The Sea Salt Soak is a therapeutic soak that ends as a bath. Sea salt is a great purifier that dissipates negative energy. Sea salt is alkaline and therefore helps to lower the acidity of the body.

The salt water penetrates the pores and is absorbed into the bloodstream. From there, the salt helps to remove accumulated lactic acid in the body. Lactic acid becomes present in the body after strenuous workouts or heavy activity. The acid can build up in muscle tissue, causing you to feel stiff and sore.

Sea salt is the only recommended salt to use for soaks. It is widely available and comes in many varieties. Do not use common table salt. Instead, use one of the following varieties of sea salt:

•      Dead Sea Salt
•      Himalayan Salt
•      Mediterranean Sea Salt
•      Atlantic Sea Salt

Performing a Sea Salt Soak

Begin by running hot water in your bathtub. While the tub is filling, add 16 ounces of sea salt to the water. Next, you may want to add essential oils to the water for added benefits or you may purchase our already prepared custom sea salt blends.
Enter the tub and begin soaking. Soak for 45-60 minutes. Relax, meditate, listen to music, and focus on the health of your body.

Before you exit the tub, bathe. Scrub yourself with a loofah brush or wash yourself thoroughly with a towel.

Following the soak, you may like to use moisturizing oil on your body. Be sure to use a natural, botanical oil on the skin. These allow the skin to breathe properly. Some excellent skin oils to try are:

• Castor Oil
• Emu Oil
• Sweet Almond Oil
• Grape Seed Oil
• Jojoba Oil
• Sunflower Oil
• Avocado Oil
