I’m a fan of Kneipp. Two weeks ago when I came down with a cold on a Friday morning, I reached for the Eucalyptus bath salts to pep me up as they are the ideal remedy during cold and flu season. It definitely reversed the situation as I was able to get out of bed at the weekend and was ready for work on Monday morning. How many other kinds of bath salts are capable of that? Hardly any to my knowledge because they are more cosmetic than medicinal.
If you’ve never tried Kneipp, their Sparkling Bath Tablets* is a great introduction to what they can do for your body when you just need some TLC. By no means are these tablets inferior, in fact they pack as much punch as Kneipp’s other products – they’re just sample sizes.
The tablets are available in four of Kneipp’s popular variations:
Eucalyptus (green), Joint & Muscle (yellow), Pure Bliss (pink) and Balancing (purple), each inused with different herbal ingedients and addressing a different ailment or fulfilling a purpose.
The tablets are pretty big and when dropped in warm water, gently fizz, releasing aromatic essential oils to calm the body and mind and they really do work. A Kneipp bath lulls you to sleep so I’d recommend taking one on Sunday night just as you unwind. I felt like I was floating on a cloud; my muscles and joints had loosened up and had put me in a relaxing state.
Kneipp is very precise about the temperature of the water and length of time spent soaking in the bath (no longer than 15-20 minutes). I guess that is enough time for the minerals and essential oils to do their job. It’s more than enough time for me as I get agitated lying in the bath for any longer.
It’s also very handy that the tablets are individually wrapped and lightweight, so they’d also be convenient to take on holiday and use after a flight, and at £1.95 is cheaper than a doctor’s prescription. You can find Kneipp on Grafton Beauty.
