It’s not just the heaven scent, beyond delicious aroma blends of Coconut & Vanilla (CocoNilla) and Mango & Passionfruit (MangoDusk) that make our bath salts divine….
It’s the healing properties of the ingredients as well. If not more so.
Ingredients:
Fine Sea Salt, Coarse Sea Salt, Epsom Salt, BiCarb Soda, Dried Calendula Flowers, Coconut Fragrance, Vanilla Fragrance
The combination of all these salts and Bicarb Soda (or Baking Soda) is extremely beneficial to the skin, body and mind, assisting the metabolism and circulation.
Sea Salts contain many minerals beneficial to the body, specifically Magnesium, Calcium and Potassium and Sodium in the form of bromides.
- Magnesium is important for both combating stress and fluid retention, slowing skin aging and calming the nervous system.
- Calcium is effective at preventing water retention, increasing circulation and strengthening bones.
Bromides act to ease muscle stiffness and relax muscles so…
- Potassium energizes the body, helps to balance skin moisture and is a crucial mineral for replenishing moisture after intense exercise.
- Sodium is important for lymphatic fluid balance (very important for the immune system).
Bicarb Soda assists Sea Salts in detoxification of heavy metals and radiation, also for soothing itchy skin.
Epsom Salt draws out toxins from the skin.
Known scientifically as hydrated magnesium sulfate, Epsom Salt is rich in both Magnesium and Sulfate.
Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind adequate amounts of Serotonin, a mood elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of well being and relaxation.
Magnesium is a very hard mineral to be absorbed by mouth. Most of us are severely lacking in magnesium BUT…it is easily absorbed through the skin.
…but…the most important thing about magnesium is that it binds calcium to our blood and bones.
Although people think they’re doing the right Calcium thing by drinking lots of milk or eating all the good stuff (and no, although chocolate is dairy and is definitely Good Stuff…it doesn’t count!)…most are not!
Calcium passes through the body almost immediately.
Calcium is the main conductor for electrical current in the body, and Magnesium is necessary to maintain proper calcium levels in the blood.
Sulfates play an important role in the formation of brain tissue, joint proteins (when imbibed, they stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes) and are thought to help detoxify the body of medicines and environmental contaminants.
…but… please be aware that Sulfate can cause an allergic reaction in some. However, we’re talking very rare cases and in ‘large’ percentages. Sulfate is a natural ingredient of Epsom Salt and too little to pose a danger but just enough to do its good stuff!
The Dried Calendula Flowers aren’t just for looking pretty! Calendula or Marigold, has been a common and important part of herbal preparations for centuries.
It’s used to reduce inflammation and as an antiseptic. Also beneficial for eczema and minor burns and it’s wound healing medicinal applications are legendary.
Please note:
Although Calendula is a highly respected herbal ingredient and very important to this salts blend, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PREGNANT WOMEN. Please email for further info.
It is possible to purchase an exSALTing blend without the calendula.
All these ingredients combined with the relaxing properties of hot water plus the aroma sensations of Coconut & Vanilla or Mango & Passionfruit, creates a total sensory pleasure balance.
Please Also Note:
It is not recommended to use Epsom Salts if you have high blood pressure or a heart or kidney condition
