This was a very interesting and helpful article! It was nice to take a break from politics. It was nice to read something is actually good for you! After reading an article yesterday about how bad water is for you I was thinking...dang not only is bread out...now water too! Lastly it was nice to read something that's good for you that's doable and not hundreds of dollars! Going to a more homeopathic doctor now and one of his first 2 recommendations was after you're done in bath or shower rinse with cold water. Second was like one commented the breathing exercise. Place left hand out palm up. Place right hand over left palm up. Cross thumbs. Bring up to heart and breathe in and breathe out. It's also a good time to pray. 🥰 I will be sharing this article with friends.

Thank you for the explanation of how bath bombs effect and benefit your body. In the early 2000s, making your own bath bombs was quite popular, they sold "kits" containing the large amounts of baking soda and citric acid plus whatever essential oil you wanted. I just thought bath bombs were fun and smelled good! My daughter and I had a lot of fun making them. I need to start doing that again!

I've heard that Arm & Hammer brand isn't the best baking soda to use because it is chemically created rather than naturally mined like Bob's Red Mill ($$$). Apparently, this has been controversial for quite a while. I don't know the correct answer.

Side note - I've been bathing in borax (20 Mule Team) and Epsom salts for several years, mainly for the detox effects and magnesium and boron absorption through my skin. It's helped a lot with overall pain, too. Occassionally, I'll take a bath with MMS (chlorine dioxide - despite the name, it's not "bleach") and DMSO. 😍

I did Buteyko's course on correct breathing years ago as it was being promoted for sleep apnea.

I add lithium chloride to my bath. Lithium waters have been sought for thousands of years for their calming and healing effects.

Great info. I just wanted to suggest to anyone who can get to natural hot springs that Valley View Hot Springs in Colorado is a fantastic place to rejuvenate. It’s near Buena Vista. We’ve been able to visit yearly for the past five years. Late spring is the best time to go but we’ve gone after skiing with snow on the ground and it was still great.

I used to go there nearly every weekend when I attended massage school in Crestone. Absolutely one of the best hot springs experiences I have ever had. Unfortunately, I haven't been back since 1995. I'm jealous.

You can make your own. It's not difficult.
