Take A Moon Phase Sole Salt Bath 

An Ancient Celtic Bath Ritual Equal to a 3-day Fast!

The cleansing effect of this 30-minute sole mixture bath equals that of a three-day fast. The toxins are released into the bath water, while the minerals from the sole are absorbed through the skin. This reduces the acidity in our body and gets rid of skin-irritations. Grail Springs only makes the sole mixture twice a month; during the full moon phase and the new moon phase.

Full Moon Phase – highest absorption of minerals: On the day of the full moon the healing process of the body is at its peak as is its absorption potential. At full moon, the body will absorb the most minerals from the salt bath. The mineral materials penetrate and are absorbed into the skin in the form of ions. Bioenergetic weak points are harmonized and the body’s own energy flow is activated.

New Moon Phase – highest detox: At new moon, the body’s capacity for detoxification is at its highest. This is a perfect time for a cleansing salt bath.

Make the Sole Bath 24 hours in advance – ingredients:

  • 1 litre Mason Jar
  • 1 cup Himalayan Crystal Bath Salt

Place 1 cup of Himalayan Crystal Bath Salt in a 1 litre mason jar and pour enough hot water to fill the jar. Occasionally turn the jar over so as to help the salt dissolve.

Over the past few years we have established equilibrium on the already potent healing property by the specific placement of transducers, special minerals and selected stones. A painting project commenced in 2012 using magnetically-grounding minerals mixed into non-toxic paint to enhance the therapy rooms and accommodations at Grail Springs.

When you are ready to take your bath:

  1. First drink three teaspoons of the salt brine, taking it from the top of the mixure. This makes for an excellent detox body cleanse.
  2. Measure the temperature at approximately 98 degrees Fahrenheit and pour the mixture in when you have reached desired water level.
  3. Light some candles, clear the mind chatter and ponder on purification of mind, heart and body.
  4. Bathe for about 30 minutes.

Ancient Celts added essential oils for further purification (optional):

  • 10 drops Lavender Oil
  • 10 drops Rosemary Oil
  • 5 drops Sage Oil

Do not eat anything heavy before your bath and don’t use any other chemical substances in this bath. After the bath do not rub dry, but gently pat your skin and let the body air-dry naturally. Do not use any lotions and do not shower until the following day.
