Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, yet many people lack proper magnesium levels. Low levels of magnesium are associated with fatigue, anxiety, and depression. In water, epsom salts break down into magnesium and sulfate. Different varieties of bath salts - epsom salts, dead sea salt, and more - contain magnesium and when added with warm water in a bath your body can absorb the mineral.

Bath salt soaks are a tried and true recovery practice for anyone from world class athletes to people who rolled an ankle. Spending time in a warm/hot bath is proven to help soothe sore or aching muscles and reduce inflammation.

In todays always connected state - people have found it harder and harder to disconnect. Baths can serve as “mini-vacations” in your own home that allow you to disconnect from everything - work, family, etc - for a brief period of time and reset. 

Adequate magnesium levels are essential for sleep and stress management, likely because magnesium helps your brain produce neurotransmitters that induce sleep and reduce stress. On top of that - relaxing in a hot bath at the end of the day is a great way to get your body to relax and unwind as you prepare to go to sleep. All these factors combined - your body will be primed for a quality, deep sleep after a bath.
