This product works absolute wonders on sore muscles. I use it after strenuous workouts or anytime my muscles ache. It affects a very noticeable difference, and 99% of the time my muscles do not hurt anymore by the time I get out of the bath. That is awesome!! It also works great when I have a sore neck, which I get occasionally simply from being at the computer too much. It has a lemony-menthol type of smell to it, which I do not find offensive, but as others have noted it was not intended to be a "foo foo", perfume-laden bath product. I have yet to find any other soak, salts or lotion that work as well on sore muscles as this product does.
I received Burt's Bees Therapeutic Bath Crystals - 1 lb as part of a Burt's Bee's grab bag assortment directly from Burt's Bees and loved it! This was a surprising find as it really did seem to have therapeutic properties and left me feeling refreshed after a hot soak. I have fibromyalgia so I'm always on the look out for products that ease some of the symptoms I deal with on a daily basis. This product is one I will add to my arsenal and encourage others to do the same. (*NOTE: I did get a bit of a burning sensation on my legs after using this product, but it went away in approximately two hours. Not painful, but slightly unpleasant and unexpected. My guess would be it may have been part of the 'therapeutic' action working in my muscles.)
This product is very easy on the skin and can be used buy pretty much anyone.
it packs a nose-popping smell that fills the area, and needs a while for the chunky pieces of salt to dissolve. Be careful, as I've run into some batches that do not dissolve all the way, leaving some gray specks in my tub that sort of burn the skin if the flecks land on you. This is one out of 3 cans that I've had of this product. Also, the canister will rust, so don't leave the canister out while bathing, or you'll have a rust-spotted can to hold your salts. I like the can! These are pretty well-priced salts and I always pick up a can if I see one while shopping. I don't think there's enough oil in them to moisturize skin if you soak in the bath for hours at a time.
This is a really strong medicinal-smelling product. I almost was overcome when I prised the can lid off. It feels good in the bath but I was not looking for such an odor....kind of puts me off my bath.
