Bathing Rituals

 The rich history of ancient bathing rituals gives us an insight into the therapeutic  benefits of bathing to help soothe the mind and body. The holistic benefits of immersing  ourselves into water is something our ancestors understood well. 

 Ancient Ayurvedic texts speak of royal baths with rose petals, milk, honey and turmeric.  The rich heritage of floral bathing can be traced back to ancient Egypt where oils, flowers and aromatic herbs turned bathwater into a sensual luxury. Legend has it that Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, bathed daily in milk laced with honey and rose oil.
