INTERESTING RANTS & RAVES: All three of our Herbal Bath Powders are gentle enough to use as scrub on the body before entering the tub. It will gently exfoliate, while drawing toxins out of the skin. Perhaps the best idea is to enter the tub, get wet, allow a few minutes for your pores to open, then mix up about a tablespoon with a little water to make a paste. Stand up in the tub and massage the paste all over your body. You can continue to stand there for a few minutes if you like or plunge back in the tub and enjoy this relaxing botanical soup. Good Stuff!

GENERAL PRODUCT INTRODUCTION: Sensatia Botanicals Bath Powders feature pure, unrefined, organic sea salt from Bali's pristine, still-rugged east coast. Along these quiet white sand beaches the sun drenched sea water is channeled through the myriad of sea grasses into canal systems (made of tree trunks) for evaporation. The sun and wind evaporate the ocean water, leaving the mineral rich brine. This live mixture is briskly stimulated by the salt farmer until the salt crystals form. The sea salt is then gathered by hand with wooden tools and sun-dried a final time. This natural, ancient harvesting method preserves the minerals and vitality of this organic treasure.

Bathing in a sea salt bath is recommended for skin diseases, rheumatism, joint diseases, after operations, gynecological problems, and for children prone to infection to strengthen the immune system and detoxify the body. The bath should be close to body temperature and should be 20-30 minutes long. During this time the body reaches the same salt concentration (inside and outside) as that of a pre-natal state. Minerals penetrate the skin in the form of ions stimulating natural cell growth. Bio-energetic weak points will be balanced and the body's own energy flow will be re-activated. The detoxifying effect after a sea salt bath can be compared to a 3 day fast.

Further observations show that the best sea salt bath results have been at the changes of the moon. At full moon one can expect optimal assimilation and conversely at new moon one can expect optimal detoxification.

We also include baking soda to soothe and neutralize itchy skin, oatmeal to smooth and calm, French superfine clay to draw out toxins, & flowers & spices for their natural botanical benefits.

SPECIFIC TO THIS PRODUCT: Sensatia's Flowers & Herbs Bath Powder also contains a wonderfully relaxing combination of Lavender, Rosemary & Roman Chamomile essential oils. Lavender essential oil is an excellent all-purpose oil for skin care. Its effect is antibacterial, pain relieving, healing for wounds, deodorizing, antiseptic, fungicidal, rejuvenating, and anti-inflammatory. It is also effective for acne and oily hair as well as itchy and cracked skin. LavenderÌs fragrance has a calming and relaxing effect.

Rosemary essential oil aroma is woodsy, herb-like, and similar to lavender. The astringent and antiseptic properties of rosemary oil stimulate tissue circulation, the metabolism of the skin, and lymph flow. Rosemary oil plays an important role in stimulating cell renewal. It improves dry or mature skin, eases lines and wrinkles, and heals burns and wounds. It can also clear acne, blemishes or dull, dry skin by fighting bacteria and regulating oil secretions. It improves circulation and can reduce the appearance of broken capillaries and varicose veins. Rosemary oil is also helpful in treating cellulite.

Roman Chamomile's greatest benefits lay in its calming and relaxing abilities, especially on the nervous and digestive systems, the regulating and easing of the menstrual cycle, & the soothing & healing influence on the skin as well as a potent remedy for inflammatory conditions. This essential oil blend is remarkably relaxing and is considered an aphrodisiac.
