The cleansing effects of a half hour solè bath are equal to a 3 day fast. Toxins are released into the water, while minerals are absorbed through the skin. Solè baths reduce acidity and balance the ph of the skin, are great for all skin types, and can be very hydrating. During the bath, salt is stored in the upper layer of the skin and binds water, keeping this major organ of the body well hydrated, while also maintaining the natural, protective layer of the skin. Bioenergetic deficits are rebalanced and weak links become strengthened, reactivating our body’s electric current. The temperature and makeup of this bath is comparable to the amniotic fluid in which our bodies were formed.
Pour a little more than 2 lbs of Himalayan crystal salt into an average sized tub, add just enough hot water to cover the salt. Wait 30 min. for the salt to dissolve, then fill the tub with water that is at the approximate temperature of the body. Enjoy the bath for 15 - 30 min, without using oils or soaps. Towel off without rinsing the skin. Rest for 30 min. after the bath to allow integration and rebuilding. (Solè baths have a positive effect on numerous ailments. They are, however, demanding on the circulatory system. If you suffer from weak or poor heart circulation, consult your doctor before hand. Foot baths might be a better choice.)
