Are you tired? Feeling overworked and stressed out? The Japanese have come up with the perfect solution to your problem. Kick back, relax and take a long, soothing bath in a Japanese bath.
Aside from taking up very little floor space, Japanese or Ofuro baths are also associated with many health benefits. Listed below are the top three reasons why more people are considering a Japanese bath:
1. It doesn’t require much space.
The Japanese bathtub is a type of tub that’s smaller and deeper than most types of bathtubs. Because of its size, it’s perfect for sitting in as opposed to lying down. Because of its deep bowl-like shape, you can still easily submerge yourself in the water. This space-saving bath is perfect for homeowners who have very little room to spare.
2. It helps improve your health
Hydrotherapy, which means the use of water for the treatment of certain ailments and diseases, is the most touted benefit of soaking in a hot bath. Ancient civilizations from all over the world have acknowledged the therapeutic power of soaking in natural hot springs or man-made hydro pools. From Rome to Japan, hydrotherapy was used to treat arthritis, muscle and joint pain, and even insomnia. Hot water increases blood flow, which can help alleviate pain associated with arthritis and other muscle-related conditions. The combination of steam and hot water will also cause you to sweat out whatever toxins you have in your body.
3. It’s a convenient way to relax
With a Japanese bath, you can relax, refresh, and rejuvenate without stepping out of your house. If you opt for a bigger bath, you and your family can enjoy soaking in the tub together. In fact, soaking in a bath is a family tradition in Japan. Unwinding in hot baths concludes the day for lots of families, a custom that is spreading across the globe as homeowners ask their architects for spa features such as soaking tubs and waterproof floors.
