For many, bath time is a moment of relaxation at the end of the day. You can even take advantage of the properties of many plants that, when in contact with heat, have therapeutic characteristics.
However, immersion baths have a big problem, which is the great waste of water they cause. A 5-minute shower consumes 30 liters of water, while an immersion bath consumes 300 liters.
To find, then, a balanced solution that is sustainable but at the same time allows bath time to be a time of rest and tranquility, you can try these 5 ways to relax while you shower!
1. Relaxing shower with a branch
One of the easiest ways to turn any shower into a relaxing bath is to hang a eucalyptus branch under the shower head. This plant has relaxing, antiseptic and bactericidal properties, and also opens the respiratory tract.
If you hang it under the shower, the steam from the shower will cause the eucalyptus leaves to give off a rich oil. In this way, you will benefit from a relaxing, healthy, and also sustainable bath. In addition, the bouquet will not last you a single shower, but… you can leave it all week!
2. Massage shower head
Perhaps what you need to make your shower more relaxing is to change the shower head. There are many different types, some adapted for massage; or even, some people change the shower for a hydromassage column.
If you get one that, in addition to being a massager, is designed to save water, much better!
3. Essential oils
Did you think that the only way to harness the power of essential oils in the bathroom was to place a few drops in the full bathtub? You were wrong.
To use essential oils in the shower, just place a few drops on a small washcloth. Then, get in the shower with her, and prop her up on your chest or on your shoulders. The hot water will cause the oil to vaporize and enter your lungs.
The best oils for taking a shower are relaxing ones, such as lavender, orange or sandalwood.
