Magnesium Bath Salts Have Surprising Benefits

The treatment of disease by bathing, or balneotherapy, has long been studied by scientists especially in countries that are blessed by hot springs like Japan, Europe and the Middle East. Balneotherapy from the Latin: balneum "bath" is the study of the benefit from disease of hot water springs, thought to be connected to the presence of minerals such as magnesium in the water. This has also been considered in the application of Medicinal clays for health benefits, a practice known as 'fangotherapy'.

Traditional Medicine Extols the Mineral Bath

The traditional treatment of disease by immersing a subject in mineral water is an element of the traditional medicine of many cultures that live near hot or cold water springs and other mineral heavy waters like the Dead Sea. Balneotherapy can be practised at home with the addition of magnesium bath flakes to your bath and may be recommended for the temporary relief of a wide range of illnesses, including auto-immune diseases such as arthritis, eczema and fibromyalgia.

There are hot springs in many countries and on all continents of the world. Countries that are renowned for their hot springs include China, Costa Rica, Iceland, Iran, Japan, New Zealand, Peru, Taiwan, Turkey, and United States. The benefits of soaking in a hot mineral bath have been extolled by these nations for thousands of years. The hot springs at Noboribetsu, Hokkaido is a renowned public bathing spot that displays a poster stating that the waters could help "treat chronic digestive diseases, constipation, diabetes, gout, and liver complaints."

Magnesium Bath Crystals offer the Benefits of Hot Springs in your Home

The water found in natural hot springs contains a variety of different minerals, including magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride flakes can be added to your hot bath, or spa bath if you have one, for a beneficial effect in your own home and is the perfect wind-down after a heavy gym session, jogging or sport training. The addition of minerals such as magnesium crystals to a hot soak helps to soften the water and promote flotation allowing the suspension of your muscles for full relaxation. Relieving tension promotes overall health and well-being and a hot mineral bath can be as beneficial to your body as an hour of yoga.

The minerals in the water can also contribute to a deeper sleep. Your body temperature rises as you soak in warm water, promoted by the magnesium salts, then quickly cools down when your bath is complete. The process of body cooling has a relaxing effect and encourages the mind to relax as it falls into a deep slumber.
