Himalayan salt baths, may be beneficial in the following ways:

Relaxes and calms

Taking any kind of bath can be a relaxing experience. One studyTrusted Source found bathing in warm water for 10 minutes can reduce fatigue, stress, and pain and increase feelings of contentment and emotional health.

Advocates say that Himalayan salt is able to generate negative ions in the air, creating the type of calming effect many people experience on a saltwater beach.

While this hasn’t been proven, anecdotal evidence suggests people find mineral baths, like Himalayan salt baths, to be soothing and relaxing. Some people also use Himalayan salt lamps for this benefit.

Delivers magnesium

Magnesium is necessary for health. It helps muscles contract and relax. It’s necessary for nervous system regulation and also helps convert food into energy. Every system in the body requires magnesium to function properly.

Himalayan salt has trace amounts of magnesium, but it hasn’t been proven that there’s enough in it to provide health benefits while bathing.

However, a scientific reviewTrusted Source did find that magnesium might be able to enter the lymphatic system through the skin.

Another small study suggests spraying a magnesium chloride solution on the skin may reduce the pain associated with fibromyalgia.

Treats eczema, acne, and psoriasis

Salt has antimicrobial properties, which may make it beneficial for treating acne.

Himalayan salt baths might be a good way to treat acne on hard-to-reach areas of the body where breakouts occur, such as the back or shoulders.

Mineral baths have been shown to have benefits for people with psoriasis or eczema. They can reduce scaling, redness, and irritation.

According to the National Eczema Association, adding salt to bathwater can reduce the stinging that water might cause skin during a severe flare-up. The magnesium content in Himalayan salt might also make it beneficial for reducing skin inflammation.

Soothes insect bites

There are many home remedies for bug bites. Advocates for Himalayan salt believe that a soak in warm water containing Himalayan salt can help soothe itch and reduce swelling.
