Mineral baths have long been recognized by some cultures for their theraputic value. Practiced since ancient times by the Japanese, Greek, and many other cultures, bathing is not only relaxing for the mind and body but is also an excellent longevity treatment.

Relaxation is important for a person’s overall health, but even more important are the tangible health benefits of a mineral soak. Often forgotten, magnesium plays an essential part in the function of the human body. Magnesium is necessary for over 300 biochemical reactions that take place in the body, and plays a part in the health of your bones, heart, muscles, your immune and nervous systems, and many other essential functions.

It is an antidote to stress and the most powerful relaxation mineral.  – Mark Hyman, M.D.

Magnesium deficiency is rarely reported in the United States. Still, there is some question as to whether most people have enough magnesium stored in their body to experience the resulting health benefits, which may help prevent illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and immune dysfunction. So many minor symptoms are related to low magnesium levels that some physicians consider magnesium deficiency to be severely under-diagnosed.

An Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) soak will allow your body to absorb magnesium through your skin and help your body eliminate toxins. Sometimes referred to as the “third kidney,” your skin is your largest organ and shares the job of eliminating waste and detoxifying your body. By keeping your body’s magnesium store healthy and supplementing your kidneys’ detoxification efforts, regular mineral soaks will help you live a longer life. Just add about 2-3 cups of Epsom salt to a hot bath, get a good book, and relax!
