¨If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in a drop of water¨

This powerful phrase was written by the anthropologist, writer, environmentalist and poet Loran Eisely. Who dedicated his professional career to understanding human evolution and its connection to the environmental movement.

We loved starting this short article with this reflection, because once again, nature shows us its power and benefits, this time through bath salts.

The benefits of seawater have been known and taken advantage of since ancient times and there are even therapies that are based on the health properties of salt. When we cannot go to this type of treatment and we do not have a beach nearby, bath salts are the perfect substitute.

We all need a well-deserved break from time to time and if this break includes actions that improve our health, all the better! Bath salts help us meet two great objectives: taking a break and taking care of our well-being. In addition, taking salt baths is easier and cheaper than you can imagine. You will see that with very little you can create your Spa at home and have one more activity option perfect for the weekends.

Here we tell you some benefits of these salt baths:

1. Detox effect: The minerals and trace elements present in salt help your skin release toxins, improving your general well-being.

2. Muscle pain: a hot bath with salts relieves muscle pain, promoting inflammation and relieving muscle tension.

3. Reduce skin inflammation and irritation: salt has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties that help relieve skin irritations caused by dermatitis, foot fungus, psoriasis, etc.

4. Protects the skin: dry skin is a problem that can affect us more when it is cold and taking hot baths with salt helps improve hydration and reduce the feeling of tightness.

5. Relieve joint inflammation: hot baths with salt are a natural remedy to relieve joint pain typical in pathologies such as arthritis.

Using them is very simple, we recommend filling a tub with warm water, and little by little adding salts. About 50 grams may be more than enough, although the amount really depends more on your taste. Let the salts take effect, dilute and then dry your feet with a dry towel. If you accompany it with a lavender and chamomile tea, much better!

Don't miss the opportunity to create a spa in your home.

You will see how your day changes.
