Description
This bath salts recipe would make such a great DIY gift for the athlete in your life… Or maybe a fun make-and-take activity for your teen’s sports team! Any other ideas? You can find them in most drugstores, usually around the aspirin and laxatives. Many grocery and natural food stores also carry them. A large box costs just a few dollars. And that’s still not all. My absolute favorite thing about NOW is that they’re not interested in profiting from the 100-300% markup that’s typical in the health and beauty industry. Their products are of the highest quality, but are always priced lower, because they believe that’s what fair to their consumers. There isn't much of a difference between bath salts and bath soaks. According to cosmetic chemist Ginger King, the former has a salt-based formula (usually Epsom, Himalayan, or Dead Sea-derived), while the latter has another skin-pampering base of the brand's choosing. She says the most popular alternatives to salt are anti-inflammatory oats or clay for absorbing dirt and oil. Whichever you choose to add to your tub, King highlights that all of the formulas have some form of cleansing ingredient to rid your skin of lingering dirt and oil.
Some weeks the best deal is a national brand and others it’s the store brand. I don’t discriminate. But after spending 24 hours with NOW , I can tell you that I will definitely choose their brand whenever possible. Their commitment to not only their customers, but also to their employees (who ALL make a living wage and earn quarterly bonuses!), is almost unheard of these days. Your grandma could have the answer. Epsom salts have been used for hundreds of years to ease all kinds of aches, pains, and skin troubles. A simple soak in the tub may help you feel better. What Are They? Certain bath soaks — particularly those made with Epsom salt, Dead Sea salt, turmeric, or essential oils such as juniper, eucalyptus, and cypress — can help relieve joint and muscle pain by suppressing the expression of inflammatory mediators, health coach Erica Zellner tells Elite Daily. So when shopping for the best bath soaks for sore muscles, look for a product that contains one (or several) of those key ingredients. You can use bath salts to relieve dry and itchy skin, including itching caused by insect bites and poison ivy. To do this:
Soaking in this soothing combination of essential oils and other natural ingredients relaxes both your muscles and your mind. In fact, when I asked the CEO of NOW, Jim Emme, about whether a NOW brand collagen powder would be coming to market, he told me they’re still on the hunt for a source that’s consistently clean — and then went on to recommend this competitor brand as a good choice to use right now. Who does that? NOW Foods , that’s who. You can also target specific joints by using bath salts and ginger oil mixed with some warm water to make a paste that can be rubbed on the joint. In the shower Bathing in a magnesium-rich Dead Sea salt solution improves skin barrier function, enhances skin hydration, and reduces inflammation in atopic dry skin, by Ehrhardt Proksch, Hans-Peter Nissen, Markus Bremgartner, Colin Urquhart; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15689218/ A 2017 review of studies indicates that larger and more methodical studies on topical application of Epsom salt need to be done. One 2005 study found that magnesium salts can be effective for dry skin and for reducing inflammation. However, the study doesn’t include the number of study participants analyzed.

Magnesium absorption is another important benefit of Epsom salt detox baths. This may be beneficial to those with a deficiency, such as people with fibromyalgia.

Pour the Epsom salt into the running water to help it dissolve faster. Stirring the water with your hand will help dissolve any remaining grains. Elite Daily beauty editor (and nightly bath-taker) Adeline Duff likes Pursoma’s bath soaks, which come in several highly specific versions designed to target various needs (there’s an after-yoga bath soak, for example, and one that can help calm your mind before bedtime). She spoke to Pursoma founder Shannon Vaughn to find out her top recommendation for sore muscles; Vaughn recommends their Sweat it Out Body Bath Soak. She explains, “[It’s] perfect for anybody who has been exercising and experiencing tightness or tension. We wanted it to be very warming, which is why we created a sinus-soothing citrus aromatherapy blend that features ginger and blood orange. This bath soak will help to soothe your body, recover from the day's stress, promote deep sleep, and wake up energized and balanced."

They're not the same as Dead Sea salts, a blend of minerals found only in the Dead Sea in the Middle East. The water and light there supposedly help with skin diseases, arthritis, and other health problems.Though both experts stress that there isn’t much in the way of evidence to support any specific bath soak’s benefits, Zellner says she regularly recommends that her patients soak in Epsom salts. “It’s a very low-risk and low-cost intervention,” she explains. “Advocates of Epsom salt baths say that the benefit really comes from the magnesium in Epsom salts increasing the amount of magnesium in our bodies. Magnesium plays a role in over 400 processes in our body, including facilitating proper muscle function and relaxation.” I adore this quote from Elwood Richard, NOW’s former CEO: “You shouldn’t ask why we’re so affordable; you should ask why everyone else is more expensive.” Let that sink in for just a moment… Despite the name, Epsom salts aren't like the stuff you put on your fries. They're called salts because of their chemical structure. The "Epsom" part is a place in England where they're found in natural springs.
