Hydrotherapy, “the water cure”, is a radically simple way to transform the mind, body, and soul that’s also sublimely pleasurable. We're made up of mostly water after all.
Using hot and cold water to challenge the body’s natural sense of homeostasis tones and resets the nervous system, triggering powerful cascading waterfalls of beneficial healing molecules, flushing your system with beneficial hormones and endorphins that reverse the effects of chronic stress and amplify your ability to create
new neural pathways.
Daily mindful bathing not only resets your nervous system but can eventually rewire you completely so you no longer react to the old stressors. We call this freedom.
HEALTH THROUGH BATHING IS UNIVERSAL
Now, every bathroom can be a temple of the fountain of youthfulness. A radical miracle revealed simply by understanding the power of plants, planets, the water cure and mindful magic. This is the vision of Born Bathing.
Ancient Egyptians saw water as a medically divine element. The Old Testament used the “healing powers of water” for medical miracles, praising it as a symbol of life. Greco Roman pagan bathing is legendary; they built cities around bathhouses.
Native Americans use sweat lodges to expel illness and invoke and commune with the spirit world. Japanese Onsen are some of the most sublime temples to the sybaritic pleasure of bathing. Scandinavians use saunas, the Russians immerse themselves in a Banya, a wood heated steam bath.
Throughout the world we return to natural hot springs, lakes, oceans and rivers to reconnect to the source of all life. Celebrate your local, unique bathing traditions
