The Sea Salt Soak is a very therapeutic soak that ends as a bath. I personally began soaking in sea salt every chance I got which was every time I got in the tub, back in 2004, and boy did it work wonders on my health, especially my skin.
 My personal massage therapist, Doyle Smith, was the first person to let me know that what I was doing (soaking in sea salt) was paying off because after massaging me for the first time he commented on how soft my skin was and how my tissues were in great shape. He asked me if I was a vegetarian and I said, "yes", but a "vegan" vegetarian.
In addition to diet I told Doyle about my sea salt soaks and use of crystals that complimented my spiritual walk in life.
One of my favorite rituals and hobbies is soaking in hot water and sea salt with essential oils and crystals.
Benefits of Sea Salt Soak
Sea salt is a great purifier. It dissolves or dissipates negative energy. This is why many crystal therapists and experts recommend cleansing crystals and gemstones with sea salt. Sea salt that has been used to clear/cleanse crystals should not be reused and should be disposed of.
Bathing in sea salt helps to remove negative vibrations as well as Malochia ("evil eye").
Sea salt is alkaline and therefore helps to de-acidify the body and raise the body's pH levels. The salt water penetrates the skin's pores and enters into the bloodstream and thus enters the tissues and begins to remove accumulations of lactic acid (which is produced in response to working out or exercising as well as being produced as a byproduct of the catabolism of dairy products).
This is why soaking in hot water and sea salt after a hard and strenuous workout is so soothing, relaxing, and energizing. Lactic acid is what makes the body stiff and sea salt is counteractive against lactic acid.
When you add a cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the bath water, now you have oxygen and alkalinity which together help to eradicate all physical disease. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into oxygen inside the body and this is a good thing when disease is present as oxygen and alkalinity together is not the ideal environment of disease and negative microorganism such as parasites and worms.
If you are suffering from a STD (sexually transmitted disease), you should perform the sea salt soak daily.
Other beneficial uses of sea salt include gargling with it for throat health and to help eradicate hoarseness; after a heated discussion or argument (infused with a lot of negative energy), place a bowl of sea salt in the middle of the room to neutralize the negative energy (you can also place a bowl of ice cubes in the room as well to help things "cool' down a bit as a heat discussion or argument does in fact "heat" up the room as well as the persons); and for sick people, place a bowl of sea salt (or water with sea salt) under the bed of the sick person to dissolve their negative energy.
Only use sea salt for everything contained in this article. Never use white table salt, a chemical toxin produced by the production of petroleum. You can use any kind of sea salt from Celtic, Himalayan, French, Atlantic, etc. The best ones are Himalayan and Celtic. The price of sea salt will vary but it doesn't matter as long as you are using SEA SALT.
How To Take The Sea Salt Soak
Run hot water (as hot as you can stand or bear, but not too hot so as to overly shock the body).
Add one box or 16 ounces (minimum) of sea salt to the bath. Personally, the more sea salt you add to the bath, the better. I personally prefer two to three boxes of sea salt per bath.
OPTIONAL: If you have an ozone or oxygen machine, let the water ozonate or oxygnate for 45 minutes before entering the tub.
Add essential oils of your choice to the water.
For a calming and relaxing soak, add 2-3 drops of French Lavender, 2-3 drops of Peppermint, and 2 drops of Roman or Yellow Chamomile to the soak water. Swirl around in the water with your hand.
For an anti-aches and pain soak, add 2-3 drops of Peppermint, 2-3 drops of Eucalyptus, and 2 drops of Wintergreen to the soak water. Swirl around in the water with your hand.
For a spiritual soak, add 2 drops of Frankincense, 2 drops of Myrrh, 2-3 drops of Sandalwood, 2-3 drops of Davana, 2-3 drops of Oakmoss (if you can find it - it is available in California from "Soothe Your Soul" in Redondo Beach, California) to the soak water. Swirl around in the water with your hand. NOTE: This soak also clears the aura (chakras)!
For an aphrodisiacal soak, add 2 drops of Davana, 2 drops of Sandalwood, 3 drops of Patchouli, 2 drops of Rose (Bulgarian or Otto), 2 drops of Neroli, and 2-3 drops of Ylang Ylang. Swirl around in the water with your hand.
For a detox soak, add 2 drops of Oregano, 2 drops of Parsley, 2 drops of Hyssop, 2 drops of Eucalyptus, 2 drops of Tumeric, 2 drops of Juniper Berry, and 3 drops of Tea Tree. Swirl around in the water with your hand.
 For an abundance and prosperity soak, add 3 drops of Patchouli, 2 drops of Ginger, 2 drops of Cinnamon Leaf (not bark), 3 drops of Oakmoss, 2 drops of Bay, and 2 drops of Melissa. Swirl around in the water with your hand. You'll want to add crystals and gemstones of Green Aventurine, Tiger's Eye, Citrine, and Emerald (optional), Ruby (optional), and Sapphire (optional), all money stones, to the water. You can also add a few dollar bills (up to 5-10 bills of any denomination) to the soak water or around the tub where you can see them. The salt will neutralize the energy from the bills if you're worried about the bills passing through so many hands. Once in the tub soaking, close your eyes and visualize money, wealth, abundance, and prosperity. Feel RICH!
After adding your oils (to any one of the soaks above), place a moderate size piece or pieces of Quartz crystal in the tub and/or around the tub.
OPTIONAL: You can light a candle or candles if you like. Essential oil-based candles are best!
Next, set your intention into the water. Water has memory and thus stores what is recorded in to it. You may have seen this in the movie "What the Bleep (Do We Know?). This is very true, so set your intention, i.e. "this bath heals my body", "this bath soothes my soul and releases negativity", etc.
Enter the tub and begin soaking. Soak for a good 45-60 minutes. Relax, meditate, listen to music, etc.
Before you exit the tub, bathe. Scrub yourself with a loofah brush or wash yourself thoroughly with a towel.
OPTIONAL: Remove the stopper from the drain and recline back inside the tub sitting or lying comfortably allowing the water to go down the drain. Close your eyes and visualize the water that is going down the drain carrying your expelled toxic-negative emotions from the day (or week). Visualize the water pulling out the toxins from your body as the vortex from the water going down the drain creates a pulling and descending effect on the water in the tub. Sit or lie in the tub until all the water is completely out of the tub. As the last remaining water goes down the drain, strongly visualize all toxic-negative emotion going down the drain with the water. The sound of the water going down the drain will become louder as more water goes down the drain.
With all the water out of the tub now, lie or sit in the tub for a few minutes. Feel yourself being renewed, invigorated, revitalized, and rejuvenated.
Slowly rise up on two feet in the tub. Feel as though you have been baptized, that your sins (toxic-negative emotions) have been cleared.
Next, shower briefly to remove any and all dirt residue from your body.
Dry yourself off well, especially your feet and toes.
Next, Sage yourself. You can use a Sage bundle or Sage incense. Sage bundle is best! You may also use incense of Frankincense, Myrrh, White Copal, or Dragon's Blood. Hold the bundle or incense stick between your legs about a foot from your genitals, allowing the smoke to rise up. This is especially important for women because this is a ritual I prescribe to women to help purify their yoni (vagina) and thus helps to heal their yoni and reproductive chamber.
This ritual is important if you are dealing with a STD, had a miscarriage or abortion, suffer from fibroid tumors, experience irregular menstrual cycles, etc.
It's also good to perform even if you're pregnant for purposes of good energy and spiritual protection.
Next, oil yourself down with spiritual oil, such as
If you don't have spiritual oil, rub yourself down from head to toe with a good botanical oil such as olive, coconut, sweet almond, grape seed, jojoba, kukui, or avocado.
Anoint your feet with essential oil of Spikenard. Basically, pour a few drops into the palms of your hand and massage into your feet. This is what the Biblical Mary did to anoint the Biblical Jesus' (Karast) feet:
"Then took Mary a pound of ointment of Spikenard, very costly and anointed the feet of Jesus." John 12:3
Spikenard is "very calming, both emotionally and physically, and of special value in serious skin conditions. A powerful antifungal; indicated for psoriasis, insufficient ovarian function, athlete's foot, fungal infections, and emotionally for deep sadness; a powerful oil for grounding and for emotional needs; a "Woman's oil." - Jeanne Rose.
Use of essential of Myrrh from the chest (breasts) up to the crown of the head is excellent for clearing and opening the higher chakras as well as the astral body. After oiling yourself, add a drop of Myrrh to the palm of your hands and rub together and then rub your chest (breasts), your neck area (front and back), and top of your forehead.
Then, take a single drop of Myrrh on your index finger and massage directly into the crown of your head, penetrating through your hair down to your scalp and massage into your scalp for a few seconds. Your crown is the site of your Seventh or Sahasrara Chakra, your spiritual center and link to your higher self.
With Spikenard on your feet and Myrrh on your upper body and head, you are now grounded.
Get more spiritual in your life people and I can guarantee you an improved life here in the world of man. It is our spiritual side or nature that has all the answers we need and desire.
Our world is a mess, especially here in the Western world due to neglect of our spiritual selves, our soul, and usually for the sake of an illusion, such as the pursuit of money, the "bling", or "making a living" which blinds you to the reality of "living your making" whereby you wouldn't have to go after money, money would go or come after you.
Stop neglecting your spiritual self if you are wise! Seek ye first the Kingdom of God (located in your heart as your heart's desires). You are not feeding your spiritual self or soul by going to church, synagogue, or mosque or masjid. You feed your soul daily by living in tune and harmony with your spiritual or higher self in addition to Universal or Natural law, acknowledging it day in and day out.
I will be sharing many more of my spiritual secrets and rituals with you in the future so stay tuned to Dherbs.Com.
