The Science of the Malibu Bath Rocks:

For thousands of years, salt baths have been highly prized medicinal therapies. Hippocrates (460-370BC) first discovered the therapeutic qualities of seawater and salt baths on the hands of injured fisherman, quelling both infection and pain.The ancient Greeks recommended seaside health resorts to cure skin diseases and revered the 16th century doctor and alchemist Paracelsus even proclaimed that salt baths were better than all the health spas arising out of nature. The healing powers of salt baths are still valued to the present day thanks to countless well documented health benefits and scientific studies. Salt has antibacterial and antiseptic properties making it a useful therapy for those with eczema, acne and or psoriasis.

Wikipedia definition of Balneotherapy (Latin: balneum "bath") is the presumed benefit from disease by bathing, a traditional medicine technique usually practiced at spas "Balneotherapy" is the practice of immersing a subject in mineral water or mineral-laden mud; it is part of the traditional medicine of many cultures and originated in hot springs, cold water springs, or other sources of such water, like the Dead Sea. [3] Balneotherapy may be recommended for a wide range of illnesses, including arthritis,[4] skin conditions and fibromyalgia.[5] Balneotherapy should be discussed in advance with a physician before beginning treatment, since a number of conditions, like heart disease and pregnancy, can result in a serious adverse effect.

Wikipedia definition of Thalassotherapy (from the Greek word thalassa, meaning "sea") is the use of seawater as a form of therapy.[1] It is based on the systematic use of seawater, sea products, and shore climate.[2] The properties of seawater are believed to have beneficial effects upon the pores of the skin.[citation needed] Some claims are made that thalassotherapy was developed in seaside towns in Brittany, France during the 19th century.[3] A particularly prominent practitioner from this era was Dr Richard Russell,[4][5][6] whose efforts have been credited with playing a role in the populist "sea side mania of the second half of the eighteenth century",[7]although broader social movements were also at play.[8] In Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal, an area believed to have high concentrations of iodine, due to kelp forests, and subject to sea fog, the practice is in historical records since 1725 and was started by Benedictine monks; it expanded to farmers shortly after. In the 19th century, heated saltwater public baths opened and became especially popular with higher classes.[9]Others claim that the practice of thalassotherapy is older: "The origins of thermal baths and related treatments can be traced back to remote antiquity. Romans were firm believers in the virtues of thermalism and thalassotherapy.[2] In thalassotherapy, trace elements of magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, and iodide found in seawater are believed to be absorbed through the skin. The therapy is applied in various forms, as either showers of warmed seawater, application of marine mud or of algae paste, or the inhalation of sea fog. Spas make hot seawater and provide mud and seaweed wrapping services. This type of therapy is common in the Dead Sea area.

In a 2012 study at the University of California, indicates that the average person is regularly being exposed to cancerous levels of toxins like arsenic, dioxins, and DDE. With 100% of children tested exceeding cancer benchmark levels for these chemicals. Scientists found that regularly  bathing in this saline solution can help reduce inflammation, and therefore pain, associated with arthritis and similar conditions. When we bathe in Pink Himalayan salt solution we help to pull out some of these toxins out of our skin through reverse osmosis. A warm salt bath will cause your arteries and veins to expand which allows more space for blood to flow increasing circulation healing muscles faster and more efficiently. In both balneotherapy and thalassotherapy, inhaling steam from salt water is an established treatment for acute and chronic respiratory problems such as sinus infections and allergies.

Dr. Michael R. Irwin, director of UCLA's Cousin's Center for Psychoneuroimmunology, Semel Institute for Neuroscience and the Mindful Awareness Research Center says just 30 minutes of relaxation can greatly affect how you are going to deal with the rest of your day. Dr. Irwin claims there are huge benefits to stillness in the moment of bathing. It encourages profound relaxation, resets your physiology, regulates some stress hormones and helps with concentration and reduces tension. Research backs up the stress relieving effects of bathing. Enjoying a mineral bath is a type of therapy known as balneotherapy. Thirty years earlier Israeli researchers discovered that soaking in salt baths gave those with muscle pain both relief and greater mobility.

In a study published in the Phytotherapy Research, the antibacterial activity of fir needle essential oil was evaluated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and the results showed that three constituents of the oil were active against Staphylococcus aureus: alpha-pinene, beta-caryophyllene and alpha-humulene.

Pure Organic Golden Jojoba Oil/Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil: We buy straight from the sustainable farmer Oro de Sonora USDA Certified Organic. Grown in Southwest Arizona and made in America. An entire page of our website is dedicated Oro de Sonora's beautiful farm and how the oil is processed. Golden Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax extracted from the nut of the indigenous American shrub Simmondsia cinensis, a misnomer as the plant has nothing to do with China. Although called an oil, it's actually a liquid plant based wax. Native Americans use it for treating sores and bruises. Today it is commonly used to treat acne, psoriasis, eczema, sunburn, chapped skin, cuticle conditioner, and is a natural skin conditioner. It's also used for balding because it encourages hair regrowth. Because jojoba is an emollient, it soothes the skin, unclogs hair follicles, is an effective skin moisturizer for anti aging and removing wrinkles. Our sebaceous glands are microscopic glands in our skin that secrete an oily or waxy matter called sebum. The texture and use of sebum is very similar to jojoba oil, so as we age our sebaceous glands produce less sebum, which is why we get dry skin and hair which can lead to dandruff or itchy scalp. Soaps and most other skin cleaning agents strip the skin of sebum that skin glands produce to lubricate the skin and protect it from drying out. Being a waxy substance Jojoba oil can seal in the moisture and create an effective barrier to external elements. It is so structurally close to the secretion of the sebaceous glands in the skin that it is readily accepted and tolerated. When the skin remains well hydrated by the protective layer of the liquid wax, the sebaceous glands respond to it by down regulating sebum production. Jojoba oil has an anti-inflammatory effect that can counter seborrheic dermatitis too. Jojoba oil works in several ways to counteract acne formation. First it acts as a deep cleanser. Being a liquid, it can penetrate deep into the hair follicle; it can dissolve the sebum deposits and help dislodge the comedone, thus clearing the blockage. Secondly jojoba oil has antibacterial properties that help control bacterial growth in the hair follicle. It acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, soothing the irritated skin. When used regularly jojoba oil can control acne. The vitamins A & E in this oil also may have a role in this. Jojoba oil can very well be a safer, all American alternative to the Australian Tea Tree oil which is know to have some toxic effects at higher concentrations. The palms of the hand and the soles of the feet do not have sebaceous glands therefore applying to hands and feet will make them soft, smooth and retains moisture naturally forming a protective barrier to external irritants. It can also reduce the risk of secondary infections by preventing the entry of germs through inflamed and cracked skin, besides offering extra protection with its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. And last but not least, the oil is rich in antioxidants that may help modify the immune system.
