Bath
Salts
Bath salts can help improve the way you
feel and ease away the tension. Not only do bath salts come in a
variety of soothing fragrances, they also offer many other benefits
including certain healing properties.
Adding a little salt to your water can actually help improve your
circulation. Bath salts also reduce tenderness. They are recommended
for people with back pain, arthritis, muscle tension or spasms, and
minor work and sports injuries. They're great for easing stiff, sore,
muscles and aching feet and legs.
Bath salts open the
pores to purify the skin, cleansing away dirt, sweat, and toxins. They
aid in the healing of dry skin, making skin softer and more supple.
Salts can help improve common irritations such as insect bites, minor
rashes, and calluses on feet, as well as more serious skin
conditions like athlete's foot, eczema, and psoriasis. High quality
salts may also help improve the appearance of scars.
Salts made with essential oils offer the added benefit of aromatherapy.
Pleasant, soothing scents have been shown to induce calmness and
promote relaxation. Scented bath salts combine these attributes with
other healing properties. The ability to relax and unwind at the end of
the day is also the best way to insure sound, restful sleep at night,
and bath salts can help.
Salts, such as bath salt or Epsom salt, are also good for exfoliation.
Gently rub salt over feet, knees, or elbows, with a damp washcloth.
Exfoliation should be completed, and exfoliated areas should be rinsed
thoroughly, before you take a bath. Fresh, newly uncovered skin will
also benefit from soaking in water treated with salts.
