Benefits of taking a salt bath for women

In recent years, a shower therapy - salt bath - has been very popular in various countries around the world. It is a shower with salt water, which can not only make the body's originally rough skin become delicate and smooth, but also lose weight, and prevent arthritis, rheumatism and various skin diseases.

Why can a salt water shower make your skin delicate and smooth?

This is because human skin bears the role of body sewage sludge treatment, and the skin is also the outermost protective barrier of the body. External dust and harmful microorganisms adhere to the skin and mix with the oil and waste discharged through the skin. It is impossible to completely clean it with ordinary warm water and soap. The sodium chloride molecules in salt can soften the water hardness and have a strong adsorption capacity for oil ions, so it has a strong decontamination effect. On the other hand, the high permeability of salt depletes the survival basis of harmful microbial species.

In addition, salt baths also have the effect of balancing skin electrolytes, tightening the skin, and improving skin elasticity and glossiness. Foreign research shows that salt water baths can not only remove bacteria and dirt, soothe dry skin, and beautify the skin, but also have the effects of losing weight, preventing diseases, and relieving fatigue.

Using table salt or existing bath salt containing a variety of minerals and nutrients instead is also a good way: put 5 to 6 spoons of salt in a bathtub filled with 3/4 tank of boiling water (about 40℃), stir the salt water vigorously to make bath water with a salt content of 0.85% to 1%, and then use your hands to stir the water from head to toe in the bath, and keep the bathing time at about 15 minutes. If you want to increase the romantic atmosphere, you can also add a small amount of essential oil to the bath water and sprinkle some flowers. The skin also feels comfortable and refreshed after bathing. A salt water bath 2 to 3 times a week in summer and 1 to 2 times a week in winter is sufficient.
