Making "Scents of the World" Bath Salts
|
Galenus was a prominent Greek physician and medical writer of antiquity
who is known as the father of modern physiology. Living and teaching in
the second century A.D, his writings are still studied in modern medical
schools all over the world. One of his writings stated that bathing in
high mineral content salt water was "good for the treatment of
Arthritis, Eczema, Muscular Pain, Rheumatism, Psoriasis, and also to
Relieve Tension, Aid Relaxation, and develop Smooth Silky Skin".
According to the book of Samuel, King Solomon presented the
Queen of Sheba with Dead Sea Salts upon her visit to the Holy
Land. Cleopatra also was an ardent user of Dead Sea beauty
formulations So we make our Bath Salts according to what we
believe to be a recipe that might resemble hers. So whether you
use our Bath Salts or our Milk Bath you will know that you are
sharing in an age old skin beautifying experience.
Our bath salts are made with salts
that come from seas all over the
world. They contain various
combinations of mineral rich salts
from the Dead Sea, the Celtic Sea,
the Mediterranean Sea, and other sea salts from around the world. Each
of these salts has specific properties. Some of these salts are known for
their detoxifying power, some are known for their ability to revivify;
some for getting rid of itchiness. We have mixed them together to form
our own blend that we think is the most beneficial.
Naturally, all our bath salt mixes also contain Epsom salts with their high
mineral content that turn your bathtub into a naturally fizzing hot spring.
We could have made bath salts without fizz but weren't sure that you
would like them that way. Of course, if you do want some without Epsom
salts, we will make them for you (always provided you want a certain
minimum amount of course).Because of the variety of salts used, you may
notice a variation in the size of the crystals in our bath salts. Indeed,
that is only normal. Adding our special mix of salts to your bath is an
excellent way of combatting stress and helping relieve your muscular aches
and pains.
We are particularly proud of our bath salt crystals that we call "Making
Scents of the World". Our spa quality collection of bath salts uses
rare essential oils known for having special aromatherapeutic properties.
Although we are not aromatherapists, we have tried to apply tried and
true aromatherapy principles to our products by choosing the essential oils
we use with great care. For now,this is a limited collection. The names of
some of these oils may seem very ordinary to you and not at all exotic.
The particular oils we use, however, are imported from the countries best
suited to growing these botanicals and are of the very finest and rarest
quality. That is why there are only five offerings available now in this
particular spa collection: Patchouli from Indonesia, soothing for the body,
expanding for the mind, captivating for the spirit; Grapefruit from
Israel, refreshing for the body, opening for the mind, cheering for the
spirit; Vanilla from Brazil, purifying for the body, energising for the mind,
freeing for the spirit; Lavender from Provence and Ukraine, nurturing
for the body, balancing for the mind and harmonising for the spirit; and
Lily of the Valley, our signature scent, from the woods around
Jerusalem in Israel and the Château of Fontainebleau in France,
strengthening for the body, memory improving for the mind, and promoting
inner peace for the spirit.
A note of caution: Please be extra careful when entering or exiting your
bathtub as the oils used may make it very slippery!
Our price: $ 8.00 per jar
Sea Salts are said to have amazing skin healing properties. They contain
magnesium which is known for accelerating cell metabolism and aiding in the
skin’s healing process; some studies indicate that psoriasis sufferers show
a shortage of magnesium and that adding it to their bath water can help
them. Sea Salts have been used for centuries to treat skin conditions such
as eczema and psoriasis, reduce the pain and inflammation of arthritis and
rheumatism, and generally aid in relaxation. They also contribute to
detoxification of the skin. Pure sea salt combined with organic and essential
oils help exfoliate the outer layer of skin. Pores are cleansed and the skin
is ready for absorption of the emollient oils and other nutrients.
Although we do not pre-make gift baskets, there has been such a demand for a bath salts and matching soap set that we do make some of these. Usually we have some on hand for that last minute gift or because you want it for yourself. Of course we have some at our shows too! The soap in these arrangements is scented with the same oils as the bath salts. That makes them a little bit different from our regular soap recipes. Bath Salts & Soap Set
Price per set: $12.00
