The practice of bathing has a lengthy cultural history that dates back years and years before. Some well-known instances of baths taken long before the modern bathtub was constructed are the Japanese tradition of taking a bath, widely known as onsen, and Roman bathhouses. The first bathtub was created by an American named John Michael Kohler in 1883. He took a horse trough made of cast iron, gave it four ornate feet, and then gave it an enamel finish.
Fast forward to today’s modern world, where the invention of bathtubs has been revolutionised by using sturdy and robust materials. Bathrooms are also organised with various bathroom supplies that will accommodate every person’s needs. Bathtubs can come in various shapes and sizes, which can suit almost any household’s requirements. With that said, here are the 10 best bathtubs in Malaysia.
What are Some of The Benefits to Taking a Bath?
Having a bath can bring many beneficial values to us as individuals. Here are the top reasons why you should take baths more often!
- Elevate Mood
Because bathing fosters sensations of ease and comfort, which in turn helps your mind and body relax, taking a bath can lessen depressive and pessimistic feelings.
- Increase Sleep Quality
Our body temperatures normally fall at night, which triggers the release of melatonin, also referred to as the sleeping hormone. Your body temperature will rise while in a warm bath, and it will quickly return to normal once you get out, encouraging the generation of melatonin which in turn will better prepare you for sleep.
- Relieve Muscle Pain
The heat from a hot bath will make your blood flow, which is beneficial for circulation and can also aid in the relaxation of tense or aching muscles. It has been demonstrated that Epsom salts added to a warm bath can help lessen joint inflammation brought on by conditions like arthritis or other muscular illnesses.
