Benefits of using bath salts?

Bath salts promote relaxation and a sense of well-being.  Soaking in a tub filled with warm water and bath salts is the best way to soothe sore muscles.  It helps to detoxify your body while exfoliating your skin.  The best part is that you are using all natural ingredients.

Bath salts are easy to make.  They contain 3 main ingredients and 2 optional ingredients.  Let’s go over what they are. The main ingredients are Epsom salt, sea salt and baking soda. The optional ingredients are essential oils and color.

Epsom salt (Magnesium sulfate) helps to reduce pain and swelling. Many people report that it helps  to improve symptoms of arthritis.  It also helps to promote good sleep.  What makes it so effective is the magnesium.  Magnesium helps your body produce melatonin, which promotes sleep.

Sea Salt (Sodium chloride) helps to regulate blood pressure in the body.

Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) has a cleansing and detoxifying effect. It may also help to boost immunity and soothe irritated skin.

Essential oils are extracted from plants. They have a unique aromatic scent and aids in providing relief of many different ailments.

Color can be used if you want but it is not necessary.
