Nature’s Skin Balm was first made in Europe. During World War II when doctors and skin remedies of any kind were in short supply, the demand for Nature’s Skin Balm increased dramatically. This marked the origins of the current formulation of the balm. Local herbs were in plentiful supply and were used extensively to create balms similar to the current formulation.

After the war, the recipe was brought to North America and through the years the balm was improved by adding a few more important healing ingredients, resulting in an even more effective product for improving skin problem, providing healthy skin support.

Historically the use of salts in baths can be traced back as early as 2700 BC in China. Hippocrates encouraged his fellow healers to use Salt water to heal various ailments by getting their patients in sea water. Also the ancient Greeks used this form of bathing.

The Benefits of Bathing in Nature’s Skin Balm Bath Salts are many……….

SEA SALT Therapy, also know as Talassotherapy, assists in the rejuvenation of the cells, in the appearance of the skin and the relaxation of the body. This therapy also provides an antiseptic effect to the skin and reduces histamine that causes inflammation and itching sensation. Research shows a marked improvement on one’s immune system after being immersed in a sea salt bath therapy, and an increase in the natural human healing and defense power.

Sea Salt bath therapy works by activating the body’s own healing mechanisms, Our blood and circulatory systems provide a constant supply of nutrients and oxygen for maintenance as well as supporting our immune cells for defense and repair. Bath Salts open the pores to purify the skin, they aid in the healing of dry skin, making skin softer and more supple. Salts can help improve common irritations such as insect bites, rashes, as well as more serious and troublesome skin problems like eczema and psoriasis.

Nature’s Skin Balm Bath Salts uses BOKEK Pure Dead Sea Salts, which differs from regular sea salt in 2 important ways……it contains 10 times more minerals than ordinary sea salt and being VERY dry they absorb the essential oils that we add to them, with ease, which allows them to be released in the bath water quickly. This is wonderful for those wishing to receive relief from the itching of eczema, psoriasis and dry skin.

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, being a protective cover from the harmful effects of pollution, germs, weather extremes and the sun’s rays. Since this important organ does so many things that are necessarily to our survival we need to treat it well by providing good cleansing, replenishing fluids and avoiding harmful environments.

Skin disorders, such as dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, scabies, and dry cracked skin on the feet and elbows benefit from the minerals and nutrients that are found in Nature’s Skin Balm Bath Salts.

Dry Skin is also a common problem and as we age some of the physiological changes lead to dryness that causes itching and flaking. As we age our skin becomes more susceptible to irritation from contact with different materials, a problem called contact dermatitis.

Regular soaking with Nature’s Skin Balm Bath Salts and then applying Nature’s Skin Balm can also bring relief to these uncomfortable symptoms. This is in part due to the high mineral content in the Dead Sea Salt, which aids in both cleansing and replacing electrolytes necessary for healthy skin.

Psoriasis is a common skin problem that 3% of the world’s population has to deal with. The condition is unpleasant to look at and embarrassing for the one who has it. Psoriasis is hereditary and there is no known cure for it. But relief can be found by soaking in the dead sea salt mineral baths. Nature’s Skin Balm Bath salt’s which contain the Bokek dead sea salts offer a good home therapy by assisting in the elimination of toxins, regenerating new cells, and increasing circulation. Following with Nature’s Skin Balm, brings soothing relief to the itch and roughness of the psoriasis.

Using dead sea salt baths have been shown to drastically improve the skin for many psoriasis sufferers through strengthening of the skin as well as balancing the skin’s natural pH levels. It has been recognized by the international psoriasis community as an effective alternative treatment for irritation of psoriasis.

Atopic Dermatitis / Eczema: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin problem that has the following characteristics:

Sever itching, most of the visible skin changes are due to the constant scratching. It can begin in early infancy, when the sores are usually acute “weeping” and crusted. Later the skin will become thickened, this occurs especially in the folds of the elbows and knees, and possibly on the wrists, ankles and neck. Also the skin is extremely sensitive and reacts to many irritants.

Using the bath salts and following with Nature’s Skin Balm will generally bring relief and sooth the irritated skin. Regular use of Dead Sea Bath salts for eczema show clearing is usually good to excellent the dead sea bath salts can assist in the cleansing and detoxifying of the skin and body, helping to remove the impurities that are trapped, while restoring some of the depleted minerals.

Also included in Nature’s Skin Balm Bath Salts is Himalayan Pink Salts:

Himalayan Pink– bath salt is a pure, hand mined salt found naturally deep inside the pristine Himalayan Mountains. The high mineral crystals range in color from white to pink and deep red which indicates a beneficial amount of 84 trace elements and iron. This ancient era sea salt is known for it’s healing properties and is used by health professionals, spas and individuals who are interested in using natural products to bring relief to the body and relax the mind. For 1000’s of years, salts have been used as folk remedies for many health and skin problems. Increasing circulation and removing toxins such as heavy metals from the body are just a few of the many benefits of Himalayan Pink salt.

Ultra Epsom Salt is also included in Nature’s Skin Balm Bath Salts for these reasons:

Epsom salt, named for a bitter saline spring at Epsom in Surrey, England, is not really a salt but a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate. Long known as a natural remedy for a number of ailments, Epsom salt has many health benefits.

Studies have shown that magnesium and sulfate are both readily absorbed through the skin, making Epsom salt baths an easy and ideal way to enjoy the amazing health benefits. Magnesium plays a number of roles in the body including regulating the activity of over 300 enzymes, reducing inflammation, helping muscle and nerve function. The wonders of Epsom salt have been well known for hundreds of years and unlike other salts, Epsom salt has beneficial properties that can soothe the body, mind and soul. Some of the countless health benefits include relaxing the nervous system, curing skin problems, soothing back pain and aching limbs, easing muscle strain, healing cuts, and drawing toxins from the body.

6 Wonderful essential oils are included in Nature’s Skin Balm Bath Salt’s:

Lavender: The “universal oil”- antiseptic; relieves and heals skin irritations. Probably the most versatile oil, Lavender is an excellent oil for burns, muscular problems, anxiety and sleep disorders. This oil is also excellent for use on insect bites and many skin irritations.

Clary Sage: Relieves and heals most skin irritations; Euphoric; relaxing.

Geranium: The sweet aroma aids the body in achieving an overall feeling of peace and health, enhancing skin tone.

Vetiver: This essential oil has a wonderful effect on the mind and body and is a great boon for the skin. It is used to reduce wrinkles and stretch marks while nourishing and moisturizing the skin and helping wounds heal.

Chamomile: Valued for its natural antihistamine effect when dealing with hives. Contains anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, helpful for non-specific red rashes and mild antiseptic properties. Good for eczema and dry skin.

Lavandin: Although this essential oil is sometimes confused with its cousin, lavender, it really is a wonderful oil and helps you feel more relaxed, easing sore muscles and joints, relieving muscle stiffness, and is very effective for healing of skin sores and dermatitis.

USING NATURE’S SKIN BALM BATH SALTS:

The temperature of a healing bath should only be about 2 degrees warmer than the temperature of your body. Hot bath water causes the skin to eliminate rather than absorb minerals, thus negating the desired therapeutic effect.

Use anywhere from 1/4 to 1 cup of bath salts per bath, depending on the severity of the itching and irritation. It is better to start with less and add more gradually. Soak for at least 20 minutes.

PLEASE ensure that you drink plenty of water before, during and after the bath. This will prevent dehydration as well as assisting with the release of toxins.
