Pour the salts under warm running water to allow the mineral salts to dissolve. The temperature of the bath should only be about 2 degrees warmer than the temperature of your body.
If you prefer, rather than pouring the bath salts directly into the bath, you can put some in a muslin drawstring bag, tie it closed and affix the bag to the faucet so that the water runs through the bag as the bath fills, or you can just place the bag in the bath. Store the salts away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Baking Soda- which is technically sodium bicarbonate, has an alkalizing effect on the body. This can be very important in cases of over-acidity, which is common with the typical western diet. Red meat, cheeses, sugar, and refined foods are acid-forming. A baking soda bath acts to neutralize this effect. It is also useful for detoxing from an overuse of alcohol, caffeine, medications, and nicotine. After soaking in this compound, the body generally feels refreshed and renewed, with the added benefit of soft, supple skin.
