Psoriasis and eczema are two common skin conditions that affect millions of people worldwide, causing discomfort, irritation, and often impacting self-esteem. An ancient spa healing treatment that has gained popularity in recent years is salt water bathing.

Saltwater, has long been believed to possess healing properties for the skin. 

• Natural Antiseptic Properties: Salt water contains minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which have natural antiseptic properties. When applied to the skin, salt water can help cleanse the affected areas, reducing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing.
• Exfoliation and Removal of Dead Skin Cells: The abrasive nature of salt water can act as a gentle exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells that can exacerbate psoriasis and eczema symptoms. Regular exposure to salt water can promote skin renewal, leading to smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.
• Reduction of Inflammation and Itching: The minerals present in saltwater have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe inflamed and itchy skin associated with psoriasis and eczema. Bathing in salt water or applying saltwater compresses can provide immediate relief from discomfort, allowing people to better manage their symptoms.
• Balancing Skin pH: Salt water has a pH level like that of the skin, making it an excellent natural remedy for restoring the skin's pH balance. By maintaining optimal pH levels, salt water can support the skin's barrier function, reducing moisture loss and preventing further irritation in psoriasis and eczema-prone skin.
• Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Bathing in salt water can be a therapeutic experience, offering both physical and mental relaxation. Stress is a common trigger for psoriasis and eczema flare-ups, so incorporating saltwater baths into a regular self-care routine can help with stress levels and overall wellbeing.

While saltwater therapy can provide relief for many psoriasis and eczema sufferers, it's important to consult with a dermatologist before trying any new treatment. Additionally, anyone with open wounds or broken skin should avoid prolonged exposure to salt water, as it may cause stinging or irritation.

Salt water can be a valuable addition to the skincare regimen of those living with psoriasis and eczema. Whether through regular ocean swims, salt water baths, or topical applications, incorporating salt water therapy may offer noticeable improvements in symptom management and overall skin health.
