Bathing in wine – an unusual elixir of youth

July 8 2023

Bathing in wine was practiced by the people of Arab countries as well as the Greeks and Romans as far back as antiquity. The miraculous properties of wine, which is an elixir of youth and beauty, were used for vinotherapy, initiated in France. Nowadays you can also take a wine bath at the climatic Beer Spa in Zakopane.

Properties of bathing in wine

Wine contains a lot of polyphenols, and they are responsible for the body’s cleansing and regeneration processes, and therefore also counteract cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Initially, French wine therapy was treated as a mainly therapeutic procedure. Over time, the idea of wine therapies spread throughout Europe, and today spa salons offer wine baths as a wellness treatment for beauty. Wine baths have anti-aging, detoxifying and mineralizing properties, and also promote weight loss. Therefore, the wine elixir of youth restores the skin’s elasticity and perfectly moisturizes it. In conclusion, in addition to its healing and beauty-enhancing properties, a wine bath relaxes and greatly improves your mood.

Homemade wine bath

The recipe for a homemade wine bath is not complicated, as all you need to do is add the wine of your choice in advance to the bath. It is recommended to pour about half a liter of red wine into the bath. The optimal temperature of a homemade wine bath should be about 35 degrees Celsius. You can allocate half an hour for such a pleasure, this is the right time for the skin to assimilate well the nutrients from the wine. It’s also a good idea to create a unique atmosphere during the homemade treatment, so use scented candles for this and add, for example, rose petals to the bath. Additional relaxation during a home bath can be provided by tasting a glass of delicious liquor combined with relaxing music or an episode of your favorite TV series.
