Therapeutic Bath Salt with Rose Blossoms in a Gauze Pouch

A body-warm bath in a salt solution has a stimulating effect on the circulatory system in the skin and, as a consequence, via the skin, also has an effect on the metabolism. For many years, the relaxing effects of brine baths have been approved by numerous spa guests of Bad Ischl.

For a therapeutic tub bath (80-100 L) you need at least one kilogram of salt or four litres of brine. The temperature should not rise above 37° C and the duration should be 15 – 20 minutes. Afterwards, a rest phase is recommended.

You can increase the beneficial effect by not washing of the brine and just allowing it to dry upon your skin. During the usage of brine baths or of other saltwater applications neither bath oils nor soaps should be added.
