pil-oga-robic | RESTORATION BATH
This weeks post will hopefully benefit all of your soar and achy muscles and leave you full of energy. After soaking in way too many ice baths after long workouts, I am happy to share a warm bath alternative!!! So, relax, unwind, and reward yourself; you worked hard this week!
Pil-oga-robic Restoration Bath
To a warm bath add:
2 cups of Epsom salt | read benefits below
2 drops eucalyptus oil | purifies, oxigenates, energizes, and heals blisters and other skin irritations
3 drops juniper oil | stimulates lymphatic system, great for a deep cleansing
3 drops rosemary oil | detoxifies, energise and uplifts spirits
Soak for at least 20 minutes.
Why we love Epsom Salt:
Most of us are deficient in magnesium, and by simply soaking in a relaxing bath with magnesium-rich Epsom salt we can boost our levels of this important element. It is important to get your magnesium because it is the second-most abundant element in human cells and the fourth-most important positively charged ion in the body. It helps the body regulate over 325 enzymes and plays an important role in organizing many bodily functions, like muscle control, electrical impulses, energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins. It is a hard mineral to digest, but lucky for us it is easily absorbed through the skin. Here are are few more reasons why Pil-oga-robic bodies love soaking in Epsom Salt:

- Improved heart and circulatory health, reducing irregular heartbeats, preventing hardening of the arteries, reducing blood clots and lowering blood pressure.
- Improved ability for the body to use insulin, reducing the incidence or severity of diabetes.
- Flushed toxins and heavy metals from the cells, easing muscle pain and helping the body to eliminate harmful substances.
- Improved nerve function by electrolyte regulation. Also, calcium is the main conductor for electrical current in the body, and magnesium is necessary to maintain proper calcium levels in the blood.
- Relieved stress. Excess adrenaline and stress are believed to drain magnesium, a natural stress reliever, from the body. Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of well being and relaxation.
- Reduced inflammation to relieve pain and muscle cramps.
- Improved oxygen use.
- Improved absorption of nutrients.
- Improved formation of joint proteins, brain tissue and mucin proteins.
- Prevention or easing of migraine headaches.
