Bath salt bricks

The bathhouse is a unique health-improving place that allows you to restore the vitality of the body. To enhance the healing properties of this room, specialists use not only aromatic oils and special bath brooms, but also salt products. Salt bricks have a special positive effect, which can be part of both wall and floor decor. Every year this material is gaining more and more popularity due to its unique properties that help to get rid of a huge number of diseases.

Salt brick is a unique natural mineral that has bactericidal properties and allows you to create a unique wellness indoor microclimate. Himalayan salt can be pink, black and red-orange in color. Most of this mineral rock is mined in the Himalayan Canyon, but small deposits can be found in other countries. Experts recommend paying attention to the chemical composition of the salt mineral:

• sodium chloride;
• iron;
• calcium;
• magnesium;
• copper;
• potassium.

Due to the fact that an increased level of humidity in a room can provoke a chemical reaction between moisture and salt, experts recommend that the humidity level should not be exceeded by more than 55 percent, and the salt masonry should be located directly near the heat source. To improve the microclimate in the wellness room and prevent the appearance of plaque on products, it is necessary to regularly renew the air, and during construction, provide for a high-quality ventilation system.

The positive effect of salt bricks is due to the action of negatively charged particles, which have a detrimental effect on pathogenic microflora and dangerous microorganisms. The use of any remedy has both positive and negative sides. Salt bricks are no exception, which have the following positive properties:

• disinfecting effect;
• environmental Safety;
• positive effect on the regeneration of the skin;
• resistance to high temperature conditions and sharp temperature fluctuations;
• airspace ionization;
• absolute sterility.

Inhalation of salt vapors restores the water-salt balance, removes toxins from the body, relieves headaches, improves blood circulation, restores the digestive system, and also reduces pain in the joints and muscles.

But under certain circumstances, the body can be harmed.

The high level of demand for this finishing material made of Himalayan salt pushed manufacturers to produce various forms of materials that differ in size, weight and price range. In hardware stores, you can see the following categories of materials:

• brick;
• tile;
• blocks;
• cubes;
• panels.

Often, novice craftsmen, when decorating a steam room in a bath or sauna, are faced with the problem of inconsistency in the dimensions of the salt decor, which simply cannot be used on the planned site. Experts recommend slightly changing the shape of the product using a grinder on which a stone disc is installed.

It is necessary to cut off unnecessary elements as carefully as possible, since the salt product may simply crumble during operation. There should be no metal work tools in the working area, on which salt dust can be deposited. Dusty deposits will certainly provoke corrosive processes that will lead to damage to the metal.

During the cutting process, strong pressure should be avoided, and the edge of the product should not hang in the air. It is best to lay the brick on a thick wooden board. You can also use a drill if necessary. After completing the work, all tools must be thoroughly cleaned.

You can decorate the bath room with salt products both independently and with the help of specialists. It is strictly forbidden to use classic cement mortars. To glue the blocks together, experts recommend making the fixing glue yourself. The correct solution should consist of the following components:

• caustic magnesite - 3 parts;
• liquid glass - 1 part;
• tile glue - 1 part;
• magnesium chloride - 5 parts.

To obtain the maximum effect, it is necessary to initially dissolve the salt and only then add all the auxiliary elements.

The main disadvantage of this composition is a short drying period, and an indisputable advantage is an economical consumption and a high level of fixation.

The technique of laying salt products is almost similar to the standard procedure, but has a number of nuances:

• applying the solution in an even and thin layer;
• the possibility of correcting the masonry no later than 3 hours after the start of work;
• use of the premises for its intended purpose only after 72 hours.

To create a calm and peaceful atmosphere, experts recommend combining salt compositions with LED lighting. To adjust the brightness of the light, it is imperative to provide special electrical controls.

You can also put useful minerals in the area of ​​fireplaces, the increased temperature of which will help enhance the positive effect and achieve maximum results.

The unfavorable environmental situation in the modern world is increasingly provoking the appearance of dangerous diseases in its inhabitants, which are almost impossible to get rid of. To heal the body and restore vitality, people during the holidays go to various resorts and sanatoriums, staying in which requires not only time, but also financial resources. You can create a healing relaxation area in the house with the help of salt Himalayan minerals, which are best used for decorating baths and saunas. It is this resting place that will help get rid of and prevent the development of a large number of diseases and restore vital energy after strenuous workdays. The most important thing is to follow the recommendations of specialists in the process.
