Arnica Bath Salt

Everything about this is dreamy! From the tranquil blue it tints the water to its totally euphoric scent, it soothes the senses. It seems to have some notes of soft lemon balm - a smooth, sweet, relaxingly joyous citrus note - not a sharp one. Kind of like candy lemon balm dryer sheets, but clean and fresh, not cloying. I love that I can smell this down the hall after my bath. It’s a bit spendy, but an absolute high quality product. Worth investing in. It really uplifts the mood and enhances a calming soak. My favorite bath oil!

The product is fabulous. It smells great and is very soothing and I love the way it colors the bath water.I had to put it in a new container, because it came all crunched up. It was no big deal, because the product was not damaged.

Really like this product. It provides a level of relief which other products have not.

The "Deep Breathe Pine & Fir" mineral salts by Kneipp make a for a great soak! Because reviews have been mixed I had my doubts, but having faith in German-made products, I decided to give it a try. Following my typical procedure, I added the salts as I started to fill the tub. The aroma filled the room with the light scent of an evergreen forest, just as you find on a hike. Nothing overpowering nor artifical. 5-stars. As to the soak itself, absolutely perfect! Soothing, relaxing, all crystals completely dissolved, and again the aroma remained light and natural. I spent 30-minutes in the soak, and really did not want to get out. 5-stars. As to ingredients, all natural mineral salts, natural pure essential oils, and natural surfactants. The only negative I have is the last two ingredients: artificial dyes, blue and yellow. These are here simply to create the green color. While I admit, the green bathwater is visually appealing, I wish the makers would delete these last two ingredients from their otherwise all-natural recipe. 3-stars. Overall rating 4-stars. On a side note, the product did NOT stain my tub. Also, the product is returnable, being no different than just about everything else purchased through Amazon. Do I recommend "Kneipp Deep Breathe Pine & Fir" mineral salts? Yes! Did I subscribe for regular shipments? Yes!

These bath salts are ALWAYS on my wishlists! The scent of lavender is strong, but the hops and other herbs add an ineffable scent that is deeply relaxing and pleasant. Every member of my family above the age of two uses and enjoys this product. It turns the bath water a lovely slightly deeper shade of the blue seen in the photo. I often add Epsom or Magnesium salts if using this for muscle aches, as alone it is not as helpful, perhaps simply because there isn't enough salt in a 'serving,' and for this purpose, it makes a muscle soothing soak much more pleasant (there is evidence in medical studies of high repute that salt baths are very helpful for muscle aches and pains - I will share references on this when I have a bit more time.) The bath also seems to soothe toddler rashes and leaves my adult skin very smooth and soft. Lotion and plain coconut or olive oil twenty minutes after the bath, as directed, seems to extend this softness better than either bath or moisturizer alone. It is expensive stuff - though it can be found for about $13/pound at times, and I personally buy several when there is a good price - for gifts as well was my family. Other plain salts, as mentioned, 'stretch' the product, and adding some of the Valerian and Hops bath liquid ('oil') to this intensifies the scent, so less can be used. The liquid version can be added to Epsom salt or similar as well, and while the color is not as intense, the scent permeates the plain salt very nicely after a few days. This salt, even at $18, is a worthwhile splurge and makes a great gift. I have tried to replicate the scent, and can't - mine smells like lavender only, and is not economical for the amount of herb and/or essential oil used - I have used 'healthier' food coloring and made an acceptable colored bath, but simply can't make something that compares to Kneipp. I have used this in sachets for bedclothes and pjs, and love the result, though the drawer does absorb the smell more than the cloth. I have also put simply cotton headbands that I wear to bed into the jar, and the scent is strong and long-lasting. I did once use a bit for homemade deodorant, but the color was a problem, so I will stick with essential oil only for that purpose. Note ending my newer reviews - tips on SAVINGS, or 'Why I buy just about everything on Amazon": Join an Amazon program like "Mom" or "Student" for discounts & other savings, even free Prime for a full year, there are many programs and everyone I know meets the requirements for at least one of them; Take advantage of Subscribe and Save AND the option to order five items for the same delivery for 20% savings or more; Read the fine print as savings often hide there, including promo codes; Check popular websites for promo codes, I have saved 40% off and gotten items for less than a dollar with all savings combined, in the time it took to type/read/write; Check other vendors, spellings, and especially departments as price vary wildly on some items and things sometimes don't appear in an all departments search; always click the 'Specials' on Amazon as they may not appear on product pages; consider the pantry program, especially if you don't have Prime; set price alerts on other websites as Amazon vendors are quick to respond to reductions anywhere. Forgive me if this is tedium, but I used to be guilty of one-click-2 AM-ordering, and these ideas have given me much more purchasing power with very little effort or time commitment.

For a bath or a foot soak, this stuff feels really luxurious, and the color it gives the water makes it look great too. Very relaxing to soak in, and my skin feels so soft afterward. Just exactly the pleasurable and somewhat exotic experience I was looking for in the bath. I bought a wide variety, and I may still try more. They all smell VERY strong and medicinal in the bottle, but once they are diluted into the water, the scent becomes quite subtle. I added a sea salt & sage scented candle to my bath time just because the scent from these bath salts was so subtle. I find the colored water quite enchanting. The valerian & hops one turns the water bright blue; devil’s claw makes it blood red; arnica is yellow like… well, it looks like pee, but it still feels amazing, just dim the lights! Basically, the color you see is close to what you get in the tub—depending on how much you add, of course. If you don’t want brightly colored water, stick to the varieties without coloring like Lavender. I looked up several of the hero ingredients on the front of the label, and some had some interesting warnings, so check them out before you buy. It’s probably a very low dosage in these salts, and probably even lower since you’re taking them as a soak on the skin and not by mouth. But still, a few said not to use while pregnant, or while using sedatives/sleep aids, or while using blood thinners, even ibuprofen. Again, probably not a significant dosage in bath salt soaks, but something to be aware of. Several of the ingredients (like arnica or calendula) aren’t actually shown to be effective—maybe they are, maybe they’re not. Others are shown to be useful, but when taken by mouth rather than a topical treatment (like devil’s claw or valerian). Others are shown to be effective, even in a form like bath salts (like lavender or orange). Some have warnings for people with plant allergies (like calendula). Still others are just for a pleasant aroma (like pine and fir). Despite the dubious claims (like arnica for muscle pain or topical devil’s claw for back pain) the salts and trace minerals themselves are shown to be effective, and of course that is the main ingredient in every variety, so every variety will be effective as a treatment in the bath. The hero additives on the front of the label should be considered more entertainment than medical intervention. Overall, very happy with these. I bought fragrance-free bubble bath and fragrance-free cleansing bath oil to use with them. These salts are the star of the show. I have never had such a luxurious experience in the bath and I look forward to using a different variety every time.

works great very relaxing made my muscles feel great and I slept great the night I took a bath with this

incredible for joint and muscle relief. this is my third bag in the month of a severe fibromyalgia like pain flare up and one of the only things that has helped alleviate pain. HIGHLY recommend.

I love this. It's so effective.

Profumato, buono e rilassante. È stato un regalo di compleanno ben gradito da chi l'ha ricevuto. Ideale per bagni rilassanti

Muscle ache? Don't hesitate this bath soak is great. Smells like medicine but 10 mins in and my whole body just felt so relaxed and honestly my daily aches went away. This is a god send and trust me take 20mins to fully enjoy this. This one is for muscle ache don't expect miracles but I was unable to stand up quickly as my legs had relaxed so much they didn't know how to operate. Great for builders.

Relaxation et délassement avec ces sels de bains à l'arnica dont les propriétés ne sont plus à prouver, par exemple en usage externe comme ici: traitement des contusions, foulures, chocs, hématomes, œdèmes et inflammations post-traumatiques. Rhumatologie : douleurs articulaires, douleurs musculaires, arthrose, arthrite, tendinites. Phlébologie : troubles veineux et phlébites, insuffisance veineuse et varices. Dermatologie : traitement des piqûres d'insectes, furoncles, dermatoses inflammatoires.......... et je confirme, on se sent beaucoup mieux après un bain et prêts à faire de beaux rêves ou plus ... après :) De plus il n'y a aucune coloration de la baignoire/douche ni de la peau et odeur agréable.

Spettacolare. Ottimo prodotto. Funziona bene e profuma e colora vene l'acqua. Prodotto di qualità, non è un sale da bagno di bassa qualità....
