual is a simple yet calming way to encourage the body to sleep. Include a bubble bath with gentle fragrances that you love. Scents like chamomile, lavender, and other floral notes are wonderful fragrances to instigate a regular bedtime schedule.

While you’re in the bathtub, use a glycerin soap to gently cleanse your body and moisturize your skin. Afterward, use a silky body cream to lock in the moisture and ease aching joints and muscles. Ingredients like coenzyme Q10 and cocoa butter naturally hydrate and encourage new cell growth simultaneously, perfect for chronically dry skin like eczema, dermatitis, and more.

Whether you’re looking to treat physical discomfort or mental health stressors, hydrotherapy at home is a natural solution that works for many. Take a bath before bedtime and experience transcendent rest, lasting comfort, and a full night’s sleep.
