Craving a good night’s sleep or suffering from skin ailments? Pulled muscles or achy joints?

Soaking in warm, mineral-rich waters, has been used throughout history to treat a myriad of skin and health issues. The list of the therapeutic effects of Thalassotherapy is long indeed. It's right at the top of my list of favorite nourishing skin care traditions and always has been! I love soaking - time to quiet my mind really does help me cope with the challenges I face in the world and helps me sleep more soundly).

Getting solid, restorative, uninterrupted sleep is at the very root of good health. But many of us fall short of this goal. Soaking in warm salt water, rich in magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salts), is proven to improve sleep quality. Don’t let another night of tossing and turning slowly rob you of the good health you deserve. If you suffer from poor sleep please make the time to soak for 20 minutes before bedtime.

Plant Power: I include flowers and leaves I grow, and those I collect in the forest surrounding my mountain home, for their proven healing power. I collect and dry them whole, then later I powder and crush them when I make the batch, thereby offering the most skin benefits and natural aroma. I’m now adding plant and fruit powders for extra color listed below.

Dairy Powders: milk, yogurt, buttermilk. Dairy imparts soothing fats, phospholipids, vitamins and minerals which condition the skin, helping it stay soft and silky smooth. Dairy has been used to beautify the skin since the time of pharaohs. Cleopatra's great beauty is attributed to her habit of soaking in a tub filled with warm, fresh milk. Short of that luxury, I now include dairy powders to enhance the skin soothing, healing, and beautifying properties of your bath water.

Phospholipids are a crucial component in keeping the skin hydrated. A type of lipid molecule comprised of fatty acids, a primary component of cell membranes naturally present in our skin. Acting as an emollient in my soaking solutions, dairy phospholipids attract and absorb water, creating a barrier on the surface of the skin, sealing in moisture, hydrating and helping repair damage, and improving skin texture and tone.
