250 year old Himalayan salt is naturally pure and is used for healing the body and relaxing the mind. For centuries, salts have been used to remove toxins from the body.  Salts are known for their healing properties and as remedies for a variety of health issues from stimulating circulation to lowering blood pressure.  Salt bathing works partly because natural mineral salts restore mineral balance via the skin.  Medical research has long established the benefits of absorption through the skin.  Natural salt contains many minerals, including magnesium, which helps the nervous system, relieves stress, and can relieve water retention.  It also helps bring about a healthy calcium balance, which strengthens bones and nails.  The salt also contains potassium, which you need for your blood after exercise, and for moist, healthy skin and all-over energy.  Bromides in the salt heal and relax your muscles.  And, of course, you need the sodium for a healthy immune system and appropriate fluid balance in your body.

When water and salt combine, the ions create a process called hydration. Bath salt therapy can aid those suffering from various skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, warts, athletes foot, insect bites, poison ivy/oak, infections, blisters, wounds, burns and other skin inflictions.  (See below for further information.)  Steam inhalation therapy can aid with respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, sinus infections, allergies and colds.  (See below for further information on steam inhalation therapy.)

You don't have to be sick to benefit from a mineral salt bath.  Salt is cleansing and healthful for anyone.  Bathing in Himalayan salt crystals stimulates circulation, hydrates and detoxifies the skin and increases moisture retention.  Salt water bathing reduces inflammation of the muscles and joints, relaxes muscles and relieves pain and soreness. 

Mineral Salt Baths Help Heal Your Body and Relax Your Mind

Himalayan bath salt therapy is terrific for soothing skin irritations and aiding the recovery of respiratory ailments.  Salt Sensations' Himalayan Bath Salt is a natural disinfectant and contains no chemicals or fragrances.  A natural salt crystal lamp or tea light candle creates just the right ambiance and purified air to complement your bath salt therapy. 

Salt Water Bath Therapy:  Detoxify your body and relax your mind with a bath using Salt Sensations' Himalayan Bath Salt.  Dissolve 1/4 cup Himalayan Bath Salt in a warm bath.  Do not use any bath additives, soaps or oils.  Your bath should last 20 to 30 minutes.  Do not shower off, simply dry off with a towel.

If No Time For Bath: Dissolve 1/8 cup Himalayan Bath Salt in sink or bowl of warm water and soak your hands, arms and/or feet to draw out toxins from the body and stimulate energy flow.

Steam Inhalation Therapy (to relieve congestion):  Fill a wide pot or pan with 1-2 quarts of water and heat only until it begins to steam.  Reduce heat to maintain the steam, but don't boil the water.  Add Salt Sensations' Himalayan Bath Salt.*  After the salt dissolves, remove pot from heat source, place on a protected surface, cover your head with a large towel, hold your face over the pot far enough so as not to burn yourself, and inhale deeply.  Inhale the steam for 10 to 15 minutes.  The respiratory tract needs about 30 minutes following the inhalation to accumulate and bind the pollutants to be coughed up.

*Studies have shown that with diseases affecting the respiratory system, using a ratio of up to 8% will achieve best results.  However, you should start with a 1% solution and then slowly increase the concentration with each treatment.

Warning:  While bath salts have a positive effect on many ailments, they can also be demanding on your circulatory system.  If you suffer from weak or poor heart circulation, are pregnant or overweight,  consult your physician before using any bath salt therapy.

Other Mineral Bath Salt Therapies:

Other common health problems can be helped with a solution of salt and water called "sole" (pronounced: so-lay) or "brine":

Acne - Try a brine face wash or mix Himalayan Bath Salt with fragrance-free, natural soap as a face or body scrub.

Ear Infections - Use the brine as eardrops.

Sore Throats - Gargle with warm brine, but don't swallow.

Nasal Congestion - Try a nasal wash a with a few grains of bath salt crystals dissolved in 1/4 cup of warm water.

Psoriasis - Rub brine directly on the affected skin and let dry.

You can make your own brine right in your own home.  Loosely fill a closable glass container (Mason jar) with several Himalayan bath salt crystals.  Add natural spring or purified water to fill the container.  After approximately 24 hours, look to see if the salt crystals have completely dissolved.  If so, add a few more crystals.  When the water can no longer dissolve any more salt, the salt crystals will sit at the bottom of the jar without dissolving.  At this point, the solution will have become saturated at 26% and is ready for use.  This brine solution is completely sterile and germ-free, allowing it to be stored for years in a closed glass container without changing or decomposing.  The glass can be refilled again and again with water and salt, continuing this process.
