The blending of pure essential oils with high
quality bath salts provides powerful healing and therapeutic
benefits to your mind body and spirit and are becoming popular
with many health and beauty conscious people. An entire industry
of Aromatherapy spas using essential oils has grown out of
the need for people to create balance of body, mind and spirit.
The use of mineral sea salt in baths, particularly Dead Sea
salt, is also a common treatment at many spas. The highly
concentrated mineral salt water of the Dead Sea has been known
for its healing powers for centuries. As a result, the Dead
Sea today is home to several health spa resorts.
Essential oils have been used for centuries by many cultures
and are commonplace in many of today’s spas. The entire
bath experience can be enhanced with the addition of pure
essential oils (not fragrance oils which are man made). Specific
essential oils are known for their ability to relieve stress,
calm emotions and relaxed a tired body. Others are known to
rejuvenate and uplift energy levels and clarify the state
of mind. A nice relaxing soak with the wonderful scents of
essential oils adds a new dimension to an otherwise ordinary
bath.
With the addition of high quality salts to the bath, one
not only receives the benefit of a soak in a hot bath one
also receives many powerful healing and cleansing properties.
One might think a sea salt bath would dry out the skin but
this is not true, in fact, bathing in quality bath salt is
beneficial to proper skin health. Bathing in these bath salts
has been proven to aid with psoriasis, eczema, acne and dry
flaky skin. The cleansing properties of a sea salt bath is
its ability to clean pores and to detoxify the body by facilitating
an exchange of minerals and toxins between the body and water.
Some of the other known benefits of sea salt baths are their
ability to slow skin aging, relieve tension of sore back and
leg muscles, ease joint stiffness and inflammation, stimulate
circulation, soften callused feet, reduce stress and fluid
retention, balance skin moisture and re-mineralize the skin
after intense workouts.
Many people have enjoyed the benefits of Aromatherapy bath salt treatments at a favorite spa. What many may not realize,
is that they do not have to visit an expensive spa to have
access to quality Aromatherapy bath salt products. There are
now many spa quality products available to purchase for personal
use. The combination of essential oil and bath salt added to
a hot bath is an experience well worth exploring.
