For years, the
power of saltwater has been used to heal the body. However, once extracted
from the water, sea salt has the same power to heal and detoxify our bodies
because it contains twenty-one minerals, including magnesium; calcium; and
potassium,
which are essential to our health.
The magnesium, calcium, and potassium in sea salt offer several benefits. Magnesium not only fights stress, it also fights fluid retention in the body. Furthermore, it helps slow the aging process of skin and helps calm the nervous system. Calcium, well known for increasing bone strength, increases circulation and prevents water retention. Potassium gives energy to the body and helps to balance skin’s moisture. In addition, it relieves muscle stiffness and relaxes the body’s muscles.
When using Sophia’s gommage, sea salt presents many advantages as well. Sea salt draws toxins out of the body and softens skin. It also unclogs pores and helps soothe aching muscles and joints while exfoliating dead dry skin cells.
Essential oils
are the pure essence of a plant, and they have a large number of benefits
for the body and mind, psychological and physical. The psychological and physical
benefits of these oils are based on their aromas. When inhaled, an essential
oil’s aroma triggers a reaction in the brain and the body’s chemistry.
Lavender, for example, has over twenty aromatherapeutic benefits such as relieving
headaches, disinfecting wounds, and prompting relaxation. Geranium, another
significant essential oil, lifts mild depression, balances hormones and relieves
premenstrual tension. Eucalyptus relieves muscle aches and joint pains and
helps treat asthma; it can also be used as an antiseptic. These are just a
few of the many essential oils and their benefits.
Sophia’s unique essential oil blends are designed to produce specific
responses. Our blends are Refreshing, Grounding, Romantic, Calming, Relaxing,
Detoxifying, Serious, and, of course, Lavender. Each of these blends is created
using high quality, single,
pure essential oils.
