Looking for ways to create a self-care spa at home? With just a few small upgrades to your bathroom, such as indoor plants and aromatherapy, you can find your oasis without leaving your home.<\/p>\n
Here are some tips for planning a DIY home spa day for an immersive hydrotherapy experience.<\/p>\n
What Is Hydrotherapy?<\/span><\/h2>\nHydrotherapy<\/span><\/a> involves using water in various forms and temperatures to provide therapeutic treatment to the body. Hydrotherapy can range from aquatic exercise to a steam spa or sauna. Ancient civilizations used hydrotherapy for its health benefits, and the practice continues today. Now, people use hydrotherapy in their day-to-day lives, including evening baths, warm showers, or even a <\/span>combination of both<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"adjustable](\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img-post-hydrotherapy-jets.jpg\")
<\/a>\nSpas are one of the best places to engage in <\/span>hydrotherapy<\/span><\/a> because spas provide a soothing, immersive experience. When you step into a spa, your mind has the space to breathe and focus on your self-care. Here are a few ways to prep your bathroom to get the same benefits as going to a spa.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n\n\t\n \n Pre-Hydrotherapy Rituals<\/span><\/h2>\nAdd Some Plants to the Bathroom<\/span><\/h3>\nResearch<\/span><\/a> shows that interacting with indoor plants can have a positive impact on your mental health. We recommend <\/span>adding a few plants to your bathroom<\/span><\/a> for a home spa remedy that\u2019s as scenic as it is rejuvenating. Some plants, such as aloe, offer health benefits that make them the perfect addition to a spa day. <\/span><\/p>\nHeat the Bath to the Perfect Temperature<\/span><\/h3>\nSpa days are all about focusing on your comfort. When you fill your bathtub with water, you want to ensure that the water is at a comfortable temperature for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Hands](\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kwib-turning-water-on.jpg\")
<\/a>\nThe <\/span>ideal bath temperature<\/span><\/a> is between 90 and 105 degrees Fahrenheit (or 32 to 40 degrees Celsius). To test the water temperature, place your hand in the water. If you can keep your hand in the water comfortably, then it\u2019s the ideal temperature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWarm baths offer multiple health benefits that can help you regain your sense of peace, such as improving sleep and potentially reducing blood pressure. So, let the water run until the tub is almost full and feel the tension wash away.<\/span><\/p>\nUse Aromatherapy Diffusers<\/span><\/h3>\nAromatherapy<\/span><\/a> involves using essential oils to help you feel more relaxed. Aromatherapy diffusers spread the essential oils\u2019 scents around a room using water and airwaves. To create a comfortable home spa in your bathroom, add a few essential oils into a diffuser. We recommend oils such as lavender, chamomile, or sandalwood to help you ease your mind.<\/span><\/p>\nListen to A Relaxing Playlist<\/span><\/h3>\nAccording to the <\/span>University of Nevada at Reno<\/span><\/a>, relaxing music can help soothe your muscles and manage stress. That\u2019s why many spas play ambient music to help you take your mind off the day\u2019s stress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTo set the scene for your home spa, create some ambiance with a <\/span>relaxing bathtime playlist<\/span><\/a>. We created a playlist that combines classical, instrumental, and ambient music to help you find a few moments of self-care. You can access the <\/span>playlist for free on YouTube<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n\n\t\n \n Hydrotherapy Rituals<\/span><\/h2>\nCreate a Tub Shower Combo<\/h3>\n![\"Woman](\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/kwib-shower-package-model-6_720x480.jpg\")

Can\u2019t decide between the safety and comfort of a walk-in bath or the convenience of a shower? A tub shower combo<\/a> delivers the best of both worlds. This hybrid option adds flexibility to your bathing routine to accommodate users of varying needs while saving space in your bathroom.<\/p>\nThe KOHLER\u00ae<\/sub> Walk-In Bath can be outfitted with the Shower Package<\/a> to create a tub shower combo. It features the gooseneck shower arm that allows you to take a safe standing shower and the KOHLER Bath Screen that keeps water contained inside the tub.<\/p>\nSoak In Epsom Salt<\/span><\/h3>\nEpsom salt is an essential ingredient in a successful spa day at home. According to <\/span>Medical News Today<\/span><\/a>, Epsom salt offers key health benefits, including reducing stress, treating muscle inflammation, and helping restore dry skin. If you want to use <\/span>Epsom salt<\/span><\/a> in your bath, run your bath water and add two cups of salt while the tub fills. Soak in the bathtub for no longer than twenty minutes. <\/span><\/p>\nUse a Handshower<\/span><\/h3>\nHandshowers<\/span><\/a> are a great way to enjoy hydrotherapy if you have sensitive skin. With a handshower, you can gently run water over sore muscles to help you relax while simultaneously soothing your skin. You can also use a handshower to give your scalp a soothing massage.<\/span><\/p>\nEnjoy a Refreshing Drink <\/span><\/h3>\nWhile you\u2019re relaxing in your spa, rejuvenate with a cool drink to help you enjoy the moment. You can try a few DIY recipes, including <\/span>limeades and spritzers<\/span><\/a>, that your tastebuds will love.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Orange](\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/img-cold-orange-drink.jpg\")
