Bathing in Bath Salts

Bathing in water infused with natural mineral salts has a profound effect on our bodies, skin, internal organs and respiratory system. It is the oldest therapeutic and cosmetic treatment. Bathing in warm salt water is more beneficial than cooler sea water. The skin pores open, facilitating absorption of valuable microelements present in saline solution; penetrate the inner organs via skin and through respiratory system starting a healing process helpful in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, digestive, dermatological, respiratory, neurological and gynecological disorders. Bath salts regenerate the body after the intense physical effort and accelerate healing after sports injuries. 

PHISIOLOGY OF SALT

The human body is composed in majority from slightly salinated water with physiological content of 0.9%. This is why bathing in salt water initiates many important biochemical reactions of intense ionic exchanges between the human body and salt solution. The body releases toxins and metabolic by-products like uric acid, lactic acid, acetone, and creatinine. It absorbs ions from dissolved salt like iodine, bromine, calcium, magnesium, silica and selenium. As a result of that exchange the body starts a beneficial healing process of physiological changes. The liver, kidneys, and all of the endocrine system become relieved, and the immune and hormone systems get stronger.  Skin retains moisture becoming more elastic and blood circulation increases.

HOW TO USE BATH SALTS

The effect and properties of salt baths depend on the concentration of salt in the bath water. The process is more effective when saturation exceeds 1%.  When the saturation is below 6%, the body absorbs water, when it is above 6% the body releases water.

Therapeutic baths should be done in saturation between 1% to 5%. Solution of 1% is made by adding 2.2 lbs of salt to 26 gallons of water( size of regular bath tub).  A 3% solution is made by adding 6.6 lbs of salt to 26 gallons of water at a temperature of 96.8-100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. These baths can be taken as often as every other day, or during sickness or in series of 10 baths every other day twice a year to maintain healthy lifestyle.
