Further Insights
Known as shinrin-yoku in Japan, forest bathing is the practice of slowing down and immersing yourself in nature through the senses—sight, sound, scent, and touch. While originally experienced in wild forests, the principles of forest bathing can be brought into the home through intentional rituals, calming environments, and plant-based aromatics.
The aroma of Japanese hinoki cypress and Siberian fir can help create space for pause—inviting you to breathe deeper, slow your pace, and return to the present moment. When combined with warm water and magnesium, this practice becomes a simple, restorative tool in your self-care routine.

FAQs
Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes are made with magnesium chloride, which offers a smooth, easily dissolvable soak and is known for its use in professional wellness settings. Epsom salts, composed of magnesium sulfate, are more commonly found in general retail and may vary in source and consistency.
Our flakes are sourced from the ancient Zechstein seabed, a protected and deeply buried natural deposit. By contrast, many Epsom salt brands do not disclose their source and may be packaged from various suppliers based on availability.
Ancient Minerals magnesium chloride is harvested from the Zechstein seabed, a deeply buried, ancient deposit in the Netherlands. This source has been protected from modern environmental exposure for millions of years, and is known for its consistency and quality.
We use only Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride, and every Ancient Minerals product carries the Genuine Zechstein mark—a reflection of its origin and mineral identity.
Magnesium baths have been used by families as a gentle self-care practice for children. For a small bath, many parents choose to add ½ to 1 cup of flakes to warm water, adjusting as needed based on the child’s age and comfort level.

As with any personal care practice, frequency can be adjusted based on your individual needs and preferences.
