In our fast-paced world, finding ways to reconnect with the natural world, promoting wellness and environmental sustainability is essential. Outdoor bathing offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, providing benefits that extend beyond the simple pleasure of a delightful soak.
So why are Outdoor Baths Better Than Hot Tubs?
Eco-Friendly Benefits:
Energy Efficiency
Outdoor baths use less energy compared to hot tubs, which require continuous heating to maintain water temperature. This reduced energy consumption, helps not only your pocket, but reduces your carbon footprint.
Natural Heating
Outdoor baths can use solar energy or ambient heat to warm the water. Both minimise the need for electrical heating, reducing environmental impact. Alternatively, hot water can be fed directly from a dwelling, further enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability.
Water Conservation
Hot tubs require regular water changes and maintenance, leading to higher water usage. This is especially the case for hotels, holiday homes, or glamping sites where hygiene practices are essential for guests. Outdoor baths, on the other hand, can be filled as needed, supporting water conservation.
Minimal Chemicals
Unlike hot tubs, that require chemicals to maintain water hygiene, outdoor baths can use natural filtration systems, eco-friendly cleaning products and toiletries. All ensure there is no harmful runoff into the environment or causing harm to your health.
Health and Well-Being:
Connection with Nature
Bathing outdoors allows you to experience the sights, sounds, smell and freshness of nature, supporting relaxation and mental well-being. Connecting with nature can lower stress levels and can make you feel renewed and provide a new lease of life.
Mindfulness and Relief
The tranquility of an outdoor setting encourages mindfulness and promote a sense of calm. Just imagine blissful peace, listening to bird song without the noise and drone of pumps and jets! The meditative quality of a bath, allows you to fully immerse yourself in the natural environment allowing an undisturbed experience.
Cold Plunge Benefits
Of course, you don’t always need to run a hot bath. Taking a cold plunge in the outdoors invigorates the body, improves circulation, and boosts the immune system. It’s an all-year-round wellness practice that traditional hot tubs are unable to offer.
Year-Round Enjoyment:
Versatility
Whether it’s a warm soak in the winter or a refreshing cold plunge in the summer, outdoor baths provide a versatile and customised experience. Both allowing you to control the temperature as well as the ambiance, adapting to the seasons and the benefits you are after. The choice is really yours!
Natural Scenic Beauty
Each season brings a unique beauty to your outdoor bath experience, from blooming flowers in spring to the natural beauty of snowfall in winter. This constant change keeps the experience fresh as well as exciting.
Outdoor bathing is more than just a relaxing activity; it’s a sustainable and uplifting experience that benefits both you and the environment. By choosing an outdoor bath over a traditional hot tub, you’ll contribute to energy efficiency, water conservation, and a deeper connection with nature.
