How does a bubble bath sound as a cure for migraines? Pretty good, right? Well, researchers say a bubble bath – using MENTHOL bath gel – may banish your headache. According to professor Paul Goadsby, who specializes in migraines at King’s College London, there’s scientific evidence that menthol is a proven painkiller that’s just as effective as over-the-counter headache remedies.

Menthol comes from the mint plant, and it works by activating a skin receptor that makes us feel cool – and that can relieve pain. It’s the opposite of capsaicin, the compound that makes spicy food taste hot, and triggers our pain receptors – while mint and menthol turn them off. No time for a bath? No problem: Add 3 drops of peppermint essential oil to a tablespoon of water. Soak it up with a cotton ball… And run it across your temples, and along your hairline.

Your head will feel better within 15 minutes.

If you catch a cold, here’s how to get over it faster: Take a hot bath. Researchers at the New York Nasal and Sinus Center found soaking for 20-minutes a day in a hot bath can shorten a cold by four days. That’s because viruses are heat-sensitive – so raising your core temperature helps kill them off faster.

Make some rosemary tea – but don’t drink it. Pour it in a hot bath and soak in it for 20 minutes. Dr. Alan Hirsch, director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, says hot water relaxes muscles that are spasming. And the aromatic oils in rosemary boost production of the neurotransmitter serotonin – which relieves pain.

Sound good? Here’s the recipe: Steep half-a-cup of dried rosemary in boiling water for 10 minutes. Then strain it, add the tea to your bathwater, and climb in.

Which is dirtier: your tub or the toilet?

Studies show that the average tub contains more bacteria than a toilet! And in one study, researchers found staph bacteria, a common cause of serious skin infections, in 26% of bathtubs tested! That was compared to just 6% of garbage cans! Bathtubs also have 10 times the bacteria in a dog’s food bowl! So, at least once a week, spray your tub with disinfecting cleaner, scrub, and rinse.
