Sweet Harvest Farms Relaxing Bath Salts

Detox while you soak!

The benefits of bath salt go far beyond simply exfoliating dead cells. Soaking in a tub of bath salts can help relax, release muscle tension, aid in helping control athlete's foot, eczema, calluses, and other skin irritations.

Depending on the ingredients used bath salts can even help boost the immune system by cleansing toxins from the body (detoxifying). We have added organic Bentonite Clay to do just that! It’s not just about that sore back or releasing the tension from a hard day at work. It is also about taking care of your skin and recharging your mind and body. Our recipe was formulated to cleanse, heal and nourish your skin.

Turn the faucet on to fill the tub. Using Scoop included in the package, use two to four scoopfuls of salt – (or however many scoops you would like). Sprinkle under the running water so that it can dissolve completely before you enter the tub. You can also add a teaspoonful of coconut oil for a more supple soak but remember it could make your tube a bit slippery so care should be taken exiting and entering the tub should you choose to add the oil. Soak for 15-20 minutes, rinse with water, and pat dry. Don’t bathe afterward. You’ll be washing away the nutrients before they can be absorbed into your skin Save your soap bath another time!

As always, we go a step beyond what most offer commercially.  We only use the highest quality salts, clays, and oils. It is not just about what salts are used but also the ratio used in our own recipe.

Ingredients:

Himalayan Salt – Millions of years ago, as the great mountain ranges were being formed, these ancient sea salt deposits were preserved and protected from pollutants by layers of volcanic eruptions. Now careful and sustainable harvesting brings us some of the finest, most beneficial bath salts available anywhere in the world. Himalayan contains 84 valuable trace minerals, giving these salts an appealing natural pink coloring. These salts are amazing for maintaining the PH balance of your skin and can help reduce muscle tension.

Dead Sea Salt - Cleopatra was known as the “woman who time could not wither” and attributed that to the benefits of this special sea salt. Dead Sea salts are made up of a high percentage of magnesium, sulfates, and potassium which are known to reduce pain and inflammation from arthritis. The high mineral contents of this salt can be both cleansing and detoxifying for your skin.

Epsom Salt – This salt is named for a bitter saline spring at Epsom in Surrey, England, and is not a salt at all but a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate. Studies have shown that magnesium and sulfate are absorbed easily through the skin, making it easy to absorb its amazing health benefits. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation. Sulfates help with the absorption of nutrients and flush toxins.

French Grey Sea Salt – This salt is formed as the seawater flows into the Guerande marshes, in France, during high tides. As the water settles into a settling pond, evaporating and leaving behind a crystallized salt. It is then hand-harvested by salt workers, using skills and methods that are over a thousand years old. This salt is high mineral content that includes magnesium and many other trace minerals. Soaking with Grey Sea Salts helps to re-mineralize the body, maintain balance and promote healthy skin.

Bentonite Clay - Bentonite comes from naturally occurring volcanic ash sediments here in the U.S. This clay has been used to help in mineral deficiencies, and to bind toxins (detoxify) whether from the skin or internally. Bentonite Clay is also one of the most effective and powerful healing clays.

Vitamin E - Vitamin E oil protects the skin against cell mutation in the sun and pollution. It's also an anti-inflammatory, so it calms and hydrates sensitive skin.
