Salt Baths
Inspiring wellness and self-care, taking a salt bath can help keep our bodies clean while also easing muscle aches, calming the mind, and eliminating pathogens all in one sitting. Minerals like magnesium and potassium found in Epsom salt and sea salt can be drawn into the bloodstream during a warm bath to eliminate toxins and balance the entire body. Plus, the salt mixture helps purge impurities from the skin, leaving you with a healthful glow and skin feeling supple and soft.
- Builds Immunity – By regularly indulging in sea salt baths, we expose ourselves to highly absorptive minerals that boost our resistance to illness and disease. Similar to the effects of physical exercise, warm baths have also been found to help with inflammation that is vital for increasing our body’s ability to ward off and fight diseases and illness. High in antibacterial properties, the soak helps eliminate pathogens while staving off harmful microbes.
- Increases Energy – When our bodies are not getting the minerals they need, fatigue begins to set in. Magnesium, in particular, is important for managing our stress response, but unfortunately, most people do not meet their recommended magnesium intake. This deficiency can lead to disrupted sleep and muscle fatigue. By indulging in a Salt Soak, you can restore the energy in your cells and make your way to a revitalized self.
- Balances Alkalinity- Excess acidity in the body from an improper diet can lead to overworking of organs, which then must take minerals from our bones and tissue. The baking soda in our salt soaks is a naturally alkaline substance with a reputation for removing toxins effectively. Introducing salt soaks to your life is a great way to remove excess acid from the cells and reintroduce trace minerals back into your body.
- Soothes Muscle Injury – Being in a warm bath can ease pain by taking the weight off joints and muscles.It can also help your body to heal faster after an injury or surgery. When used with warm water, the magnesium-rich salt helps relieve muscle spasms and menstrual cramps.

The temperature changes your body goes through when switching from a warm bath to cooler air can actually help improve sleep. In addition, the proper ratio of water and salt exposure can help prevent the need to urinate during the night, leading to less disrupted sleep.
