Fill vat and unplug. Therapeutic Baths

therapeutic baths they are a way to treat a variety of skin problems that can affect large areas of the body. A therapeutic bath can soothe itchy, hot, dry and inflamed skin. Hot baths are relaxing, while a cold bath can reduce inflammation.

There are many types of therapeutic baths that are used for different conditions:

• Cornstarch to relieve itchy skin

• Baking soda (baking soda) will soften the skin and is helpful if you have hard water.

• Mineral salts are very beneficial for detoxifying and replenishing the mineral body. Some types of salts used for bathing are Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate), magnesium salt (magnesium chloride), Himalayan pink salt, Dead Sea salt, and Arctic mineral salt. Each one is used to address specific problems.

• Salt water baths are used to treat injuries to the body.

• Colloidal oatmeal added to a bath can soothe and stop itchy skin. It does not dry out the skin and is suitable for children too.

• Bath oils will moisturize your skin to relieve eczema and dry skin.

How to prepare a bath of Therapeutic Mineral Salts:

Drink water before bathing (salt can dehydrate). Adding lemon to your water will also benefit the body. Dry brush your skin. Help your body get rid of dead skin. Dry brushing also speeds up the body’s ability to eliminate waste.

For adults 100 pounds and over, add about 1/4 cup to bath. (Add up to 1 cup over time. It is recommended that you increase to this.) If you don’t have a water filter, add 1 cup of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to help soften and improve the water. To help neutralize chlorine in your bath water, use ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate, both of which are forms of vitamin C. About 100 grams of vitamin C should suffice.) The baking soda will also help soften your skin! (Optional: 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar. Do not substitute vinegar.)

The water temperature for a salt bath should feel comfortable to the hand. Not too hot! The bath should not last more than 20 minutes. We DO NOT recommend adding soap, bath oil, or fragrance (natural or synthetic) to the salt bath. A bath mat should be placed in the bathtub (before adding water) for safety.

Do not overheat while soaking. When you are done bathing, get out of the tub slowly, then gently scrub your skin with a washcloth, then rinse under the shower.

Your body has been working hard, so take your time and remember to be careful on slippery surfaces.

Drink lots of water and rest.

The principles of the therapeutic bath are numerous. We recommend that you start slowly. Mineral baths can stress the circulatory system if you have a heart condition or poor circulation. Check with your doctor if you have health problems before taking SALT baths. Do not use bath salts if you are pregnant.

Relax and unwind… enjoy your bath!
