Do you Bathe?

In many parts of the world, taking a bath is a tradition for wellness – for the body and mind. The ancient Romans created elaborate baths and rituals. Everyone has heard of Turkish baths. The Japanese and Koreans are also known for their customs around bathing.

Bathing is still very beneficial. The most obvious reason to bathe is to clean yourself. However secondly, and most important to me, is to slow down and relax – to feel the hot water penetrate my body, to enjoy the peacefulness and close my eyes, most often with a smile on my face.

You’ll notice that on our Bath products we have an image of a Lotus Flower. Like bathing, the lotus flower has many meanings. The ancient Egyptians believed that it symbolized the sun and rebirth. In Buddhism, it represents the purity of mind, body and speech – rising above the waters of desire and attachment. In Hinduism, the lotus flower symbolizes beauty, prosperity, fertility, eternity, purity and divinity. All these sound good to me.
