Why Salt Showers are the New Salt Baths
When it comes to health and beauty rituals, bathing in salt is about as ancient as it gets. Going back to biblical times and beyond, the Dead Sea (the most saline body of water on earth) has been known for its healing properties. Epsom salt baths are specifically recommended by the medical community due to evidence that they indeed relax the body and soothe the skin.
Understand that Epsom salt and the kind of salt that comes on potato chips are not one and the same. The kind of salt most often recommended for bathing and showering is made up of magnesium sulfate—a chemical compound made up of magnesium and sulfur. Salt bathing can also be done with sea salt, himalayan salt, organic bath salt, and many other types that contain wonderful minerals.
The benefits of bathing in salt are numerous: salt has been known to relax aching muscles, soothe arthritic joints, promote relaxation and better sleep, help treat sunburns and other irritations, treat athlete’s foot, ease the pain of tennis elbow, and so much more.
Many of us are familiar with salt baths, so why shower with salt?
Accessibility
It’s important to note that not everyone has a bathtub. Many modern apartments only come with showers, and even older homes don’t always include a bath. We believe everyone should be able to enjoy the advantages of salt bathing whether they have access to a bath or not. Magneflow works by attaching to any shower bar, and it efficiently diffuses the salt product onto your body and/or hair.
Portability
Some people shower every day at the gym. Some people travel for work so often that hotel rooms start to feel like home to them. Wherever you may find yourself, salt showering by using Mageflow gives us a chance to soothe tired muscles and treat skin issues no matter where we are.
Efficiency
Many of us don’t have the time to soak in a salt bath every day. While a leisurely bath may not be a daily practice, that shouldn’t stop anyone from indulging in something beneficial on the regular. A daily salt shower can certainly add some pep to your step without wasting time.
Along with eating nutritiously, staying hydrated with filtered water, and getting exercise, salt showering is something that’s easy to incorporate into a daily routine. With Magneflow, the salt is actually more concentrated compared to a bath experience. One full cup of salt can be diffused in under one and a half minutes. For those that crave variety, it’s easy to add your favorite essential oils such as lavender or eucalyptus to the salt. If the wellbeing of your actual, physical shower is a concern, fear not, as salt can be good for tiles! That’s right, salt fights mold.
We created Magneflow as a way to give the masses access to the myriad benefits that salts provide without the need for a tub. Salt showering is quick, easy, and convenient for anyone who has a shower!
