Fun Holidays - International Bath Day

Water procedures are not only a guarantee of cleanliness and health, but also pleasure. Taking a bath with aromatic oils and candles accompanied by soft music relaxes the body, gives peace of mind and tranquility. However, history knows of cases where bathing contributed to the activation of mental activity and helped to make a scientific discovery. Legend has it that Archimedes, who was taking a bath, jumped out of it shouting “Eureka!” because he discovered the law of hydrostatics. Pediatricians and neurologists recommend that parents regularly bathe newborns and older children. The aquatic environment reminds the baby of his 9-month stay in his mother’s belly, calms him down and helps him get used to new realities after birth. In the bathtub, children not only enjoy splashing around in fragrant foam, but also make discoveries, learning the physical laws of the world in a playful way. Warm water helps relieve tension and stress, improve blood circulation, and cleanse the skin of the face and body of toxins that are eliminated through sweat. A hot bath is indicated for athletes - it reduces muscle pain by reducing the lactic acid contained in them. A contrast shower invigorates, strengthens the body and strengthens the immune system. This and other positive effects are known to everyone for whom the bathroom is not just a room for hygiene procedures, but something more - a place of relaxation and inspiration.

Chukovsky are familiar to everyone from childhood: For fans of water treatments who cannot imagine their life without a shower and sauna with a tub for dousing, an unusual holiday has been invented.
