It’s Bathtime! Tips for Bathroom Self-Care Practices – First Choice Plus Plumbing, Restoration & Air

Self Care Spa Day in Your Bathroom

A Valentine’s Day spent relaxing in a spa may sound luxurious but out-of-reach for many Americans. A private bathroom spa offers maximum privacy, no travel required, and the ability to soak.

The Benefits of Soaking

In addition to Valentine’s Day, baths used for self-care have benefits ranging from stress relief to decreasing blood pressure.

Blood circulation is a crucial function for the entire body to function correctly. Without proper blood circulation, the cardiovascular system can malfunction. Healthy oxygen circulation is imperative to deliver nutrients and keep the body running at an optimal level. Poor circulation can be a result of underlying health conditions such as smoking.

Taking a warm bath is known to help circulate blood flow, particularly true for blood circulation in the legs. By improving vascular function, blood pressure is likely to decrease as vessels relax. High blood pressure is frequently caused by lifestyle, including irregular physical activity and sleeping habits.

Sleep experts recommend a warm bath before going to sleep. Since body temperature cools before bedtime, immersing the body in warm water can regulate this process. Bathroom remodeling can lead to a better night’s sleep.

In addition to temperature regulation, a warm bath can also relax the muscles and mind. It is common to feel stress from the day still, even if it’s not at the forefront of the mind. Meditative practices are used to quiet anxiety and reduce tension. Baths before bedtime can stop the underlying physical or emotional effects from stress that lead to a troubled night’s sleep.

Color Therapy Reaches the Bath

There are a few techniques to add to a home spa experience. Aromatherapy and bath salts, used for decades to provide a relaxing experience, will alter both the olfactory and tactile senses.

Chromatherapy is a more advanced method used in bathroom spas. The theory behind chromatherapy is that color can greatly influence mood and emotional health. For instance, a low-lit lamp is more soothing than fluorescent overheads at an office. Color is a relatively new addition to the modern spa tub experience.

Luxury bath installation for chromatherapy uses LED lights inside the tub. Light lenses located underneath the water have a more pronounced effect than using colored bulbs in the ceiling lights. Homeowners can use a variety of tubs with colored lighting that calms both mind and body.

Modernized Rain Showers

Bathroom spas do not depend on the tub. Rain showers provide a soft water spray that can mimic a waterfall or add low-pressure water to the experience.

Basic shower installation is not complicated because it only revolves around the nozzle’s head. The rain shower heads are typically more significant than a regular shower head and provide a much softer pressure. This head type is primarily used in at-home spa settings to decrease tension.

Specific shower replacement options have modernized, waterproof speakers that can mimic the sound of rain or provide relaxing music. Built-in speakers can now be installed inside the bathtub and against the shower wall.

Because the rain shower head is more comprehensive, it gives off a sleek and modern vibe. There are different options for material and color. For a warmer look, brushed nickel or oil-rubbed bronze may be ideal.
