Nah, the bathing scene is probably more symbolic of her regeneration.

In Japanese culture, bathing is a very important daily activity and has a lot of ritualized aspects. They generally clean off outside the bath, then soak for a long period to relax (usually with stuff like bath salts or the like), then rinse off again, then take a final long soak.

It's seen as an important activity not just for getting clean, but for physical and mental restoration. Water = Purity, Restoration.

So it's basically showing how she's completely restored and in good spirits.
