From bubble bath to a warming self-massage oil, here are six ginger-infused bath essentials to add to your self-care repertoire immediately.
Ginger has been used in Asian cultures for thousands of years for culinary and medicinal purposes due to its anti-inflammatory, circulation-boosting, and digestion-aiding effects year-round. But, the fibrous root becomes that much more crucial during the colder months, thanks not just to its naturally warming properties, but it’s also in accordance with the traditional Chinese concept of chi, which is the energy force inherent in all living things.
“The heat of a warm bath and the ‘yang’ energy of ginger is much needed for the ‘yin’ season of winter,” explains Lam. “Eating ginger, drinking ginger tea, and taking a ginger bath all help warm the meridians, opening the blockages to promote the flow of blood and the chi throughout the body. Bathing during the cooler months is essential as it helps bring the body back into balance, improves circulation, and fortifies the immune system.
It doesn’t hurt that the relaxing pre-bedtime ritual has the handy secondary effect of encouraging better sleep. Not to mention, it yields glowing skin worthy of even the most fearless party dress. Here, six ginger-infused bath essentials to snap up as the temperatures drop.
