How to Physically Relax When You Can’t Take the Time
In talking with a body care client recently about his need to physically relax his sports-induced muscles on a regular basis. He related he couldn’t find the time to stretch or soak his body in a hot bath. You may have felt this way yourself where taking the time to relax, unwind, to stretch or soak seems un-doable, but of course you take a shower!
This reminded me of a personal story of when I was living and working at a mineral and mud bath resort many years ago. I was about to take a 3 month trip overseas where I would not have the facility to soak in hot mineral water or have a hot mud bath regularly as living at the resort. I thought that if I could make up a mix of some powdered ingredients for easy transport that I could shower with, it might slightly resemble the effects of a hot mineral or mud bath.
I found that my mix of powdered ingredients was far more relaxing than I actually imagined. I share this with you for you to enjoy – make up a batch and have it on hand in your shower or bath to use whenever; my source for the ingredients follows:
One-third Boraxo Hand Soap powder
One-third Herbo-Mineral Clay powder
One-third Salt: your choice of Table Salt, Sea Salt, or Epsom Salt – cheap enough to buy on your own from any grocery or pharmacy
Mix these ingredients together to store in a plastic container and keep handy to soak or shower with.
In a smaller container for one-time usage, mix one to two handfuls with just enough water to mix the ingredients and have it be a bit sloshy and no longer powdery.
Apply and scrub all over the body.
You’ll find it cleanses, detoxifies and exfoliates the skin, brings the natural body oils to the surface, and totally relieves the body of tension and the mind of stress.
Easy cleanup – just spray down shower or bath while residue is still moist
