We all enjoy a good soak in the tub from time to time and adding bath salts can make it even more enjoyable. But should we be taking baths more often? Well, tub-lovers, we have good news for you! There are several benefits of taking a hot soak and even more if you add in bath salts!

Humans have been taking baths for centuries and many cultures believe them to have medicinal value. From Japanese onsen (traditional bathing in hot springs), to Roman bath houses and even baptisms, bath-time can be very important to your health.  So why not treat yourself?

From the kitchen of Eileen Brys...
This delicious, simple-to-make chicken recipe is a favorite in the Brys household! Savor tender chicken covered in a fresh herb sauce with a light touch of citrus. We suggest enjoying it alongside your choice of sautéed veggies, and a glass of your favorite white wine. This might just be your new go-to chicken recipe to share throughout the spring and summer!
