Water
The Holistic Self-Care you need is WATER.
Water is essential for our bodies to live and thrive. Drinking pure water and staying well hydrated is absolutely fundamental to holistic self-care.
Bathing in water is also an essential activity for hygiene and health. Soaking in a warm bath has incredible healing properties, including promoting relaxation, rejuvenation, providing pain relief, and speeding up the healing process in our bodies.
Immersing our bodies in water reduces the effects of gravity on the body by 85% which allows our bodies to focus on resting. You can use the pain-relieving qualities of warm water to support your muscles, joints, and menstrual cycles. Plus, bathing is excellent for cleansing and moisturizing our skin and hair.
In addition to drinking water and bathing in water, just being around water has profound benefits for the health of our bodies and minds. Being near water outside reduces anxiety, lowering stress, increasing happiness, and lowering blood pressure. Find a body of water to visit. Go to a lake, pond, river, or beach and walk, swim, or just sit by the edge.
Drink deep, soak it up, and enjoy how water enhances our wellness in so many incredible ways!
