Relax and unwind with Kneipp

When you have a monumental cold like I have right now, the one where you literally ache from head to foot, can't stop sneezing, go through more tissues in a week than you have done all year and have a cough that makes people not want to sit next to you on public transport and generally just feel rotten to the core, then for me having a hot bath is an absolute must.

Kneipp are fast becoming one of my favourite brands when it comes to bath products. Kneipp was founded back in 1891 by Priest, Sebastian Kneipp. Sebastian, cured himself from tuberculosis using the very nature around him and devoted the rest of his life to studying the healing power of water, plants and herbs. The Kneipp range is quite 
extensive and consists of plant based Herbal Baths with only the purest natural herbs, soothing and effective Herbal Body Washes, exfoliating and toning Thermal Spring Bath Salts, which are sourced from an ancient underground salt water sea, the best-known medical plant, Arnica Body Care and the natural skincare range New Energy. All of the bath and body products are made in Germany with caring and holistic methods, and contain no paraffin, silicone or mineral oils.

Kneipp Eucalyptus Sparkling Bath Tablet is just brilliant and describes itself as being an energising formula which will pep you up and revive you after a long day. It contains Eucalyptus to relieve sinuses making it an ideal bath accompaniment to have during cold and flu season. As it contains Eucalyptus Oil, it really packs a punch and as soon as you put it into the bath, it dissolves, similar to a bath bomb, and as soon as the oils are released and comes into contact with the steam from the hot water, it becomes instantly soothing and relaxing and magically your sinuses are unblocked and you can breathe. It also leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and moisturised too.

Kneipp Joint and Muscle Anica Bath Tablet has been designed to soothe aching joints and muscles making it perfect for those people who exercise rather regularly. I have used it whilst having this heavy cold, the constant back ache making it uncomfortable to sleep means anything I can use to soothe my aches and pains is a bonus. Again placing it the bath after a few inches of water, the yellow coloured tablet turns your bath water a lovely shade of Berocca and given the second ingredient is Pine Oil which also has known properties for soothing aching muscles and joints, it smells quite earthy but it does the job and does bring some comfort.

Kniepp Pure Bliss Mineral Bath Salt: Red Poppy & Hemp. I make no secret of the fact I love bath salts, they might sound old fashioned and it might be something you only ever hear your Nan mention, but trust me, they are amazing! 

These Red Poppy and Hemp salts are made with pure and natural thermal spring salt and the oils of Red Poppy and Hemp. Once in the water, your bath turns into a blissful bath treatment which helps to relax the body and and provide an overwhelming sense of peace and serenity helping you to forget the stresses of everyday life. Hemp oil moisturizses the skin and leaves it silky smooth to the touch.
