Try this bath salt recipe for a romantic soak with your special someone.

1 Cup Sherpa Pink Himalayan Salt Fine Grain
1 Cup Sodium Sesquicarbonate (to soften the bath water)
6 drops Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
2 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
1 handful fresh rose petals

In a medium size bowl blend the sodium sesquicarbonate evenly into the Himalayan Salts.  Then, mix in the essential oils drops to create the aromas of an aphrodisiac bath.

Draw a medium-hot bath and add the entire salt blend. Sprinkle the fresh rose petals along the top of the water. Don’t forget to set the mood with relaxing music and a few candles.  Keep the bathroom door closed to lock in the steam and the aroma.

Floatation Tanks, also known as Isolation Tanks were created by John C. Lilly in the 1950s. These tanks are used for a variety of reasons including meditation, relaxation and natural healing.  How it works- A person will lie inside the tank while floating in salt water.  Subjects are completely isolated and undistracted from the rest of the world as the tanks are soundproof and completely dark.

 
Most tanks require about 800 lbs of Epsom Salt to allow subjects to be buoyant.  The Epsom salt also benefits those floating in the tank by detoxing the body and relieving muscle aches and pains.  

San Francisco Bath Salt Company has large quantities of Epsom Salt for floatation tanks readily available, so whether you’re an individual with a floatation tank at home or have your own floatation tank business, we can help.

We only sell the highest grade pure Magnesium-Sulfate Epsom Salts. To find out more about Epsom Salt and its many benefits and uses, read our article:  Epsoak – Premium Epsom Salt

Contact us to get the best possible shipping rate for high volume orders to your area.

Thank you for reading our blog on Epsom Salt for Floatation Tanks.

Are bath salts safe for Jacuzzi’s and Hot Tubs?  This question comes up often and the short answer is yes, however, we do have a few recommendations on how to choose the best salts that won’t interfere with the mechanisms of the spa as well as a few other helpful hints to assist you in getting the best results possible.

 

Selecting the type of salt:

Choosing the right type of salt is very important. We only suggest using salts that will dissolve completely in the water. Some salts which are highly mineralized will leave particles behind that will not dissolve completely. Bearing in mind the safety of the mechanics of the hot tub as well as the fact that water in these systems is not as frequently changed, we recommend the following salts in Fine Grain.

Minera Dead Sea Salt
Epsoak Epsom Salt
Calspa Pacific Sea Salt

Scents & Colors:

Many of our customers do use scented and/or colored salts in their Jacuzzi’s though our recommendation would to be to use one of the regular, raw salts listed above.  If you do choose to use color and scent it’s best to clean the hot tub and change the water often to prevent a build-up of over colored and over fragranced water.

Herbs:

We offer Dead Sea Salt and Pacific Sea Salt with mixed-in dried herbs.  We suggest using these particular salts exclusively in your bath tub and rather than in your Jacuzzi.

*Since all Jacuzzi’s, hot tubs, whirlpools, etc. are built differently, we strongly recommend checking with the supplier of your spa prior to using bath salts. 

For more frequently asked questions, visit our FAQ page.
