Six Reasons to use Thermal Spas

 

"Thermal baths are also known as hot springs and water seeps deep into the soil and – when rising – brings with it a multitude of minerals. These minerals are said to be incredibly healing, though they vary depending on the minerals in the surrounding soil" states Natural Therapy Pages 

The heat increases blood flow around the body which helps metabolism, circulation and aids the absorption of beneficial minerals. This ancient past time is a natural remedy that has been used for decades to help heal skin conditions such as exczema and psoriasis along with many other health benefits. 

The seven most common minerals found in thermal baths or hot springs are: 

Calcium- is commonly known for promoting strong bones, but it also keeps skin healthy. Calcium in the epidermis keeps skin youthful by encouraging cell renewal. 

Sulfur- has healing and antibacterial properties which help keep the springs clean and treat skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis. 

Magnesium- helps to heal the skin. It detoxes the skin, reduces fine lines, combats breakouts, and is excellent for cracked heels. 

Iron- helps increase the oxygen in the blood and promotes circulation. It helps combat dark circles, heal wounds and gives skin a healthy glow. 

Potassium- hydrates and balances the pH level of the skin. Soaking in potassium helps to soften and moisturise the skin naturally. 

Zinc- is healing and anti-inflammatory which helps clear congestion and calm breakouts. 

The skin is the largest organ in the body, so by regularly using thermal spas it promotes a healthy and youthful glow all over.

To protect the skin during the day, a teaspoon sized amount of sun protection should be applied to the face. To obtain this amount of sunscreen layer products that contain a medium or high sun protection factor. 

Follow this skin detox regime daily and use the Daily Superfoliant at least 3 times a week for glowing skin.
