Adding flowers, herbs or fruit to a bath has more health implications than meets the eye. The aesthetically pleasing setups are not just for great social media posts, but truly benefit the body and mind significantly. Scientists have used MRI scans to determine how pleasurable experiences impact neurophysiology, finding that when the brain was stimulated by things such as beauty, joy, happiness, laughter and love, the orbitofrontal cotrex (or reward center) responded. Thus, serotonin is activated leading to a sense of well-being. The brain is literally telling us we feel good and look good, while our body enjoys the results of a floral bath, facial, blow out, or any other type of beauty treatment. What’s more, the sensory affect of florals, from scents to silky pedals boosts the mood, sense of well-being and sense of calm. The bottom line, treating yourself to a luxurious bath or any other beauty treatment goes way beyond looks.
