Story
There is no secret in the unusual name of this medicinal salt.
The thing is that it is produced by evaporation from waters taken from healing springs located in Karlovy Vary.
Karlovy Vary itself is a vast resort town, a meeting place for people who want to improve their health and just have a good time surrounded by picturesque landscapes.
Back in 1620, thermal salt could be easily found in any local pharmacy. In 1718, the greedy Czechs banned the export of salt and water taken from healing springs outside the country. The export of this medicinal product was allowed only in 1764, but there was no particular benefit from this decision. The production capacity and technical resources of those years were simply not enough for high-quality and large-scale salt evaporation work. At that time, geyser salt was not particularly in demand, because the effect of it was very, very symbolic.
Karlovy Vary. Geyser is a hot spring. People rush for water. Engraving from 1652.
It was only in 1882 that Carlsbad salt began to be produced on an industrial scale. And only very recently, special equipment was integrated into the production of medicinal products, which allows preserving all the beneficial minerals that the Karlovy Vary springs are so rich in in salt. This means that water in which mineral salt is dissolved is practically no different in its usefulness from water taken directly from a Czech source. In general, all business and busy people now don’t have to waste time on an inspired holiday in noble green landscapes; it’s enough to buy a box of salt, and all the benefits of the miraculous waters of Karlovy Vary will be in a mug with previously ordinary water.
In 1882, the evaporation of salt in Karlovy Vary began with terrible force and took on an industrial scale.

HEALING BATHS USING CARL BAR SALT
Treatment with mineral water baths is called balneotherapy. Balneotherapy includes bathing, showering, inhalation, etc. The therapeutic effect of balneotherapeutic procedures is based mainly on reflex and humoral mechanisms, in other words, through the nervous system and blood. Baths with natural Karlovy Vary salt have a more pronounced healing effect than baths from fresh water, and have an analgesic, calming effect, have a local and general anti-inflammatory effect, cause changes in general blood flow that are beneficial for many diseases (increase the return of venous blood, increase cardiac output and heart rate), and also contribute to increased metabolic processes in the skin (cosmetic effect) and internal organs. To prepare a bath, add 25-50 g of salt to water at a temperature of 37-38 degrees. The salt is placed in a linen bag and lowered into the bath. After the salt has completely dissolved, the bath is ready. The average bath time is no more than 15-20 minutes. It must be remembered that people with skin diseases should consult their doctor before taking mineral baths. Many famous actresses and fashion models regularly take mineral water baths to preserve the youth and beauty of their skin. Mineral baths can not only maintain beauty, but also effectively restore health. Carlsbad salt does not contain substances foreign to the body. This is important in our time, saturated with chemistry; moreover, Carlsbad salt is a source of micro- and macroelements for your body. When using natural Karlovy Vary salt as a food additive, it is recommended to add a small amount of salt to dishes during cooking.

Reviews
People who have already tried this method of treatment note that the taste of real waters from the source in Karlovy Vary and their salt analogue are very different. However, there is an effect, and this is not just empty fabrications and self-hypnosis. The effect of the famous salts is confirmed by the results of medical tests. The effect is not as stunning as cunning advertisers are trying to convince us, but it cannot be denied. Among the disadvantages, people noted the fact that undergoing the full course of treatment is quite dreary, which is not surprising, because walking through a picturesque area to a source and drinking a medicinal drink at home is a pleasure (in the case of drinking water prepared with salt, we take the word “pleasure” in quotes), even those that are incomparable with each other.
Hiking to the source is a pleasure.
However, taking a bath with Carlsbad salt is an incomparable pleasure: complete relaxation, rest, and an undeniable beneficial effect.
And taking medicinal baths is a pleasure.
The main advantages of Carlsbad salt are its versatility and undoubted beneficial effects. It should also be noted that there are significant savings in money. Healthy products from Karlovy Vary are not cheap at all, but the investment, relative to the cost of a trip to this Czech resort city, is quite minimal and justified, given the healing effect. However, not just salt, even if it is from Karlovy Vary. In the treatment of serious diseases, Carlsbad salt is an excellent adjuvant, but basic medications must be prescribed by a doctor.

Properties
Natural Carlsbad salt is, to put it in abstruse language, a natural bicarbonate-sulfate sodium chloride salt. But all these hard-to-read names are not so important. It is important that this healing agent helps to get rid of a number of diseases and disorders and is perfectly absorbed by the body, because the composition of salt is as similar as possible to the composition of macro- and microelements in the human body. It contains 40 unique elements, including rare earth ones.
Hydrocarbonate-sulfate sodium chloride deposits on the source column are exactly what you think.
The active substances of Carlsbad salt include hydrocarbonate ions, chlorine ions, sulfate ions, sodium cations, calcium ions. Each of these elements has a beneficial effect on certain organs of the body.
And here in this beautiful bottle is exactly the same thing, only for sale.
How to cleanse the intestines with salt water at home?
To cleanse the intestines at home, it is important to prepare salt, 3-4 liters of warm purified water, and a gymnastic mat. If an enema cleansing is planned, then prepare a large pear or Esmarch mug.
The basic rules for cleaning a home are::
- The water should be warm, comfortable for the intestinal mucous membranes;
- Studying a set of exercises that relaxes the muscles of the intestinal valves and washes all its parts;
- 1 cleaning every 4 months is enough;
- Careful approach to salt selection.
The salt content in the solution should be exactly enough to compensate for the loss of sodium in the blood, but in no case should it exceed it.
Instructions for use (method and dosage)
- The instructions for the salt say that before use it should be dissolved in half a glass of water and taken on an empty stomach once a day. When preparing saline solutions for oral administration, it should be taken into account that the salt concentration should not exceed 0.5%. You should drink the prepared water through a special straw in small sips.
- You can also add a small amount of salt when cooking.
- If Carlsbad mineral water is used, the minimum daily dosage for drinking is 400-500 ml. For medical reasons, the daily dosage can be increased to 1500 ml. Mineral water should be taken throughout the day, the total daily dosage is divided into 2-4 doses. The average duration of treatment is 4-5 weeks or more.
- The instructions for Carlsbad salt also recommend its external use in the form of lotions, compresses, general baths and local baths.
Treatment using baths with mineral water is called “balneotherapy”. The therapeutic effect of balneotherapeutic procedures is mainly due to the reflex and humoral mechanism (i.e., carried out through the blood and nervous system). In practice, it has been proven that baths with natural Carlsbad salt have a pronounced healing effect and have a calming, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effect. Also, under the influence of such baths, a change in the general blood flow occurs, which is extremely useful for certain diseases of the cardiovascular system. Such baths are also useful from a cosmetological point of view, as they help activate metabolic processes in the skin and rejuvenate it.
You can prepare such a therapeutic bath at home; to do this, add 25-50 grams of salt to warm water at 37-38°C (the salt should first be placed in a linen bag and lowered into the bath in this form). You should take a bath for 15-20 minutes.
Storage conditions and periods
Carlsbad salt of natural origin can be stored indefinitely in dry rooms with a constant air temperature in the range of 22-27 degrees.
It does not spoil even when frozen, but heating can lead to a slight change in its chemical composition. Industrially produced salt is recommended to be stored under the same conditions, but it loses its beneficial properties after just 2 years.
If storage standards are not observed, Carlsbad salt may change its composition and lose its healing properties earlier. It can be disposed of with household waste, avoiding contact with wastewater or soil.
pharmachologic effect
Carlsbad salt, produced in the pharmaceutical industry, is a saline laxative. This product produces a choleretic effect and is also a substitute for Karlovy Vary geyser salt.
If Carlsbad salt is dissolved in water, you get mineral medicinal table water. Properties of salt:
- Hydrocarbonate ions are aimed at improving the secretion of the stomach, small intestine, liver, and also stimulate motor and acid-forming functions. These substances can reduce the amount of uric acid and also promote its rapid removal from the body. Thanks to the ions of Carlsbad salt, water dilutes phlegm, as a result of which it is better eliminated.
- Chlorine ions contained in Carlsbad salt, interacting with oxygen, stimulate the production of intestinal juice. In addition, ions have a direct effect on tooth growth.
- Sulfate ions accelerate the process of food transfer from the stomach to the small intestine, increase the tone of the gallbladder muscles, and also help to thicken the walls of blood vessels and reduce the amount of mucus and intracellular water in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Sodium cations, which are contained in Karlovy Vary geyser salt, promote the removal of water from the body by the kidneys.
- Calcium ions increase blood clotting, improve the excitability of brain neurons, as well as skeletal muscles.
Directions for use and dosage
The use of Carlsbad salt can be of two types: external and internal. It can serve as a supplement as a strengthening and healing agent. When used internally, salt is used to treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as to treat internal secretion organs, urolithiasis and cholelithiasis.
When applied externally, Carlsbad salt is used to treat diseases of the cardiovascular system, nervous system and some skin diseases.
- As a laxative effect on the body, it is recommended to use a solution containing 1 spoon of Carlsbad salt in half a glass of water. You should drink it 30-45 minutes before meals.
- For a choleretic effect, experts advise drinking a glass of water in which 1 spoon of salt is dissolved. The “drink” should have a temperature of no more than 45 degrees. The daily dose of such water is 2 glasses. The course of treatment is generally 3 weeks.
- For chronic gastritis, it is necessary to take a 0.5-1 percent saline solution. The water temperature should be 30-60 degrees.
- For stomach ulcers, you should use a 1.5 percent solution. Temperature 30-45 degrees.
- For cirrhosis, a 1.5 percent solution is prescribed. The temperature of the drink is 45 degrees.
- Carlsbad salt can be used for baths at the rate of 4 teaspoons per liter of water. Session time is 20-30 minutes. After a person has taken a salt bath, he should rinse his body well with running water.
If a person does not know how much to take Carlsbad salt, it is necessary to consult a specialist. Instructions for treatment are individual and vary depending on the person’s disease.
