There is nothing like getting into a nice warm bath at the end of a stressful day. Natural products such as essential oils, mineral salts, a skin brush and a loofah can turn a bath into an all-natural healing sanctuary.

Action • Create a soothing atmosphere, with scented candles, soft music and place cotton towels near the bath. It's your time, don't let anyone disturb your ritual. • Fill the bathtub, add some vegetable-based carrier oil such as almond, avocado or jojoba oil. Mineral salts and essential oils make an excellent addition. • To sooth the skin and stimulate circulation use skin brushes or loofahs. For best results use salts or natural body scrubs to exfoliate the skin. • Finally, finish the by moisturising your skin with a herb-based oil/lotion.
