Lüttes Welt Bath Water Colours
Although humans are land dwellers, they like to spend their free time in the water. People were already magically attracted to the wet element in the Stone Age. If the prehistoric hunters were successful in the morning, they had the rest of the day off and could go swimming. Researchers assume that most Stone Age people were good swimmers. The ability to cross a body of water safely brought many advantages. It saved them long detours or, in an emergency, allowed them to flee from enemies more quickly. In addition, ancient cave paintings also show humans who apparently went swimming just for fun. The beneficial effects of hot baths have also been known since the Palaeolithic Age. However, our ancestors did not go to the bath for this one but to hot springs.
Footprints in fossilised limestone mud prove that humans visited hot springs as early as almost 10,000 years ago. They even accepted long hikes through the wilderness to relax in warm water. The kings of the ancient Orient were, of course, not willing to undertake such marches. In order to be able to bathe undisturbed, they had pompous baths built in their palaces. Over the centuries, all the great civilisations of antiquity developed their own bathing culture. In Ancient Egypt, for example, swimming instructors were highly respected and well paid. The bathing establishments run by the Greeks were usually integrated into public sports facilities. After training, athletes could get massages and take hot baths there. But it was not until the Romans that bathing became a wellness activity for the masses. Not only in the capital, but also at the outposts on the Germanic border, "caldariums" (warm baths) were the centrepiece of every Roman bathing establishment. These offered a level of relaxation that was not equalled again in Europe until the 20th century.
But why do we feel so comfortable in warm water? One theory is that it reminds us of the security of the womb. In any case, the human habit of relaxing in warm water has already found animal imitators. In the winter of 1960, visitors to a hot spring in Japan were observed by snow monkeys. When the bathers had gone home, the monkeys cautiously ventured into the water. They felt so comfortable in it that they still spend several hours in the water on each winter day. By now, the snow monkeys are even considered a natural landmark of Nagona Prefecture. As with the snow monkeys, the bathing behaviour of parents and children differs. Adults close their eyes in the bath, enjoy the peace and quiet and leave everyday life behind. In contrast, children don't just want to sit still and be quiet in the water.
Lüttes Welt wants to stimulate the imagination of parents and children with exciting bath products. Magic Bath Water paint and Crackling Bath cCrystals provide colourful bathing fun. With the Magic Wand, children can draw coloured traces through the water. The Glitter Fish turns the water wonderfully pink and when the Bathing Volcano erupts, the water in the tub crackles, bubbles and foams. The high-quality natural cosmetic bath additives from Lüttes Welt combine innovation, fun and care with selected ingredients. This makes bathing an unforgettable experience.
