Salt Water Bath Benefits
Adding bath salts to your regular ol’ bucket of warm bath water can have a lot of advantages, and here are some benefits of salt water bath which I observed.

Since warm water already relaxes muscles and soothes pain, maybe adding salt will enhance its benefits? I was not disappointed.
2. The minerals in these salts enrich your skin
