WATER IS NATURE’S GREATEST
AND MOST EFFECTIVE
SOLVENT, CARRYING A VARIETY
OF MINERALS AND CHEMICALS
TO THE BODY
River Stone Bath Therapy :
Healing with Water
Balneotherapy is the art of water
therapy, and one of aromatherapy's
best friends. There is nothing quite so
soothing and relaxing as a leisurely soak
in a hot bath. As the warmth of the
water cradles your physical body,
providing relief from the constant pull of
gravity, your psyche is refreshed and
restored, the weight of the world
momentarily lifted. Add a few drops of
well-selected essential oils and you
approach nirvana! Water is nature's
greatest and most effective solvent. It
acts as a liquid suspension, carrying a
variety of minerals and chemicals,
depending on its source. When we
immerse our bodies in a warm bath, our
skin rapidly begins to absorb chemicals
that are suspended in the water. These
chemical components can make their
way to our bloodstream in as little as 2
to 15 minutes. It will take a normally
healthy person from half an hour to
three hours to eliminate most of these
chemicals through the expired breath
and urine. In unhealthy or obese
people, this process may take up to 10
hours. That is why adding essential oils
to a bath is such an effective
aromatherapy treatment.
The premise of balneotherapy is built
on this solvency. Just as we absorb the
essential oils we intentionally add to the
water, we absorb a variety of other
chemicals and minerals suspended in
our water. No two waters are exactly
the same. Spring waters, often thought
of as pure, actually contain a variety of
minerals. It is the presence of these
minerals, from the depths of the earth,
which makes certain spring waters
highly valued for their curative
properties.
The amazing virtues of water have been
sung throughout the ages. Ancient
myths featured countless sea nymphs,
mermaids, and water goddesses. It's no
wonder that most ancient gods and
goddesses associated with water were
believed to be sources of life, fertility,
and fecundity.
Water is our element. We most likely
evolved from aquatic creatures. In any
event, our first months of life were
spent floating in an amniotic bath. In
our dreams water symbolizes the ebb
and flow of our emotions. We use
water for cleansing, refreshing, and
relaxing. Water is the basis for our
body's evaporative cooling system. It
flushes out toxic wastes, plumps up our
cells, and lubricates our moving parts.
Water is crucial to our survival. Without
it we would literally dry up and blow
away!

MAGNESIUM SULPHATE
SALT BATHS
Magnesium sulphate - Epsom Salt is
easily absorbed through the skin in a
bath as it draws toxins from the body,
relaxes the muscles and reduces
inflammation and swelling to relieve
pain and muscle cramps. It calms the
nervous system, is a natural emollient,
exfoliator, and much more. Excess
adrenaline and stress are believed to
drain magnesium, a natural stress
reliever, from the body. Magnesium is
necessary for the body to bind
adequate amounts of serotonin, a
mood elevating chemical within the
brain that creates a feeling of well-
being and relaxation.
An epsom salt bath along with other
therapy baths, such as mineral, mud
and aromatherapy baths, are great to
relieve stress and to relax in, and they
have detoxification and healing
properties as well.
Epsom salts are made up of the
compound magnesium sulphate, which
was originally found and named in the
town Epsom, England. Magnesium
sulphate provides both magnesium
and sulphate to the body when you
soak in an Epsom salt bath. These are
both essential and important minerals
in the body and both are necessary for
the body to function properly. Neither
of these minerals are easy to absorb
through the digestive tract, but both
are easily absorbed through the skin.
An Epsom salt bath has been used as a
cure-all for centuries. It is known to
calm the nervous system and lower
stress, benefiting the endocrine
system. Epsom salt baths can be used
to soothe aches and pains in the body,
relax muscles, reduce inflammation,
prevent wrinkles, soften and soothe
the skin and also assist with
detoxification. Epsom salts in a bath
have been shown to pull toxins from
the cells of your body through reverse
osmosis, a process where salt is drawn
from your body bringing toxins out
along with it. The main benefits of
soaking in a bath with Epsom salts
come from the magnesium and
sulphate absorption.
