Our bodies rely on water inside and out to function properly. A dehydrated body feels tired and muscles ache…I personally refer to this feeling as being ‘creaky’. When I want to relax, loosen up, and unwind, I mix a cocktail for My Body.
A body cocktail hydrates on the outside. Your body will sip and absorb when you soak in a warm bath or mineral pool, apply wet towel compresses, or take contrast baths.
Try this soothing technique at home…
Pour warm water into a bath, after filling your tub…Shake 1-2 cups of Epsom salts into the water…Stir…then soak for at least 15 minutes. The warm water and minerals in the Epsom salts relieves muscle tension and improves sleep.
Be Well. ~Tiffany Anderson, LMT, RMT, BS, CHES
