Cleansing baths
Cleansing baths are baths with natural additives such as hay, sulphur, oak bark, herbs or tea. At the Kyborg Institute we describe them as wellness and skin care – beneficial and relaxing, expressly without any promise of healing.
Beneficial baths – as care, not as therapy
Many people experience such baths as pleasant: they can relax, care for the skin and give a feeling of purity. About medical effects we make no statement.
- Hay bath, herbal or fir infusion: as a relaxing wellness bath.
- Sulphur bath: as a caring, stimulating bath (strong smell).
- Oak-bark or black-tea bath: traditionally for skin care.
- Milk bath: for a soft feeling of the skin.
What to attend to
- Whoever tends to allergies should test carefully and, in case of doubt, ask a doctor.
- In the case of cardiovascular problems, hot baths only with caution.
- In the case of illnesses or wounds, have it clarified by a doctor – a bath replaces no treatment.
- Attend to products without unnecessary chemical additives.
