With everything that is going on in the world today we just need to find a sure way to relax our bodies and our minds.
I don’t know that I can help you with the relaxation of your mind, but I can give some pointers on relaxing the body. The Mayo Clinic gives a helpful list of relaxation techniques that I will list for you here:
Practicing relaxation techniques can reduce stress symptoms by:
- Slowing your heart rate
- Lowering blood pressure
- Slowing your breathing rate
- Reducing activity of stress hormones
- Increasing blood flow to major muscles
- Reducing muscle tension and chronic pain
- Improving concentration and mood
- Lowering fatigue
- Reducing anger and frustration
- Boosting confidence to handle problems
Those are all very good and by utilizing them, there is no doubt you will begin to feel better eventually. But I would like to offer a suggestion that offers immediate relaxation and revitalization to the body and you can enjoy it at home, whenever you want to.
A soak in a deep water cast iron slipper tub will help you to achieve many of the suggested points. Setting aside time to stretch out in very warm water is like experiencing hydrotherapy. Fatigue will be eliminated, frustration and anger can just seep away, breathing rate is reduced as you relax in the warm water. There are so many benefits to a deep water tub.

The clawfoot tub has been the stage for many sensuous and funny scenes in theater and in movies; Splash, and The Bridges of Madison County are two such movies.
