Your skin is an excretive organ that mirrors the condition of your intestines. When you take a salt bath, salt minerals penetrate your skin in form of ions. This stimulation will cause natural cell growth in your living cell layers.

When water and salt combine, the positive ions of the salt surround the negative ions of the water molecules and the negative ions of the salt surround the positive ions of the water molecules. The ions become hydrolyzed and the geometrical structure of the salt and the water is changed to form a completely new structure.

In this process called hydration, the biophotons (photons emitted spontaneously by all living systems) stored in the crystal salt are set free in the brine, which occurs without any additional energy. This is pure hydration energy.

Salt is also a natural disinfectant. To get the full benefits of a therapeutic salt bath, the right salt concentration is critical. The salt concentration has to be at least the same as the one of your body fluids (approximately 1%) to activate the osmotic exchange ratio.

To avoid using body energy to balance the temperature, the water should be approximately 37° Celsius (97° Fahrenheit). Your bath will remain at a constant temperature because the biophysical composition of the salt is so strong – it causes the molecules to move in a constant rhythm.

Using The BedTx System takes the guesswork out of salt bathing. Simply wheel the BedTx up to the bed with the salt bath components in place and go! Our system is designed to calibrate the correct salt levels and maintain proper temperatures.

While anyone can benefit from a salt bath, it is particularly soothing for those with:

· Various skin diseases
· Rheumatoid and joint diseases
· A post-operative care regimen
· Gynecological diseases
· Recurring infections
· Severe insect bites, blisters or wounds
· Skin irritations from poison oak, ivy or sumac

During your bath, the temperature and the makeup of the salt bath is comparable to the amniotic fluid in which the embryo floats in the prenatal state.

No need to shower off, simply dry off with a towel.
After your salt bath, you should rest for at least 30 minutes.

*WARNING: While brine baths have a positive effect on many ailments, they are also demanding on your circulatory system. If you suffer from weak or poor heart circulation, always consult your doctor first.

Caring for a sick or disabled loved one can be stressful. The physical and emotional demands of caring for  another can take a serious toll on the body, mind and relationships. In addition, there can be added financial strain if caring for a loved one at home.

If you are not sleeping well, if you interactions with friends and family or coworkers seem strained, if you find yourself exhausted, feeling hopeless and depressed, you need to consider the possibility you might be  burning out. The good news is that you are not alone. There are resources and help available for caregivers.

Here are a few  things you can do to combat caregiver burnout:

Part 1 – Using a Professional Agency

Mealtime can often be a challenge for people with dementia and their caregivers.  Honing in on the specific reasons why can help you develop a plan to reduce or eliminate mealtime stress.

Sometimes medical problems can interfere with appetite. A sore mouth, an upset stomach, a reaction to a new medication, or a problem with denture fit can all add to eating difficulties.

Once you are sure these  or any other medical problem are not the cause, it may be time to look at other contributing factors.

Try to avoid power struggles over meals. This is not a good time to find out just how deeply your patient can dig in their heels. Rather than coaxing or chastising during a meal,  use these tips to set up a strategy to make mealtime successful and stress-free:
