The benefits of relaxation cannot be overstated. Add an effective body detox with relaxation and you are creating more health and wellness for yourself. Helping yourself unwind and detox can be as calm and cozy as your next bath, especially when you indulge in natural detox products best known for their wide array of benefits. Three particularly effective detox baths come with a bevy of benefits that extend beyond your body to additionally soothe your mind and spirit.
Himalayan Bath Salt
Edible Himalayan salt may be delicious on your scrambled eggs, and the bath salt version of the Himalayan treasure can be even more delicious for your body when you add it to your bath.
Himalayan bath salts come in the form of pink crystals culled from the depths of the Himalayan Mountains. Himalayan salt gets credit for being the purest salt on earth, according to WiseGeek.com, and the bath salts get credit for a wide range of bath time benefits.
Detoxification ranks as one of the top benefits of these pure Himalayan bath salts, but they can also replenish your body with essential nutrients. Since Himalayan bath salts contain 84 minerals that are naturally found in the human body, soaking in a hot bath opens your skin pores and allows the supplementary minerals to soak into your body through your skin.
A sweet soak can help improve the overall condition of your skin, revitalizing your body with potassium, magnesium and iodine, and working to alleviate a number of skin conditions. Fungal infections, psoriasis, eczema and athlete’s foot may respond well to a Himalayan bath salt soak, as may dry skin and swelling and pain caused by conditions such as arthritis.
