To help relax after a long day at work or school, a warm bath could be the soothing solution to melt your stresses away. And some natural added ingredients could make your experience even more refreshing.

Dian Dincin Buchman, Ph.D., author of The Complete Book of Water Healing suggests these natural remedies:

Apple cider vinegar—add a cup to bathwater to refresh and invigorate tired skin; the vinegar also helps restore the proper acid balance to your skin.
Bran—helps ease itching and soothe skin irritations; soak a cloth pouch filled with wheat or oat bran in hot water and then add it to your tub water.
Pine extract—one capful helps open clogged pores… relieve muscle fatigue… and even speed healing of skin rashes!

These simple solutions for your daily bathwater can help relieve stress and fatigue—and keep you energized all day!
