There are so many good reasons to take a luxurious soak in the tub. The steamy embrace of warm water, spiked with soothing bath salts, unwinds coiled muscles. Bath salts mixed with essential oils—pack a triple punch: The salt exfoliates the skin, aromatherapy oils soothe the spirit, and a mineral-rich soak relaxes tired muscles after an active day. A gentle immersion in that silent sanctuary not only relaxes the body, it quiets the mind
