We live in a world that rarely switches off. Blue light, endless notifications, and the mental load of running a business or a household can leave our nervous systems in a state of constant high alert.
If you find yourself lying awake at 2am, tired but "wired," you aren't alone. But the answer might not be in a pill it might be in your bathtub.
The Science of the Soak The secret ingredient to a sleep-inducing bath is Magnesium. Most of us are magnesium deficient, which contributes to muscle tension, anxiety, and restless sleep.
This is why Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulfate) are the cornerstone of our Calm Bath Soak. Unlike standard table salt, Epsom salts dissolve in warm water and are absorbed transdermally (through the skin). This magnesium boost helps to:
- Relax smooth muscle tissue.
- Lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
- Prepare the body for a state of deep rest.
Setting the Scene To turn a wash into a ritual, add a handful of our Calm Bath Soak to running water. The heat of the bath raises your body temperature; when you get out, your temperature drops, signaling to your brain that it is time to sleep.
Combined with our signature blend of Lavender and Patchouli, it is the ultimate off-switch for a busy mind.
