A home remedy is considered to be the best remedy. Every grandmother out there often waxes eloquent about the magical properties of traditional herbs and spices. And, as always, they’re right!

Home remedies that make use of spices and herbs are one hundred percent safe and natural, with no side effects. Besides, home remedies also make use of simple ingredients that are available in every kitchen pantry.

But did you know that certain everyday household ingredients, when added to your bath, can give your body loads of health benefits? If you didn’t, don’t worry about it. Sit back and relax as we fill you in on the 5 household ingredients that you need to start adding to your bath, for some great results.

1. Honey

Honey has been known to have some amazing healing powers. When added to your bath, it will help moisturise and soften the skin. If you want baby soft skin, honey’s the way to go. Just add a cup to your bath and soak it all in.

2. Cinnamon

I absolutely love all things cinnamon. This aromatic spice, when added to your bath, can help remove toxins from your body. It also cures rashes of any kind and aids in cleansing the body. So don’t just use cinnamon in apple pies and other kinds of desserts. Add about 3-4 sticks of cinnamon to your bath for some invigorating results.

3. Ginger

Down with the flu? Coughing a lot? Fret not. Just crush a pod of ginger into your bath water and hop right in. The natural properties of this ingredient will help you sweat out the fever. Plus, ginger has warming properties. So if it’s raining outside, adding some ginger to your bath will help warm you up.

4. Lemons

Lemons make for the most refreshing bath that you will EVER take. They help revive and nourish tired skin, leaving you rejuvenated. But that’s not all. Lemon also cools the skin and helps open up pores.

5. Salt

Salt is an essential ingredient in every kind of meal. Well, we think it’s an essential bath ingredient as well. Why? Salt helps relieve aches and pains. So if you have an aching back or a case of sore muscles, sprinkle some salt into your bath and let it work its magic.
