Bath Salt

The Origin of Salt Bathing

From ancient civilizations to today, salt and the sea has been associated with health and therapy. Hippocrates was the first one to detail the benefits of sea water. He encouraged his fellow healers to immerse patients with aching muscles and arthritis in sea water

The ancient Greeks continued this by soaking in sea water hot tubs and heated seaweed bath, sea water massages, had sea green facials and body wraps, and used sea water pools for hydrotherapy and elimination of toxins from the body.

Then the Romans raised bathing to a high art. Roman citizens lingered for hours in communal hot baths, where they socialized, conducted courtship, and even sealed business deals. They built lavish baths wherever they found natural hot springs .

In Europe , people started hearing about the curative properties of sea water and began flocking to the coasts, especially to Great Britain and France . Some of marine hospitals started to open, such as Petit Berck, the first French marine hospital, Louis Bagot, the first thalassotherapy (from the Greek thalassa for "sea" therapeia for "care" clinic in Europe. During the next several hundred years, doctors and scientists began studying what it was that made sea water beneficial for so many ailments

 

Benefits of Himalayan Crystal Salt Bathing

It is important to choose a quality bath salt product that is free of chemicals and rich in minerals to get full benefit of bathing. Himalayan Crystal Salt is 100% pure and contains 84 "natural" elements possible 92 trace minerals, in the same proportion as naturally exists in our blood. Human blood contains 0.9% salt-sodium chloride, the same saline solution used medically to cleanse wounds. It is universally accepted that natural salt can have a wonderful effect on circulation and metabolism.

Magnesium is important for both combating stress and fluid retention, slowing skin aging and calming the nervous system. Calcium is effective at preventing water retention, increasing circulation and strengthening bones and nails. Potassium energizes the body, helps to balance skin moisture and is a crucial mineral to replenish following intense exercise. Bromides act to ease muscle stiffness and relax muscles. Sodium is important for the lymphatic fluid balance (this in turn is important for immune system function).

So we can see that bathing in high quality salt could replenish the minerals which are critical to our skin metabolism.

The therapeutic benefits of natural salt baths are well known and often recommended by doctors for treating a wide range of medical conditions

 

Time to jump into the ancient primal ocean

Slip into a sheer ocean of energy with these magical Crystal Salt. Imagine taking a dip in the pristine primal ocean, some 250 million years ago. Now you can. Relax, while your body absorbs the 84 vital nutrients and your skin attains the soft glow of health. Your skin is an excretive organ that mirrors the condition of your intestines. When you take a brine bath, the salt minerals help your skin in the form of ions. Bio-energetic weak points will be balanced and your body's energy flow will be activated.

Studies have shown that you can achieve best results taking a brine bath during the change of the moon. The minerals and energies stored in the brine can optimally be absorbed during a full moon. During a new moon, the cleansing effects are optimized because the body's capacity for detoxifying is at its peak.

 

To get the full benefit of a therapeutic natural salt bath,

1 . The salt concentration has to be at least the same as the one of our body fluids (approximately0.9%) to activate the osmotic exchange ratio. The formula for a 1% solution is 1.28 ounces of salt per gallon of water.

2 . A full tub is normally 27-32gallons (100-120 liters) of water, so you need about 2.0 pounds of Crystal Salt and 3/4 tub of water. You can use one whole bag at a time or half a bag with half a tub of water.

3 . To avoid using body energy to balance the temperature, the water should be approximately 37° Celsius (97° Fahrenheit). Your bath will remain at a constant temperature because the biophysical composition of the salt is so strong - it causes the molecules to move in a constant rhythm.

4 . Now hang the Crystal Salt fabric bag we provided on the tab with running water to dissolve salt easily. Do not use any bath additives, soaps, or oils.

5 . Soak for around 20-30 minutes, simply dry off with a towel. After your brine bath, you should rest for at least 30 minutes.

6 . If you suffer from weak or have any heart problems consult with doctor first.
