Natural Salts and Your Bath
Natural salts provide your body with required trace minerals. Ingesting the natural salt brine gives your body the power to nourish the cells with the minerals, supplying the electrolytes that they need to function correctly.
All of your nerve impulses and all your cellular function is powered by electrolytic exchanges. One of them is called sodium-potassium pump, which involves sodium on the outside and potassium on the inside of the cell. That is the mechanism that moves nutrients in and toxins out of your cells.
The other major nutrient pair I mentioned in the past, magnesium and calcium, controls the autonomic nervous system, the major switching system between high stress fight-flight vs relaxation, digestion and rebuilding.
Minerals are needed and sodium is important. Salt deficiency is very common, especially in people who eat meat. When a baby is in the womb, the amniotic fluid it floats in has the same salinity as your tears, 0.9% solution of salt in water. If we would like to create a similar environment that is calming physically and emotionally, one that will help draw toxins out, we need to create the 0.9% solution. That means a kilo of salt in a 25 gallon bathtub. We have to be “brave” and use the whole $20 box of salt on a single bath.
Take the entire kilo, 2.2 pounds, of the salt and throw it in the tub and dissolve it. Spend half an hour in the hot water. When you do that, you are getting the full benefit.
