BENEFITS OF TAKING A SALT BATH

• Promote relaxation
• Promote better sleep
• Relieve water retention
• Soothe sore muscles
• Balance skin
• Increase circulation
• Accelerate wound healing
• Improve skin hydration

On a purely visual level salt can greatly improve the appearance of skin.  Taking a warm bath opens the pores, allowing the minerals in the bath to thoroughly cleanse the skin. Bathing in a solution of warm water and bath salts will work to draw out impurities, pollution, oil and dirt from the skin. 

A FEW WORDS OF CAUTION

While bath salts have many beneficial effects, people under a doctor's care for any condition should consult their health care provider before taking salt baths.

• Since a salt bath can place extra pressure on the circulatory system, those who suffer from heart conditions should always consult their doctor first.
• People with diabetes, kidney or liver disease, low or high blood pressure, recent illness, or any disease should check with their health care provider before using salt baths. 
• If you are pregnant, please discuss salt baths with your doctor or midwife. 

Even a healthy person may begin to feel dizzy, or not well when taking a bath. If this happens, slowly get out, rest, and drink some water as you may be dehydrated. If you do not feel better soon, please seek medical advice.
