Salt plays an important role in medicine. Mildly enriched with salt, water has a positive effect on irritated or sensitive skin. This sympathetic effect ofthe water is particularly appreciated by children, as well as by every one requiring therapy. In addition, the salt vapour directly above the surface of the water has a positive effect on the respiratory organs. Brine baths cleanse the skin, eliminate oedema, help get rid of unwanted cellulite, relax, improve resistance to illnesses, soothe rheumatic and muscular pain and neuralgia. Brine bath is ideal if you want to regenerate after intensive physical exercise. It relaxes and soothes psychological tensions as well.
Swimming in salt water provides a great cosmetic benefit. Light salt water does not dry the skin out, but has the same skin softening and tissue strengthening effect as a bath in the sea. After bathing, the salt particles are gently massaged into the skin by towel drying, thus improving the blood circulation and making your skin feel as soft as velvet.
