Stress is a normal part of living in today's world. Whether your stress comes from your job, your commute, caring for your family or all of the above, your body's reaction to prolonged stress can lead to long-term health problems. So it is very important for your health and well being to help your body reduce its physical and emotional reaction to stress. Research has shown that a bit of quiet time spent soaking in a warm bath enhanced by Dead Sea salts and relaxing essential oils such as lavender will ease tension and reduce the effects of stress.
What does stress do to a women's body?
Women are especially vulnerable to the negative effects of stress due to the constant hormonal changes in their bodies. Stress can lead to fatigue, irritability, and can bring on physical symptoms including headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and sleeping problems. Prolonged, unrelieved stress can also lead to anxiety and depression. The link between stress and heart disease is well-established. But did you know that stress has been also been found to damage the immune system and make you more susceptible to many auto-immune diseases such as arthritis and Alzheimer's?
How can lavender scented Dead Sea salt help reduce stress?
The salt derived from the Dead Sea contains at least 21 different minerals with therapeutic properties that improve the health and appearance of the skin. Just soaking in a bath that contains a cup of dissolved Dead Sea salt will be good for your body and spirit.
Lavender essential oil gives Dead Sea salt the added power of scent to enhance your relaxation experience. Research has shown that scent is our most potent sense in evoking emotional responses. The health benefits of lavender essential oil include its ability to remove nervous tension, relieve pain, disinfect scalp and skin, enhance blood circulation and treat respiratory problems.
Lavender can be grown almost anywhere in the world and there are many excellent manufacturers of lavender essential oil working in the United States. Although some women prefer the gentle fragrance of French lavender, all lavender essential oils are grown and produced in similar ways. The flowers are harvested in the summer and the essential oil is extracted from the flowers through distillation. The resulting oil is light yellow in color that mixes well with water or coating bath salts.
PS: To prepare your bath, dissolve 1 cup of essential oil enhanced salt like Scented Salt Lavender Fields in warm bath water and soak for 15 -20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. Your skin will feel clean and soft and your spirit relaxed and refreshed.
