Benefits of Relaxing Bath Salts

Dear UrTheBestYou Readers,

The benefits of taking time to relax in bath salts are not only physical but mental as well. In most of our lives, we struggle with stress. Whether it be work, home, relationships, family, or other things going on in our lives. We forget to take care of ourselves.

One of my absolute favorite things is a soak bath. It gives me time alone to unwind and shut off my brain for a little bit. I struggle with anxiety and am a huge overthinker, so it's hard to fully relax sometimes. I pour some bath salts in the bath, right now I'm using Rose, light a couple of candles, and through on some jazz music. Once in a while I'll add a glass of wine or read a good book. The important thing about this time is it's for you. Not a time to think about your to-do list or that big project coming up or the laundry that needs to be folded (the worst part of laundry lol). 

Some of the biggest benefits of a bath salt soak are physical though. It helps to ease stress and relax the body, relieve muscle soreness, ease headaches, eliminate toxins from the body, and soothe dry and itchy skin. It may also help with constipation, achy joints, arthritis, and circulation problems. 

Epsom Salt is a natural resource for Magnesium, which is a key ingredient for our bodies that we normally don't get enough of. Below is a resource for the benefits of Magnesium in our bodies. I know for myself I didn't realize how beneficial this mineral was and how much we need it.  https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/magnesium-benefit 

Dead Sea Salt contains over 21 essential minerals and nutrients. Even if you don't have a bath, do a foot soak! The pores on the bottom of the feet are the most absorbent. This allows substances to be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly. 

Jojoba oil mimics our skin's natural oils so it shouldn't cause clogging of the pours and most people shouldn't have reactions to it. 

Take away from this, if nothing else, is to set aside time for you. It's so important to take care of yourself both mentally and physically. You are amazing and deserve the very best.

Have a blessed day,
