For many people a soothing bath can solve, or at least ease, a huge amount of worries, ills or complaints. Its invigorating nature is used the world over to calm troubles or as a place to retreat to escape the hassles of everyday life. This tranquil little book is split into two parts, firstly looking at everything you could possibly need to make the perfect bath, ranging from candles and incense; oils and essential oils; and towels, to loofahs and body brushes; music, reading matter, and drinks. Part two concentrates on luxurious home bathing, providing recipes, tips, and treats. Scattered throughout are snippets of history, lore, and culture gathered from bathing traditions the world over, plus evocative quotes and wonderful images to accentuate the wonderfully restorative quality of the bath.
