In today’s fast-paced world, stress, pollution, and toxins silently accumulate in our bodies, often leaving us feeling fatigued, dull, or tense. While there are many artificial bath salts and detox products in the market, few offer a natural, chemical-free, and Ayurvedic solution to deeply cleanse, relax, and heal the body.

This is where Aritha (Reetha) bath soaks come into play.

Used in traditional Ayurvedic practices for centuries, Aritha is not only a natural cleanser but also a powerful detoxifying and soothing herb. At Dirghaanshi, we believe in reconnecting with our roots — and what better way than through a warm, healing soak made from this sacred herb?

In this article, we explore how Aritha Bath Soak can become your go-to wellness ritual to unwind your body, purify your skin, and rejuvenate your senses — naturally. 🌿🛁

🔍 What is Aritha (Reetha)?
Aritha, or Soapnut, is the dried fruit of the Sapindus mukorossi tree, commonly found in India and Nepal. It contains natural saponins — soapy substances that have excellent cleansing properties without stripping the skin of its natural oils.

In Ayurveda, Aritha is classified under:

“Shodhana Dravya” (cleansing agents)

“Twachya” (skin-enhancing herbs)

“Kandughna” (anti-itch and soothing herbs)

It is widely used for:

Hair and scalp cleansing

Removing toxins and sweat buildup

Managing skin conditions

Enhancing skin glow and tone

🛁 What is an Aritha Bath Soak?
An Aritha Bath Soak is a natural spa-like experience where you:

Add Aritha-infused water (or powder) into your bath tub or warm bucket.

Soak your body, feet, or hands for 15–30 minutes.

Let the detoxifying, anti-inflammatory and relaxing benefits rejuvenate your system.

Unlike chemical bath salts, this soak is entirely herbal and eco-friendly.
