A yuzu bath, also known as a yuzuyu (柚子湯), is a bathing tradition that is celebrated on the winter solstice in Japan. Yuzu fruits, citrus fruit of East Asian origin known for their characteristically strong aroma and the fragrant oil from their skin (nomilin), are floated in the hot water of the bath, releasing their aroma. The fruit may also be floated cut in half, allowing the citrus juice to mingle with the bathwater and color it yellow-orange, or enclosed in a cloth bag. Alternatively, yuzu-scented bath salts are used.[1] Yuzu baths are believed to guard against colds, treat the roughness of skin, warm the body, and relax the mind.[2][3]
