How does Mineral Salt Baths Help You Sleep?

As mineral salts like Epsom and Dead Sea Salt dissolve in warm bath water, magnesium is absorbed by the skin, helping to replenish magnesium levels in the body.

And magnesium, did you know, helps improve sleep by promoting feelings of calm and relaxation from the effect of serotonin.

A deficiency of magnesium actually causes lower serotonin levels! And is often recommended as a supplement for sleep disorders.

This all happens by adding mineral salts to your bath in addition to reducing irritability and relaxing muscles. That’s a win-win in my book!
