“Which grain size should I choose?” This is a question that is often asked, so to help you decide what's the best choice for you be sure to read this article.

 

Is there a price difference depending on grain size?  Generally, no.  Pricing is almost always the same no matter which grain size is selected.  The only exception to this is if there is a sale or special running on a specific salt and grain size.

I want to make my own salt scrub, which grain size should I use?  The fine grain (or extra fine if available) is best for scrubs.  This way you’ll create an exfoliating scrub but not one that is too abrasive for the skin.

Does the coarse grain contain a higher mineral content?  This is a common misconception as no matter what grain size you choose it will still have the same variety of minerals.  It originates from the same source and has the same quality as the coarse grain. The only difference would be that the finer grain sizes have been grinded smaller.

If I want to soak in a regular bath tub with salts which grain size should I use?  Any grain size is suitable for this so it’s really all a matter of preference of how quickly you want the grains to dissolve.  Fine grain is always going to dissolve faster.

I want to use the Himalayan Salt as a gourmet food salt.  Which size is best for this?  Our Himalayan Salts can be used for consumption.  The extra fine is a popular choice because it can go right in a salt shaker.  Any grain size that is larger would need to be put in a salt mill or grinder if it is to be sprinkled directly onto food.

Please check out this short video clip as CNN senior medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, explores the healing benefits of bathing with mineral rich Dead Sea Salts.  This segment includes a true testimonial from a psoriasis patient who has been bathing regularly with salts from the Dead Sea to treat his skin condition, with great results.  The film includes incredible photos that were taken before and after he began this completely natural bathing routine.

Why choose Dead Sea Bath Salts?
Dead Sea Salts carry many benefits, particularly when used as bath salts. Dead Sea Salts effectively treat many skin conditions, from eczema and psoriasis to everyday conditions such as oily or dry skin. Dead Sea salts are also known to soothe rashes, calm allergic reactions, minimize dandruff and treat acne. Dead Sea salts have been known to improve the appearance of cellulite, manage the appearance of swelling due to water retention, and even treat hair loss. In addition, Dead Sea salts detoxify your skin, drawing out dirt, pollutants and impurities from each pore.

                                            

As many people can, I’ve been able to train myself to wake up on my own without the use of a blaring alarm clock- but not lately.  Since I’ve been taking baths regularly, (I try to make it a point to take a bath at the end of the day at least 3 times a week) my internal alarm clock can no longer be depended upon!

Bathing in the evenings has truly improved my quality of sleep.  I’ll fall into a deep sleep seconds from hitting the pillow and often I won’t wake up once during the night.  The only problem is that a couple times I’ve been in such a deep sleep that I’ve overslept right through my usual morning routine.

So, a fair warning…if you take a relaxing evening soak, you may want to set that alarm.  If not, you may find yourself having to rush around in the morning and being late for work!

In the chaos of today’s busy lifestyles we often become prone to cold and flu viruses that can leave us fatigued and uncomfortable. With the demands of our careers and families we don’t always have the luxury of taking a sick day to nurture our aching and exhausting symptoms. Often when it comes down to either going to work in a bit of misery or using up one of our treasured vacation days, we usually opt to drag ourselves out of bed and head to work.

 

A perfect way for those with a demanding schedule to combat the cold or flu virus is to pamper one's tired body with a Cold and Flu Bath Soak at the end of the day.
