We don't always have time to take a bath, but since ancient times baths have been relaxing, therapeutic and sometimes even necessary for the body and mind, improving physically and emotionally.
After a long and stressful day, a hot and calm bath is very nice without the need to look at the clock, especially when you feel fatigued, your feet are tired, you feel tension in your body. The solution is not always to take supplements or drugs!!
A bath with hot water can benefit us and if we also add a small handful of salts, it will improve circulation, reduce tension and is highly recommended for muscle tension, spasms and even muscle injuries. The salts in the bath also help to purify the skin and keep it soft, eliminate sweat, clean pores and toxins.
To the benefits of bath salts we must add the essences that are usually combined, which is why it is linked to aromatherapy: They can improve skin irritations, other actions that can range from eczema to athlete's foot.
The purest form of salts can benefit us for themselves, but also for the minerals and nutrients they provide: magnesium, potassium, calcium, bromine and sodium.
Magnesium: helps improve stress and fatigue
Calcium: water retention, osteoporosis prevention
Potassium: improves hydration
Bromine: improves muscle tension
Sodium: in lymphatic balance
We recommend the Relaxing Awakening Ritual "steam bath with eucalyptus essences+hot tub with lavender salts+sedative body massage" with this ritual, you can disconnect and forget about daily stress and be able to enjoy the pleasure of the waters.
EPSOM SALTS
Epson salts are magnesium sulfate salts. Sulfates help absorb nutrients, eliminate toxins and even help with migraines. The properties of Epson salts have been known for centuries.
Relaxation properties: Magnesium stimulates the production of serotonin, improves calm and relaxation, increases energy and the production of ATP (the molecule that cells use for energy).
Baths with Epson salts:
Reduces stress and elevates mood, reducing irritability
Improves pain and muscle cramps, reduces inflammation, asthma and migraines
Neutralizes body odor
Improves muscular and nervous functioning, helps regulate the electrolytes in our body, both at the muscular, nervous and enzymatic level.
Eliminate toxins and heavy metals from the body
Improves absorption of nutrients
Better functioning of the heart and blood circulation
Improves insulin effectiveness
We recommend taking a bath two to three times a week by adding two glasses of these salts to the bath for approximately 12 minutes. You can also add 1 or 2 tablespoons of coconut or baby oil. Do not use soap so as not to interfere with the benefits of the salts.
One of the most important effects of these salts is on dry, atopic skin, with eczema or psoriasis.
Taking regular baths with Epsom salts can help improve this irritation problem. But you have to limit the bath time and rinse your skin well after bathing. The water should also not be too hot. Apply a moisturizer or oil after bathing.
DEAD SEA SALTS
MINERAL CONTENT: The Dead Sea contains 21 minerals important for life and health, below we detail the most important ones and their healing properties:
Bromine: softens the skin, relaxes the muscles and calms the nerves.
Calcium: strengthens bones, strengthens cell membranes and cleans pores.
Magnesium: essential for cellular metabolism, it promotes the rapid restoration of the skin by providing it with elements that protect it from allergies.
Potassium: reduces fluid retention in the body and regulates the nervous system.
Sulfide: natural disinfectant recognized for its detoxifying properties that helps the liver eliminate toxins from the body.
Sodium: relieves muscle cramps and acts as a detoxifier.
Iodine: important mineral for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland.
Zinc: protects the skin against sunburn, strengthens the immune system.
The benefits of dead sea salts begin to be noticed after a few weeks of treatment.
Baths with dead sea salts must be quite concentrated. I recommend using not very hot water (which is not beneficial for dryness or skin problems) and immersing the entire body for 20 minutes.
We recommend adding two or three cups of salts, not adding soaps or detergents. It is very important to rinse the skin well after bathing and hydrate it immediately upon drying.
In summary, these salts are recommended to reduce stress, in cases of insomnia, respiratory diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and degenerative diseases.
SALTS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN AND PACIFIC
We can prepare our own bath salts, using sea salt and adding essential oils to the bath or herbal infusions.
To exfoliate with bath salts, simply add a small amount of water to the bathtub, and massage the bath salts previously soaked with essential oil all over the body, keep them applied for a while and then rinse or finish filling the bath. bathtub.
On the feet you can massage more deeply.
BENEFITS OF BATHS WITH SALT
– The beauty of bath salts is that if they are of good quality, they can recreate a true thermal bath in our bathtub, since the salts simulate the minerals they have. The water in which we immerse ourselves, in a thermal bath, is nothing more than a combination of H2O, along with natural minerals, which are combined, we can supply these natural minerals, in an ordinary bathtub, by means of bath salts.
