What is ofuro
In Japan, bathing is not just about hygiene; it's a ritual of self-care. The ofuro is the evening hot bath in which one immerses themselves to relax body and mind, after having washed separately.
Why it's good for you

How to recreate ofuro at home
1. Prepare the environment
Dim the lights, light a candle and incense.
2. Warm but not boiling water
Fill the tub with water at 38-40°C.
3. Bring what you love with you
A cup of tea, a book, slow music. A bamboo bathtub tray keeps everything within reach.
4. Exfoliate and immerse yourself
Use an exfoliating sponge before getting in, then stay for 15-20 minutes and breathe.
