Balneotherapy is the term given to the practice of healing using bath preparations. On the old continent it is well known that Balneotherapy was highly favored by the Romans, the Greeks and the Egyptians.
Although today the concept of health care is linked to high tech medicine, our bodies are no different than those of our ancestors several thousand years ago.
Phybiosis invites you now to consider these ancient, safe and efficient methods of fitness and health.
AROMATIC BATH OILS
Essential oils do not dilute in water. It is therefore an heresy to even attempt to pour some drops of essential oils in the bath. It will not dilute, and will eventually come in contact with the skin and depending on the oil used, may cause irritation, from mild to severe. Hence a pretty foolish thing to do !
On the other hand, taking a bath is so efficient, that it would enhance the penetration of the essential oils through the skin. Something worthwhile to do. This is why Phybiosis' Aromatic Baths combine the efficiency of the bath with the activity of the essential oils. Our Aromatic Baths contain up to 53% of pure natural essential oils. This unusually high concentration on the market accounts for up to 5 ml. of essential oil per bath. Considering the quality of the essential oils used, our aromatic baths lead the way by very, very far.
Our essential oils are first diluted in glycerin, then polysorbate is added to ensure a proper dilution in water. The overall result gives us a bath solution where the essential oils are totally diluted, and where you'll feel your entire body covered with a voluptuous coating of the glycerin-essential oils complex. In addition to the benefits given by the essential oils, our baths are extraordinarily moisturizing. You won't imagine how much until you try it!
