In the summer heat we often try to cool down with everything – cold drink, fan or shower. But what if there is a way to combine pleasant with useful and beautify the garden? Herbal water bowls are a simple, fragrant and aesthetically impressive solution that will turn every sitting outside into a relaxing experience.
When the temperatures rise and the air almost does not move, most of us are looking for simple ways to relieve the heat. While air conditioning or fan is a technical solution, nature offers a much more natural way – and beautiful to look. We are talking about herbal water bowls that combine refreshment and the magic of garden decoration. Just an ordinary bowl of water, a few sprigs of herbs and a piece of shade – and your garden will suddenly turn into a summer bath.

Undemanding favorite idea
This undemanding idea, which has been popular with not only gardeners, but also lovers of wellness rituals, has roots in the traditional use of hydrosols, or flower waters. But unlike distilled extracts, you work here with what is growing – lavender, mint, lemon balm or even thyme. Add herbs, petals, even slices of lemon or currant fruits to the bowl -impregnated bowl. Not only does the water cool down, but it also begins to smell A in which you sit. Place the bowl on the garden table, to a lounger or on the window sill – it does great everywhere.
“Fresh herbs are a simple way to improve the taste of water and at the same time add health benefits unobtrusively,” says registered dietitian Lauren Manaker.
Ideal for summer hot days
On hot days, the water in the bowl is easily warmed up and the smell is even more. In addition, it also works as a natural dust trap and a light air humidifier in the wind. If you choose herbs as lavender or mint that repel insects, you will also receive subtle protection against intrusive mosquitoes. And if you immerse your hands in cold water with aromatic leaves, you will experience an immediate refreshment and a small home ritual against fatigue.
Herbal water bowls are proof that complete little things are often enough for summer comfort. Try to make them yourself – differently, depending on the mood or plants that you have at hand. You get a natural oasis that caresses the senses and gives your garden a distinctive charm.
