Bathing, if done correctly, can be a form of therapy – physical, emotional and even spiritual. Listed below are some ways you can take your bath experience to the next level.  “I think best in a hot bath, with my head tilted back and my feet up high.” -   Elizabeth Jane Howard,  Mr. Wrong Adding to the bath - See more at: http://wellwithinyou.com/articles/the-benefits-of-baths.html/?source=mail&emd5=e8e783dbf54cf71f50ab811a482aac92&token=0000006498945c4#sthash.SqiB2OAS.dpuf Epsom salts: It has been widely reported that most people nowadays are magnesium deficient.  Magnesium is a mineral that is required for a body to fu...
