Why do Metaphysical Healers always Recommend Salt Baths?
Creating your own bath Salt is one of Earth’s most purifying substances. Witches use salt to cleanse, purify, and create sacred spaces and for protection.
Have you ever heard of someone throwing salt over their shoulder after saying something they shouldn’t have? The salt is intended to purify the intent, reverse curses, and ward off evil.
In the Metaphysical world, salt is a popular item. Ranging from regular old white table salt to gourmet black salt, to divination black salt, sea salt, Himalayan salt, Epsom salts, so many choices!
Why do we love salt so much? Let’s look at the protection aspect…have you watched old movies where there was something evil in the house, so the stars of the show made a salt circle? This works! Salt is high vibration. With the correct intention, when salt is placed in a circle around you, it can protect you! People also leave a line of salt in a doorway, or on a windowsill for the same reason. It keeps spirits out.
How about the cleansing aspect? If you place salt in a bowl and then put your crystals in there, the crystals will begin to cleanse. They can self-clean with the help of salt. What do I mean by that? So, when you use crystals or keep them on you, they absorb lower vibration energies around you. They are taking it for you, so you don’t have to absorb the energies. After a while, the crystals don’t look as nice as they used to. They become dull, and visibly look like they could use a bath. Placing them in a bowl of dry salt is like a bath for the crystals, where they can rest, recharge, and absorb some good energy, therefore cleansing off the old energy.
Now let’s talk about a salt bath. Why does a Metaphysician always recommend going home to a nice salt bath?
One thing we know is that Epsom salts contain Magnesium. This is a very scientific way, that allows you to absorb some nutrition. Magnesium is something most people are deficient in unless you eat a regular diet of lots of leafy greens. Magnesium is a valuable mineral that brings on sleep, allows a person to rest, and is very calming.
Salt in the bath is very purifying. It cleans and charges the Aura of a person and works very similarly for a person as it does for crystals. Leave a person in a salt bath for a while, and they feel restored as well as recharged.
One other benefit to a salt bath is that if the person has an entity attachment when you submerge in the saltwater bath, it takes any power an entity has away. You simply can’t hear it. This combination of water and salt is extremely effective for “drowning out the voices”, especially if you find them repetitive, low vibration, or harmful. Usually, these voices belong to something else and are not even your thoughts.
Every Witch, Healer, and Metaphysician has its recipes for bath salts. We usually add some aromatherapy and/or some herbs to amplify the effects and power of the actual salt bath.
Some of my favorites are to add Mugwort herb, and Rose essential oil. This combination is protective and opens the heart. I use it for a safe recipe for Astral Travelling, Astral Projection, and traveling into the Akashic Records. The Mugwort keeps you energetically safe from lower frequencies, while the Rose allows you to open your heart as a portal to travel further.
There are so many combinations. You can use recipes to take away fatigue and extreme tiredness, alleviate depression, lower blood pressure, sleep better, provide calm, and so on.
