What’s the benefit of using bath oil?

Bath oils have been used for millennia, and are still equally as popular today.

Today, the use of bath oils has been refined to a science and it is well known that when oil is mixed with water, it has an ability to penetrate deep into skin tissue and provide rejuvenation. According to TalkSpas, oil bathing is commonplace in South Asia, especially India, but it is also commonly practised in the Western world, too.

Spas all over North America, Canada and Europe offer various oil treatments, and individuals who practice home spa rituals also make use of bath oils. Aside from rejuvenating skin tissue, many claims have been made about the benefits of bath oils. Prevention against cancer is one claim, though there has been no substantial research to support it.

However, oils baths are believed to build stronger immunity to viral and bacterial infections and skin conditions. Due to there intrinsic warmth, they also improve blood circulation by dilating blood vessels; benefits include a reduction in fatigue and stiffness in joints and increased range of motion in joints. Another obvious direct benefit of taking an oil bath is the resulting health and glow of the skin. Oil keeps the collagen in the skin supple and the result is a younger and fresher look for a longer period of time.
