The Benefits Of Hot Springs And Mineral Baths

Posted by on

In Japan, soaking in natural hot springs has always been a treasured pastime that continued for thousands of years. In fact, several Japanese children grow up with visits to the bathhouse being a mandatory and frequent practice that allows them to improve their health and achieve relaxation. But are there any real benefits to hot springs and mineral baths?

The Surprising Health Benefits of Hot Springs and Mineral Baths,” an article by Stephanie Lee, explains the unexpected ways that both hot springs and mineral baths can improve our health.

Lee doesn’t just explain the many benefits of enjoying the Japanese hot springs and mineral baths but also discusses the scientific research done to prove each of those benefits as well as the folklore that has kept this Japanese practice alive for so many years.

How Does This Benefit You?

Not all of us have the time and money to travel to Japan just to enjoy hot springs, and you certainly can't do it frequently enough to benefit from it throughout the year. So what does this article have to do with you and your needs?

As nice as hot springs are, you don’t need to get to where they are to enjoy the benefits—you can do that right in your own bathtub. Bath salts are a wonderful way to bring the benefits of Japanese mineral baths to your home and create your own perfect spa experience.

How Do You Use Tranquility Bath Salts?

Bath salts are a crystalline substance that is easily dissolvable in bath water to perfume the water as well as add beneficial minerals to it. There are several kinds of bath salts, including epsom salt, Mediterranean sea salt, and Himalayan salt, that can be used to improve your bath time experience. Each type has its own unique qualities, so you should opt for the one that is best for your needs.

Once you have found the right bath salt, fill your bathtub at least halfway with warm water. Then, take a cup or two of the salt and mix it with the bath water. Once they have been combined well, you can get in and soak up all the benefits.

To have an even more amazing experience, use our epsom salt blends that are enhanced with essential oils. No matter which one you choose, be it the Deep Relaxation Bath Soak or the Chakras Bath Soak, you'll end up feeling fresh and extra-clean all day long.

This is also great if you are fighting a cold. This combo helps you sweat out the toxins. I use this once a week in the winter to keep my immune system on point!
