Discover the ancient Korean bathing rituals and the unique benefits of bamboo salt. Korean baths, known for their therapeutic and detoxifying properties, have been practiced for centuries. The half-bath technique, or "ban-shin-yok," focuses on immersing the lower body to stimulate circulation, detoxify the body, and promote overall wellness. Bamboo salt, made by roasting sea salt in bamboo, enhances these benefits with its rich minerals and detoxifying properties.

Benefits: Boosts blood circulation, eases muscle and joint aches, decongests sinuses, and induces sleep.
Technique: Immerse your entire body in the warm bath, allowing the heat to relax your muscles. The warm water helps increase blood flow, reducing muscle stiffness and relieving aches. Spend at least 20 minutes soaking, letting the warmth penetrate deep into your muscles. The steam from the bath will also help clear your sinuses, promoting easier breathing. This full immersion helps induce a state of relaxation, preparing your body for a restful sleep.
- Detoxification:
Half Bath: Fill the tub halfway.
Benefits: Enhances circulation, aids digestion and detoxification, increases core temperature.
Korean Half Bath Technique: Soak lower body up to the belly button for 45 minutes. Keep the upper body dry. Read a book to relax.
Detailed Steps:
Preparation: Before getting in, ensure the water temperature is comfortably hot but not scalding. The heat helps raise your core body temperature, promoting sweating and detoxification.
Soak: Immerse your lower body in the bath, keeping the water level up to your belly button. The temperature difference between your submerged lower body and dry upper body stimulates blood circulation, helping transport oxygen and nutrients to your skin and cells.
Relax: Hold a book or another relaxation aid to pass the time. As you soak, your upper body will begin to warm up and sweat, aiding in the detoxification process by removing impurities through your skin.
Duration: Stay in the bath for at least 45 minutes to maximize the detoxifying effects. Avoid letting your hands or upper body sink into the water to maintain the contrasting temperature effect.
Effects: The increase in blood circulation helps release muscular tension, calms the nervous system, and gives your skin a healthy glow. The process also aids digestion and detoxification, promoting overall well-being.
