Add an appropriate amount of essential oil to water, and achieve the effect of relaxing nerves and beautifying through essential oil. The essential oil chosen for bathing is mainly soothing, and lavender, rose and chamomile are all good choices. Just drop 10- 15 drops into the bathtub every time. Hot water can also help the absorption of essential oil and promote its fragrance to evaporate into the air, thus achieving the effect of aromatherapy.

Precautions:

1, before skin test, adjust the concentration of 3% essential oil, and use it under the armpit or chest. After at least 24 hours, you can use essential oils without allergies.

2. It is generally not recommended for women to use essential oils during menstruation, because more than 85% of essential oils have menstrual function, and there may be an increase in menstrual flow and occasional bloody collapse.

The benefits of bathing:

A new study in Britain found that taking a hot bath can not only reduce the peak blood sugar, but also consume a lot of energy. Professor Steven Faulkner, a sports physiologist at Loughborough University in England, and his research team asked 14 volunteers to wear blood glucose monitors and bathe in water with a constant temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. The results show that people consume a lot of energy in the process of bathing, and the energy consumption can be increased by 80% after bathing for one hour.

Professor Faulkner believes that this effect brought by bathing comes from "heat shock protein". It is a molecule produced by human cells in response to stress. When people exercise or are in a hot environment, protein will also be produced in the body.

Faulkner reminded that there are two prerequisites for consuming energy through bathing: bathing time and water temperature. Experiments show that it is necessary to take a bath continuously 1 hour, and the water temperature is constant at about 40 degrees Celsius, so the energy consumption of the body will increase; If the water temperature is not enough, the effect will be worse accordingly.

Although participants burn an average of 590 joules per hour when taking a hot bath, which is equivalent to the heat consumed by walking for 30 minutes, riding a bicycle obviously burns more calories in the same period of time. Therefore, researchers suggest that taking a hot bath to control blood sugar is only suitable for those who cannot exercise.
