Royal Treatment Bath Salts (16oz)
The “Royal Treatment”
If perimenopause has you feeling like a stranger in your own body, it might be time to channel your inner ancient queen.
“They” talk a lot about hormone replacement, but have you tapped into the power of Frankincense? Known as the King of Oils, this resin isn't just for history books, it’s a powerhouse for navigating the change before the change!
Here is why Frankincense is a perimenopause essential:
The Ultimate Mood Grounder
Perimenopause often brings phantom anxiety or sudden irritability. Frankincense contains terpenes that help calm the nervous system. A quick inhale can help shift you from “about to snap” to centered, in seconds.
Better ZZZs
If the 3:00 AM wake-up calls are becoming a habit, Frankincense can help. It supports deep, restful breathing and helps quiet the mental chatter that keeps you tossing and turning.
Skin Support
As estrogen drops, our skin can lose its bounce and get a bit moody. Frankincense is famous for its rejuvenating properties. It’s perfect for supporting elasticity and that healthy glow we all want to keep.
Managing the Heat
While it won't stop a hot flash in its tracks like an ice pack, its ability to support the endocrine system makes it a great daily ally for overall hormonal balance and inflammatory support.
Using bath salts is one of the simplest ways to upgrade a standard bath into a therapeutic ritual. Whether you are looking to soothe sore muscles, soften your skin, or just decompress, here is how to get the most out of them.
1. Preparation
For the best experience, you’ll want the water temperature to be warm, but not scalding—aim for around 37°C to 39°C. If the water is too hot, it can actually be draining rather than relaxing and may cause your skin to dry out.
2. The Pour
Wait until the tub is about halfway full before adding your salts.
• Standard relaxation: Use about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of salts.
• Therapeutic/Muscle recovery: Use up to 2 cups of Epsom-based salts.
• Method: Pour the salts directly under the running faucet. The force of the water will help them dissolve quickly and distribute any essential oils or minerals throughout the tub.
3. The Soak
To allow the minerals (like magnesium) to be absorbed by your skin and to truly relax your muscles, you need time.
• Duration: Aim for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Post-Bath Care
• Moisturize: Salt can be slightly drying. Apply a rich body oil or lotion while your skin is still damp to lock in moisture.
• Hydrate: Bathing in salts can be detoxifying and may make you sweat. Drink a full glass of water after your soak.
Creative Ways to Use Bath Salts (Without a Tub)
If you aren't in the mood for a full soak, you can still use your salts:
• Foot Soak: Add 1/4 cup of salts to a large basin of warm water. It’s excellent for tired feet or softening calluses before a pedicure.
• Shower Scrub: Mix a small handful of bath salts with a little bit of body wash or carrier oil (like almond or coconut oil) to create a quick exfoliating scrub for your arms and legs
