Bringing you bright and sunny tracks on a wet and rainy evening...

24 October 2010

We can write all we want about style, clothing, and shoes but there is something far more important than keeping up the apprearance of the outer man.  It's maintaining a balanced sense of wellness starting with the inner man.

We at No. 88 take a very holistic approach to living well.  Every now and then we'll treat ourselves to a Shiatsu massage after a grueling week of daily yoga or a nice long soak in a tub with bath salts to ease soreness and detox.  We now present to you the glory of epsom salt.

When epsom salt (or magnesium sulfate) is absorbed through the skin, such as in a bath, it draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling, and relaxes muscles.  The best part about epsom salt is that you can buy a large carton of it at any health food store for very little.

Just take a trip to the market and get yourself a box of epsom salt.  Draw a nice warm bath.  Add the salt.  You can add essential oils as well such as peppermint oil or lavendar oil to the bath.  Put on some of your favorite music and and an eye mask if you want to knock out and soak your cares away -- all for under USD 5.00.  Where can you beat that?

Live well!
