Oh no green pebbles left in the tub . . .
Written: Nov 05 '08
Pros:A pine forest, dance when out of tub, or sleep like a baby
Cons:Not enough natural ingredients, but still worth it
The Bottom Line: An aromatherapeutic essential for easing aches and pains, like bottle label reads
No problem, because if you crush those little green pebbles that did not fully dissolve and are left hanging out at the bottom of your bathtub, they still ease away aches and pains as well as exfoliate when you rub the eventual powder into your skin.
The reason some semi non-absorbent leftover pebbles are present is because of the Sodium Sesquicarbonate. It is green pine-ness, sage, and eucalyptussy-type scent that wakes you up ! The concentrated surfectant (a soothing agent that binds to the mineral for alleviation of tension) is well proportioned between gallons of tepid water and bath salt. This agent and its minerals with soothing properties actually increases blood flow and eases the discomfort from constriction due to poor circulation.
The Sodium Sesquicarbonate (1) is a double salt of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate. It is used to remove copper chlorides but apparently within the body, one that is aching from over-production of either lactic acid or some other enzyme, this fuses with the pores entering through the multi-layers of epidermal tissues creating relief.
There is also typical minerals like magnesium sulfate, sodium chloride, sodium lauryl sulfate, water, glycerin, fragrance, sulphur, potassium iodide and chlorophyll an-copper complex. Not as holistic and natural as I hoped, BUT I tell you when I am on my feet at catering gigs for eight or nine hours or more, this stuff works wonders and smells fabulous !
A generous amount , about cap and a half full may be too much for women who experience itching or burning due to high sensitivity, so in this case, lesson the frequency of use since all products for someone will cause some discomfort. Because of this particular tendency I would not recommend this product for any young lady who has not begun menstruating yet, as it might be quite irritating and/or internally destructive. (see urinary tract infections and connection to bubble baths, bath soaks, mineral infusions, etc)
It provides a spa-like bath and has no warning about not using in conjunction with hydrotherapy, such as a whirlpool tub. If a massage is followed after using this in your bathtub, I can assure you some of the pain if not all, will ebb out of you and flow down the drain ! Because of the combination of ingredients, insomniacs, like myself can appreciate a good nights sleep because the manifester of our sleepless nights has been shut down, eliminated, removed from the physical host.
Just for this note as a holistic advisor, I do find meditation also works to ease away aches and oains and with a handful of Batherapy in my tepid bath water, I can dissolve those deterrants to my better health and self-improvement. When I was 'reiking' my ovarian cyst to a smaller more tolerable size, this aromatherapy helped tremendously.
So do not be concerned about the few remnants left in the tub reminding you it was the concentration of good needed to eradicate the concentration of bad and we are 'whole' again in the conception of self as getting better all the time . . .
The price is rather inexpensive because there are lesser naturals than the two more synthetic, BUT it is virtually harmless to most skin types and blood types. Allergies have not been noted and I have not looked into any correlations. Most health food and eneral drug stores will carry this but the best value would be at a Walmart, Walgreens or Giant Eagle grocery chain stores.
