It’s hard to escape all the stress and fatigue that comes with living in our on-the-go world, which is why finding moments of self-care and relaxation couldn’t be any more important. That’s where bath salts come in – they can offer a serene escape from all the chaos around you. What are bath salts, you ask? Well, that’s what we’re here to answer. So let’s delve into the essence of bath salts, and uncover their origins, their benefits, and how to use bath salts in your bathing routine.
Bath salts have been around for a long time – centuries, in fact. They’re extracted from various sources, like the Dead Sea, Himalayan mountains, and Epsom salt springs, and contain an array of skin-nourishing minerals like magnesium, potassium and calcium that also hold therapeutic benefits for the mind and body.
Soothing muscles. Alleviating stress. Promoting relaxation. Bath salts do it all. The minerals in bath salts are absorbed through the skin, replenishing electrolytes and easing muscle tension. What’s more, the aromatherapeutic properties of certain bath salts can uplift mood and enhance overall well-being.
Bringing bath salts into the bath with you – it’s a simple move, but it can be completely transformative. And there’s really not much to it. Begin by filling your bathtub with warm water, ensuring it's at a comfortable temperature. Next, sprinkle a generous amount of bath salts into the water, allowing them to dissolve completely. How much of the bath salts you put in is both completely up to you, but also dependant on the type of bath salts being used. Generally, a handful or two is sufficient to reap the benefits. As you soak in the fragrant waters, take deep breaths, and immerse yourself in the tranquillity. Before you know it, any stress and worry will have been washed away.
There’s no shortage of bath salt variety, which is great, as each offers unique benefits and experiences. You can use our thyme-scented Muscle Soak Bath Salts to soothe tired and aching muscles. Or our Detoxed Bath Salts, enriched with calcium, sodium and magnesium, to help you de-stress and unwind. And you can help settle your mind with our Aromatherapy Bath Salts, blended with the calming scent of lavender.
So, to give your baths another level of wellness, consider sprinkling in some bath salts from now on. There’s no easier way to nurture your mind, body and soul, and in this day and age, that’s never been more important.
