Ingredient List
Epsom Salt
We use the highest quality, pharmaceutical grade, high mineral content Epsom salt available. Epsom salt is vital in everybody’s health “tool box” because it has so many benefits.
Epsom salt is a compound of magnesium and sulfate and naturally occurring. It gets its name from the town of Epsom, England where the salt was supposedly discovered about 400 years ago.
Benefits: Integrative medical practitioners often recommend the physical and mental health benefits of using Epsom salt. In warm water, Epsom salt dissolves into magnesium and sulfate ions which are absorbed into your body through your skin.
Most Americans are low in magnesium, yet magnesium is vital in more than 325 bodily processes that benefit our heart and nervous systems.
These processes help to regulate muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, blood pressure and making protein, bone and DNA.
Stress and Sleep: Epsom salt can help stabilize mood swings and relieve stress, anxiety and depression. Some studies show magnesium increases our brain’s production of the neurotransmitters serotonin, the “happiness and relaxation” hormone and melatonin, a hormone that helps induce sleep..
Muscle Pain: An Epsom salt bath relaxes muscles and relieves pain in our legs, shoulders, neck, back, legs and skull. When the muscles surrounding our skull are relaxed, the pain form a headache or migraine can lessen. An Epsom salt bath also helps sore muscles recover, whether from exercise, age or inactivity.
Inflammation: Epsom salts are capable of improving blood circulation and keeping arteries elastic, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and improving our digestion. Some also think magnesium reduces inflammation in our internal organs.
Dead Sea Salt
We use Dead Sea salt that is 100% pure and sustainably harvested from the Southern Dead Sea in Israel where the mineral content is the highest. High mineral content is important to our bodies, and we source the purest Dead Sea Salt from a supplier that does not dilute their product with cheaper salts that don’t provide the benefit to our bodies.
Dead Sea Salt is great for our skin health, not only softening but assisting in the treatment of conditions such as psoriasis and rheumatological diseases with are inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that attack our organs, bones, muscles and joints.
Essential Oils
Did you know there are different grades of essential oils and their quality varies widely? Of course, we use only Grade A therapeutic quality essential oils made from organic plants and flowers, that are then distilled at the correct temperatures to preserve the integrity of the effective ingredients.
Sweet Almond Oil
Why do we use sweet almond oil in Beneficial Being bath salts? Because your skin easily absorbs sweet almond oil without clogging pores or leaving your skin too oily.
Made from sweet almonds, as opposed to bitter, our sweet almond oil is rich in vitamin E, antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids which helps your hair and skin and may even lower your risk of certain cancers, cardiovascular disease and heart disease. Sweet Almond Oil is yet another excellent source of magnesium.
There is a difference between sweet almond oil and regular (bitter) almond oil. Bitter almond oil is volatile and evaporates, which doesn’t work well as a bath salt ingredient. Our sweet almond oil is a fixed oil that does not evaporate.
