Question

How long should I stay and soak in the sea when I go to the beach?

Community Answer

As long as you want. If the water if cold, it's not a good idea to stay in very long, but aside from that, there are no set "recommendations" for soaking or swimming time.

Question

Can we put baking soda in our bath?

Community Answer

Yes, but keep in mind that baking soda baths and sea salt baths are different. Baking soda baths are primarily used to treat skin concerns, while sea salt relaxes muscles and relieves tension. Baking soda baths help relieve eczema, poison ivy or oak, yeast infections and more. Please research it to make sure you do not have any health concerns which could counteract with the baking soda, leading to negative effects. It is recommended to rinse with cold water after your bath.

Because, when storing bath mixtures that contain baking soda and sea salt, there is a chance of buildup that may cause it to explode if sealed in a glass jar.

Question

Can bathing with sea salt heal psoriasis?

Community Answer

It actually might make it worse. The best thing you can do for psoriasis is to use a cream solution recommended by a doctor or a generic lotion from the drugstore. They are usually pretty inexpensive. You could also use a soothing bath bomb with chamomile or lavender extracts.

Question

What is the difference between using sea salt and Epsom salt?

Community Answer

Epsom salt is made with magnesium and is the only kind of salt one should use if they have high blood pressure or a heart condition (unless your health care professional tells you otherwise). Epsom salt is a great way to get some magnesium into your body. Sea salt is mostly sodium chloride with differing amounts of other minerals, depending on the brand, but is always mostly NaCl. You do absorb either magnesium OR NaCl (with trace amounts of other minerals if sea salt) when taking an Epsom or sea salt bath.
