Salt Glow

The ancient Romans developed physical measures for such treating minor and major illnesses, both acute and chronic, using various baths and massages.

Many of the techniques have been passed down to the present time, and one of their time-honored treatments is called the salt glow. It is an easy treatment to administer, either to oneself or to another person.

Increasing Circulation

There are a number of uses for the slat glow, beginning with the usual type of non-serious disorders such as fatigue, tension, or weakness. If you get up in the morning feeling unable to go to work try taking a salt glow and you will feel much better.

This technique works well for chronic indigestion, too. Many disorders such as constipations, heartburn, diarrhea, and other afflictions of the gastrointestinal tract can be normalized by means of a regularly applied salt glow.

Diabetics will find that their skin functions better as a storage depot for glucose following a meal and that their blood sugar level can be kept more constantly at a low and normal rate with regular application for the salt glow.

Although the salt glow should not be used on eczema and some other forms of skin disease, acne can be greatly helped by its application. If you have a cold, this can be one of the best ways to stimulate circulation and shorten its duration.

EASY TECHNIQUE

The technique for the salt glow is quite easy. Just fill a bowl with about a half-cup of medium fine salt (not as coarse as salt used in an ice cream churn, but more coarse than table salt).

Moisten the salt just enough so it sticks together slightly. Step into the shower and wet the body all over, then step out from under the water, but remain in the shower stall or tub.

Take about a teaspoon of moistened salt into the palm and rub hands together to evenly distribute it, then start rubbing the skin of one extremity (it is usually best to start with an arm.)

Rub the arm briskly up and down in a short fraction friction. Use another lump of salt to rub the abdomen, making sure the abdominal muscles are tight when doing so.

The procedure can be repeated until every portion of the body's skin has been covered. An assistant can treat the back, or a towel can be used, which has been rubbed with some of the salt to get the friction to the back.

When the entire body has been covered, take a cool shower, turning around in the water and rubbing the skin briskly with a coarse washcloth. After thirty seconds of cool rinsing, step out of the shower and take a brisk rubdown with a coarse towel.

After the salt glow, shower, and coarse towel rubdown, move quickly to bed and lie there for at least thirty minutes to enable the salt glow to “react.”

Be aware that failure to take this “reaction” rest period may result in nullifying much of the good effects of the salt glow, and may leave one susceptible to taking cold.
