Rub Salt On Body

If you can’t get to an ocean or don’t want to, any plain salt is fine. Try it in the shower before you rinse off.

It has a lot of the same benefits of swimming in the ocean. I'm not sure of the mechanisms as to why salt on the skin ( even very briefly ) is so helpful, but it's not placebo. Nothing miraculous... just a very cheap and useful habit.

Yes, topical salt is often overlooked. A useful addition to Epsom baths - the combination of magnesium and sodium will replicate the energising experience of swimming in the sea. Great advice, thanks!

Also can mix salt, sugar and coconut oil and rub on body before shower
