Bath Remedies

Therapeutic bathing is medicinal. It is not pharmaceutical medicine as we have come to know it in the West. Therapeutic baths have healing, soothing, and medicinal qualities that have been discussed in previous sections of this site. This page provides a glimpse into how therapeutic baths can be used to ease common minor ailments.

Bath remedies are an intricate part of any holistic wellness program. The benefits are tremendous and all you need is a bath tub with the right herbal and mineral mixtures to create your own home spa therapy center.
