Feeling better already?
There's a reason for that.
BITE-Jude Henderson, Ed.D.
"As you're soaking in the tub, you can use a lot of imagery to really
relax yourself. Blood pressure lowers. Pulse rate lowers."
There's more to this luxury than lower stress. Baths actually lift your
spirits by raising those natural "feel good" chemicals, endorphins.

"There's just that sense of ease. That sense of relaxation that going
back literally to the womb. And I think people get a lot of comfort from
that "
Yep, a bath can get down right primal.

"Bring your toys in. Have your little rubber ducky. Truly it takes you
back to when you were a kid."

her counseling patients.
