🛁 Soothe Those Aches: Why Salt Baths Are a Post-Workout Game-Changer
January often marks a fresh start — new routines, renewed motivation, and yes, that ambitious fitness kick! Whether you’re dusting off your gym kit or discovering a new favourite workout, there’s one thing many of us can agree on: those first few sessions leave you aching in places you didn’t know existed.
But don’t worry — your recovery doesn’t need to involve expensive treatments or gadgets. Sometimes, a simple salt bath soak is exactly what your body craves.
💪 Why a Salt Soak After Exercise?
A warm bath is already a comfort, but adding bath salts takes things to the next level. Here's why:
-
Muscle relief – Salt soaks are believed to help ease muscle tension and post-exercise soreness, helping you bounce back quicker.
-
Relaxation & stress relief – The warm water works with the salts to promote relaxation — ideal after a high-energy workout or a long day.
-
Boosted circulation – Soaking in mineral-rich water is thought to encourage healthy circulation, perfect for tired limbs.
-
Soften skin – As a lovely bonus, salts gently exfoliate and leave your skin feeling silky smooth.
🧂 What’s the difference between the salts?
At The Aroma Pixies, we use three natural salt types, each with their own benefits:
🩵 Epsom Salt – Popular for muscle recovery, it’s rich in magnesium and commonly used by athletes.
🌸 Himalayan Salt – Pink and pretty, it’s full of trace minerals and often chosen for its soothing and detox-like properties.
🌊 Dead Sea Salt – Harvested from the Dead Sea, it’s mineral-rich and known to support skin health and relaxation.
You can find each of these salts on their own or scented with our unique fragrance blends in our Bath Salts collection here
