People usually take a bath in hot water to relax them self and allow the water to wash away all the stress and muscle ache that they have accumulated throughout the day. According to Marshfield Clinic the use of “Heat, on the other hand, increases circulation and raises skin temperature. For these reasons, it should not be applied to acute injuries, or injuries that show signs of inflammation. Heat is great for sore muscles and joint pain, which are typical of chronic injuries”The pain that people feel in their body is cause when the muscle release a chemical in the body called lactic acid which can cause discomfort and soreness in the muscle, usually the pain or soreness will come from exercising for a long period of time, moving and lifting heavy object and having your body in a uncomfortable position. Taking either a hot or warm bath will relieve you of the pain and discomfort in your body because the heat from the bath will help loosen your muscle and allow them to unwind and have blood flowing through your body with ease giving you the as if you had become lighter. When most men are ask about bath's they only see it as a waste of time and money and instead prefer a shower, but some consider them to be a luxury and that it is time and money well spent.

Veyne states in the article that the baths were held usually in houses of wealthy citizens but were open for the public for a small fee. He says how the baths were used as a meeting place where people can enjoy the company of others and tell interesting stories. “The baths were not for cleanliness. They offered an array of pleasures, rather like our beaches” (Veyne 116). Veyne’s opinion on the baths was that they were used more for entertainment then for sanitary reasons.
They need warming and soothing heat massage to raise body temperature and create relaxation in muscles that may be tense due to the cold. However, if a client has a hot body, muscular and sporty with a tendency to sprains – then cold marble massage is going to suit them far better. You may want to start with hot stones to open up the muscles, but the majority could be using cold stones.
Haven’t you ever come home from a long day and just wanted to relax into a nice warm bath? I sure have. Within the last couple decades, there has been an increased study in the science of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy, as defined by NAHA (Source 6), is “the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit”. And one of the main products that this movement has taken shape through is Bath Bombs. A Bath Bomb, as defined by the Collins dictionary, is a ball of carbonates and scent that is placed in bath water to dissolve and impart supposedly therapeutic properties to the water. It has been proven by many studies the affects that bath bombs and other forms of aromatherapy have had on peoples’ mental and physical health. In the late 1930s, a

When giving the client a bath he can manage to wash himself, while running the bath I get out all the toiletries he uses and put them in a suitable place for him to reach them while he’s in the bath.
The Wife of Bath's greedy need for complete control over men reflects in most of her actions. She seems proud of this, and constantly describes women as cruel creatures that bring great sorrow to men. When talking about her first three husbands, she says that she "governed them" (193), and "chided them cruelly" (193). She makes life for her husbands a living hell, having no respect for their feelings. Just like the women questioned in her story, she cares only for "riches...amusement...rich apparel...," to be "flattered and pampered," and for "pleasure in bed" (225). When talking of her first three marriages, she says: "Since they had given me all their land, why should I take pains to please them, unless it be for my own profit and pleasure" (192). In her story, the moral is that all women want to hold the whip in a relationship, and it is in the man's best interest to let them do so. The Wife of Bath is not a woman to be admired and, worst of all, she insists all
One of the major tasks I have done while in my community placement is assisting and providing showers and sponge baths. This task can be a traumatizing experience for some residents, especially for those who may not like taking showers, making sure we are sensitive to their needs and providing privacy is important. As I’m assisting with showers, I ask about their preferences, if they prefer shower gel or soap, the types of creams and their clothing choices, by promoting various choices, it reminds them, they still have control over their life's. When showering many people may walk by, providing privacy by shutting the door or curtain is important to help keep themselves blocked from the public eye and this shows we have respect and dignify for their bodies and themselves as an
The bath was important to the Japanese culture and every night a Japanese family would take turns soaking in their bath in order of seniority to relax after the stresses of the busy day (Wynn, 61). This relaxing in the warm bath after a long day helps to cleanse them both mentally by refreshing their mind and cleansing their soul, and physically by soaking in the soap that they placed in the water. Anthropologist, Scott Clark, believed that bathing in Japan and being able to comprehend the reason you are taking the bath is participating in something that is unique to the Japanese culture (Wynn, 62). This is because cleansing the body in Japanese society means much more than just removing the dirt from the outside of their body but it also symbolizes a deeper cleaning that reaches to the soul. This is the part that makes cleanliness so important to the Japanese. Japan is unique from other cultures because of its relationship among people being built on the act of immersing themselves in water (Wynn, 61). Public baths were popular in early Japan but as the focus on cleanliness became more important to their society, private baths became more popular. Families began to have a bath
“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury,” Coco Chanel (n.d.) once said. Nothing describes this quote quite like the soothing hot tub. The steaming water, the bubbling frame, or perhaps just the sheer cost in installation give the hot tub such a luxurious connotation. In the movies, bliss is often pictured as some bare-chested man, wearing gold chains galore, arms around two bikinied blondes, that is lounging in a massive hot tub. Even on a less grand scale, it is always quite a mark of rank for a middle-class household to have possession of such a comfort as a Jacuzzi. When mentioned, one can just feel a warm massage from little jets spurting out water all around your body. The bubbling water warms one's body and soul with
The warm water reminds us of the warmth we felt in our mother's womb and this feeling gives everyone a sense of protection, tenderness and comfort.Also according to the psychoanalytical theory, people who are always bathing themselves are trying to clean something which is difficult to be cleaned. Something psychological rather than physical.

In the Wife of Bath’s prologue and tale, it is explicitly stated that the interaction between men and women is purely physical, and that all women want total control in their relationships because women always want what they don’t have. The Wife of Bath is a living example of the ideals put forth in her tale. She is a businesswoman who has enough money to live comfortably, and, at the time of her telling her tale, she is widowed. When peering into her past, we see that she was a child bride who is forced to rely on her wits and her body
