The Surprising Benefits of 'Nothing Showers' for Anxiety Relief

TikTok users are sharing a new trend called "nothing showers" as a form of mental health self-care. Unlike "everything showers" that focus on physical beauty treatments, nothing showers are about clearing the mind and not necessarily cleansing the body. Mental health experts suggest that hot showers can help with grounding and soothing anxiety, as they engage multiple senses. However, dermatologists warn against taking extremely hot showers regularly as it can damage the skin. Grounding exercises like box-breathing and body scan meditations can also be done outside of the shower for mental well-being.
