Hello! Salt baths for weight loss - one of the most popular ways of dealing with excess weight among the people. How and why this method helps and how to make it work even more efficiently - we will talk about this today.

What could be simpler - took a bath of water, poured sodium chloride into it and sit, lose weight. Even trips to beauty salons are not needed - everything can be done in at home . But why does excess weight disappear and what are the specific benefits of such spas?

About the benefits of water procedures

It is believed that they

  • help relieve fatigue and depression
  • strengthen immunity
  • treat hypertension, diseases of the cardiovascular system, joints, spine
  • reduce muscle pain, relieve muscle tension
  • improve blood circulation
  • improve skin condition, make it more elastic, strengthen nails
  • remove toxins and waste
  • contribute to the body's intake of beneficial nutrients and minerals
  • remove cellulite

In our case, we are most interested in the last three points. So Why does the body detoxify?

Here the principle very simple. Plunging into warm water, we warm up our body, the pores expand, cleanse, the blood flow in the subcutaneous tissue increases, and toxins and waste products begin to be thrown out of the body.

At the same time, the processes associated with metabolism are activated, the body is not only cleansed, but also, due to the ability of the skin to absorb, it is saturated with useful substances.

At the same time, it should be remembered that baths should be exactly warm, not higher than 39 degrees, and one of the indicators of the effectiveness of the procedure is a slight perspiration on the forehead. However, we will talk about the rules for conducting such hydrotherapy later.

When is the best time to look for an alternative?

Now it is worth mentioning contraindications , because a bath is, after all, a water procedure, and even with the use of a saline solution.

Also contraindications include:

  • Wounds and abrasions on the skin - sodium chloride corrodes such areas on the skin and can lead to exacerbation
  • Breastfeeding period - milk can be lost from dehydration
  • Serious forms of cardiovascular disease
  • Severe diseases like cancer
  • Increased body temperature

Varicose veins are not included in this list. It is generally believed that with such a problem, you can take spa treatments, but do not rub the affected area and prevent it from overheating.

Pregnancy is also a reason to be careful not to overheat.

Dealing with benefits and harms Let's move on to the rules. And they are.

Rules, or how to achieve greater efficiency

  • First you need to prepare the body.

Since a lot of fluid is lost with this method of detoxification, it is advised to drink a glass of water a few minutes before starting. It is also recommended to take an extra supply of water with you to the bath - since fluid is lost during the procedure, you may feel uncomfortable.

  • Then it is worth doing a small dry body massage with a brush with a long handle (to easily reach the back).

So you remove dead cells from the surface of the body, and with them - harmful substances that have “settled” in them. You can use any body scrub you like at this stage. This exfoliation also improves the functioning of the lymphatic system to remove waste products from the body.

  • Take a shower afterwards.

Wash off the dirt from the body and at the same time warm it up a little.

  • Take a bath with a temperature of 36 to 39 degrees.

Add salt and other components of the solution to it, mix everything well.

  • Keep your hair under a cap or towel.

Evaporation of salts has a bad effect on the hair, drying it out and making it weak.

  • Session time is 20-40 minutes.

Do not allow the temperature to drop below 36, add warm water, and at the same time do not overheat, you should feel good and comfortable.

  • Relax while taking a bath.

Leave all thoughts about the complexities of life outside the door, drive away anxieties and fears. Mentally visualize how extra pounds go with the slag.

  • At the end, you can take a shower again, but this is not necessary.

You can also rub the whole body again with a brush or washcloth, helping the body get rid of toxins. Then wrap yourself in a warm towel or blanket and go to sleep (therefore, it is better to choose the time for the session in the evening). After hydrotherapy, the detoxifying effect persists for several hours.

How much can you lose with this method? Reviews say that result everyone is different, it all depends on individual characteristics.

Most often, at the very first procedures, it takes from 0.5 kg to 1.5 kg of weight - do not flatter yourself, this is mostly water from the body. Further, the plumb line is from 0.2 kg and above.

You can conduct such spa sessions every other day or twice a week, 10-15 procedures per course.

Possible options

Well, now let's talk about what else can be added to water to enhance the effect. There are many options, as they say, choose to taste. Here are the most popular ones.

With sea salt and essential oils

Essential oils are a popular ingredient in water therapy. Their different types tone up, help make the skin smooth and velvety, have an anti-inflammatory effect, increase immunity, and relieve stress.

When buying, carefully read the purpose of a particular oil and choose the most suitable for you personally.

In this regard, it is appropriate to recall the information from the school chemistry course that oil does not dissolve in water. How then to dissolve it in the bath, you ask? For this purpose, so-called emulsifiers (solvents) are used.

In our case, it can be marine or conventional salt, soda, you can also use honey, cream, yogurt, yogurt. Just mix them in first. essential oil then pour the mixture into the water.

IN this case have to take

Sea salt (buy high-quality, without fragrances, dyes, it should be a grayish tint, in the form of crystals that look like cubes - this is an indicator that it is natural) - 450 g

Aromatic oils - 3-5 drops

I already wrote about the benefits of sodium bicarbonate in the fight against excess weight in my article. Soda-salt the bath is one of the most popular of them.

We will need

  • Table salt 150-300g
  • Soda 120-200g
  • Essential oils - 3-5, maximum 10 drops. Several names are possible.

Mix everything and add to water.

Do not look at the fact that the name is so strange, exotic. The effect of taking baths with her is promised to be stunning.

In addition to all of the above useful properties, it also helps to compensate for the lack of magnesium and sulfates in the body, "supplying" them directly through the skin.

Thanks to these qualities, it effectively fights hypertension and other heart problems and actively flushes out toxins.

By the way, it is used not only externally, but also internally for the prevention of constipation and bowel cleansing.

  • Baking soda - 1-2 cups
  • Sea or Himalayan salt - 1⁄4 cup

  • Ground ginger - optional. It will take from 1 tbsp to 1/3 cup.
  • Fresh herbs - lavender, mint, chamomile, or any other scented herb you enjoy.

I want to complete my short review in one more way, which, as they say, helps to achieve excellent results and makes hydrotherapy much more effective.

With sea salt, baking soda and essential oils

Ingredients

  • Sea salt - 1 cup
  • Baking soda - 250 grams
  • Juniper oil - 3-5 drops

The result is smooth, even, elastic skin, small scars are healed. In combination with a diet on the first day, up to 2.5 kg goes away.

Well, in conclusion, I want to note the following
