5 Quick Tips for a Muscle-Relaxing Bath

There's nothing quite like a hot, relaxing bath at the end of a long day to unwind and decompress. Whether you enjoy a bubble bath filled to the brim or prefer a quiet soak with a good book or glass of wine, a bath can be a powerful tool for mental health and physical tension relief.

If you've been dealing with body aches and pains, or general soreness, we recommend indulging in a long, muscle relaxing bath. Here are five quick tips to enhance your bath experience and create the ultimate relaxing bubble bath.

1. Start with Essential Oils

Your muscle relaxing bath starts with the use of essential oils. The holistic, restorative compounds found in plant extracts work from the inside out to promote a range of health benefits, including stress reduction, inflammation reduction, sleep promotion, headache mitigation, and alleviation of aches and pains. Choose from a variety of essential oil bath products for effective results.

2. Select Bath Salts for Inflammation

Bath salts for sore muscles are another fantastic way to enhance your hot bath, as well as target aches and pains. Soothing lavender, rose, and coconut milk contain anti-inflammatory properties that provide effective pain relief, and give you the added benefits of soothing aromatherapy.

3. Use a High-Quality Bath Bomb

The best bath soak for sore muscles involves a high-quality bath bomb to mitigate aches and pains while providing some sensory pleasure. Select an all-natural bath bomb that won't overwhelm you with fake fragrances or dye your tub bright colors. A bath bomb with organic essential oils is exactly what the doctor ordered for a muscle relaxing bath!

4. Sit Back & Relax with a Luxe Pillow

Incorporate a plush bath pillow into your bath time to avoid neck strain and cradle your head and shoulders. Perfect for pampering a sore neck and for helping back pain, use your pillow again and again—but especially in a pain relief bath.

5. Apply a Luxurious Body Butter

When you're ready to drain the water, step out of your hot bath for sore muscles and blend a luxurious body butter into affected areas. The steam of the bath will have opened your pores and loosened muscle tension, allowing the healing ingredients of a high-quality body butter to work their magic.
