Focus on a beautiful shower and bath


Bathing and showering are increasingly recognized as one method of alleviating symptoms of depression. A study undertaken at the University of Freiburg in Germany and published in 2018 found that taking a warm bath at least twice a week improves one’s mood in ways similar to physical exercise.

The theory is that by increasing the body’s temperature, warm baths help people synch their circadian rhythms and boost levels of serotonin (often referred to as a “happiness hormone”), which can improve mood and alleviate depression.

The benefits of hydrotherapies
