Bath Salt Benefits

Few things can be as deeply and instantly relaxing after a long, stressful day as a hot bath. Many people choose to enhance the therapeutic qualities of soaking in the tub with salts, minerals, and essential oils.

Apart from their soothing aromas, these substances can offer real relief from muscle aches and joint pain. Whether an intense workout routine has you beat, or sitting at your desk day in and day out has started to take its toll, bath salts can work wonders for you.

Potential benefits from salts and oils in your tub include:

• Improved circulation
• Reduced tenderness
• Help with back pain, arthritis, and muscle spasms or tension
• Relief from minor work and sports-related injuries
• Opening of the pores to help purify skin and clean away toxins, dirt, and sweat

Eczema, psoriasis, athlete’s foot, insect bites, small rashes, and other skin conditions have all shown improvement with bath salt treatment as well.

If you take your bath near bedtime, the aromatherapy of essential oils can help calm you and ensure a good night’s sleep. Materials like Epsom salt are known for their exfoliating properties. Gently rubbing a warm, damp washcloth coated with these substances over your feet, knees and elbows can help reduce calluses and keep skin fresh and healthy.
