Taking sea salt bath for eczema

I have been reading about sea salt bath. So when I hurried past a stall that was selling dead sea salt bath, I stopped to look. The lady told me that dead sea salt bath is great for detox and for people with eczema or skin disorders.

The method of use? Put two large tablespoons in warm water. Do not use hot boiling water as that will scald the skin. Then, soak feet for half an hour. After that, pat dry with a towel.

I bought one large jar back to try. Unfortunately, my bathroom did not come equipped with a bathtub. So, instead of using a shallow pail, I used a deep pail so that I can almost completely soak the lower part of my legs in it.

I must say that the sea salt bath on my legs and feet gave me a very relaxing feeling. Did the bath help to reduce my itch? I thought it did so slightly but there was no objective measure to prove it. Still, I will continue to use sea salt bath and add it to myarsenal of natural detoxifying methods.
