What’s in a beer bath?
A beer bath is usually a warm bath infused with beneficial beer ingredients, hops and barley. The bath blend usually has herbs that also offer wellness effects too.
Hops are flowers from a Humulus lupulus plant that add flavor and aroma to beer. Malted barley is the grain used to make beer.
These ingredients have nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins that are good for your mind and body. They also have topical effects, which is why many people enjoy taking beer baths.
What are the benefits of bathing in beer?
There are many beer bath benefits, including stress, anxiety, and pain relief. Beer baths are also good for your skin and offer cleansing and anti-aging effects to promote natural glow.
Relaxation
Many people enjoy the sense of tranquility that comes with soaking in warm water. A recent study also shows that baths can improve your quality of life by lowering stress levels and increasing happiness.
Hops in beers are also a natural sedative that encourages relaxation and improves sleep. After a beer bath, you can expect to feel calm and ready for a good night's rest.
Clean, Radiant Skin
Warm baths offer deep cleansing effects, and beer ingredients also have cleaning properties, which result in clean, radiant, and glowing skin.
As you take a warm beer bath, you
- Sweat and detoxify
- Remove dead skin cells
- Eliminate bacteria and dirt
Anti-aging
Beer’s malted barley is known to smooth collagen and elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles for skin that looks and feels great. Bathing in beer ingredients and warm water also nourishes and hydrates the skin, which is necessary for fighting premature aging.
Pain & Stiffness Relief
A beer bath is an effective solution if you experience muscle or joint pain or stiffness. Warm water and beer’s nutrients reduce inflammation and increase blood flow to help you feel and move better. It also helps release pressure pushing down on your joints.
This is why experts also recommend warm baths for athletes and people with arthritis.
Better Circulation
When you’re taking a bath, your blood vessels expand, improving your circulation. When blood and oxygen flow easily, your organs can function appropriately for optimal health, improving your day-to-day life and illness recovery or prevention.
Hormone Balance
Warm baths alone can help balance your hormones, and bathing in beer’s beneficial ingredients offers additional benefits. Beer baths can help you decrease stress hormones and release more happiness and wellness chemicals.
Balanced hormones help just about all parts of your health, including sleep, weight, fertility, and mood.
