Ingredients For The Basic Recipe

So how do you make your bath salts?

The recipe to make bath salts is so easy:

Mix 3 parts Epsom Salt, 2 part baking soda and 1 part sea salt...and you are done.

Homemade bath salts make wonderful gifts...just place some in a pretty container.

Sea Salts

• Dead sea salt

• Regular sea salt

• Himalayan sea salt

Salt is not only essential to life but it is necessary for your good health.

Your blood is made of 0.9% salt-sodium chloride - this same saline solution is used in medicine to clean wounds. Salt helps to maintain the electrolyte balance inside and outside your cells.

Sea salt is also very beneficial for your skin.

Your skin absorbs sea salts, vitamins and any other substances it comes into contact with. As mentioned above, sea salts have a wonderful effect on your circulation and metabolism - and who does not want that?.

It is a fact that sea salts contain minerals beneficial to your body. For example, magnesium is important for combating stress and fluid retention as well as slowing the aging process of the skin and calming the central nervous system.

Would you like more examples?

Calcium is effective at preventing water retention, increasing circulation and strengthening bones and nails.

Potassium energizes the body, helps to balance skin moisture and is a crucial mineral to replenish after intense exercise.

Bromides act to ease muscle stiffness and relax muscles.

And on and on it goes.

Epsom Salt

The benefits of Epsom Salt aren't just folklore. Numerous studies have indeed demonstrated the profound and wide-ranging benefits of magnesium and sulfate, the two major components of Epsom Salt.

So what can Epsom Salt do for you?

• Eases stress and relaxes body

Stress drains the body of magnesium and Epsom Salt is considered to be a natural stress reliever.

When dissolved in warm water Magnesium Sulfate is absorbed through the skin and replenishes the level of magnesium in the body.

The salt draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling and relaxes muscles.

The magnesium helps to produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of calm and relaxation. Research shows that magnesium also increases energy and stamina by encouraging the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy packets made in the cells.

Magnesium ions also relax and reduce irritability by lowering the affects of adrenaline. It lowers blood pressure, creates a relaxed feeling, improves sleep, concentration, and helps muscles and nerves to function properly.

• Relieves pain and muscle cramps

An Epsom Salt bath is known to relieve inflammation and relieves pain, making it beneficial in the treatment of sore muscles, bronchial asthma and migraine. In addition, it has been known to heal cuts, reduce soreness from childbirth and relieves colds and congestion.

• Exfoliates dead skin

Try massaging handful of Epsom Salt mixed with tablespoon bath oil or olive oil and rub all over your moist skin to exfoliate and soften your skin. Then rinse.

• Helps muscles and nerves function properly

Studies show that magnesium is an electrolyte and helps to ensure proper functioning of the muscle, nerve and enzyme. It is also known to be critical in the proper use of calcium in cells.

• Helps prevent hardening of arteries and blood clots

Epsom Salt is also believed to help prevent heart disease and strokes by lowering blood pressure, protecting the elasticity of arteries, preventing blood clots and reducing the risk of sudden heart attack deaths.

Etc...

Baking Soda

Baking soda neutralizes acid and washes away oil and perspiration. It also helps make your skin silky smooth.
