What sets bath salts apart from bubbles or oils is their reputation for healing properties.
Tired limbs, sore backs, pulled muscles, stress tensions and even insomnia are all still thought to be cured by a long, salty soak.
Bath salts contain an abundance of trace minerals such as sulphur and magnesium that dissolve in your bath and mimic the properties of natural hot springs and therapeutic baths.
Some bath salts contain phosphates, which help to exfoliate and soften skin, others glycerin, which lock in moisture. Many come with added essential oils with all their mood-enhancing aromatherapy benefits, muscle-soothing properties and detoxification qualities.

I think I mentioned somewhere that Supermarkets had some cheap but very good ones - Waitrose? Snarly might remember. I got some from Tesco before Christmas and they really eased my ankle pain. Lovely to soak in.
