Kneipp Joint & Muscle Mineral Bath Salt with Arnica - Rejuvenate Joints & Muscles - 17.6 oz - Up to 10 Baths

These bath salts are ALWAYS on my wishlists! The scent of lavender is strong, but the hops and other herbs add an ineffable scent that is deeply relaxing and pleasant. Every member of my family above the age of two uses and enjoys this product. It turns the bath water a lovely slightly deeper shade of the blue seen in the photo. I often add Epsom or Magnesium salts if using this for muscle aches, as alone it is not as helpful, perhaps simply because there isn't enough salt in a 'serving,' and for this purpose, it makes a muscle soothing soak much more pleasant (there is evidence in medical studies of high repute that salt baths are very helpful for muscle aches and pains - I will share references on this when I have a bit more time.) The bath also seems to soothe toddler rashes and leaves my adult skin very smooth and soft. Lotion and plain coconut or olive oil twenty minutes after the bath, as directed, seems to extend this softness better than either bath or moisturizer alone. It is expensive stuff - though it can be found for about $13/pound at times, and I personally buy several when there is a good price - for gifts as well was my family. Other plain salts, as mentioned, 'stretch' the product, and adding some of the Valerian and Hops bath liquid ('oil') to this intensifies the scent, so less can be used. The liquid version can be added to Epsom salt or similar as well, and while the color is not as intense, the scent permeates the plain salt very nicely after a few days. This salt, even at $18, is a worthwhile splurge and makes a great gift. I have tried to replicate the scent, and can't - mine smells like lavender only, and is not economical for the amount of herb and/or essential oil used - I have used 'healthier' food coloring and made an acceptable colored bath, but simply can't make something that compares to Kneipp. I have used this in sachets for bedclothes and pjs, and love the result, though the drawer does absorb the smell more than the cloth. I have also put simply cotton headbands that I wear to bed into the jar, and the scent is strong and long-lasting. I did once use a bit for homemade deodorant, but the color was a problem, so I will stick with essential oil only for that purpose. Note ending my newer reviews - tips on SAVINGS, or 'Why I buy just about everything on Amazon": Join an Amazon program like "Mom" or "Student" for discounts & other savings, even free Prime for a full year, there are many programs and everyone I know meets the requirements for at least one of them; Take advantage of Subscribe and Save AND the option to order five items for the same delivery for 20% savings or more; Read the fine print as savings often hide there, including promo codes; Check popular websites for promo codes, I have saved 40% off and gotten items for less than a dollar with all savings combined, in the time it took to type/read/write; Check other vendors, spellings, and especially departments as price vary wildly on some items and things sometimes don't appear in an all departments search; always click the 'Specials' on Amazon as they may not appear on product pages; consider the pantry program, especially if you don't have Prime; set price alerts on other websites as Amazon vendors are quick to respond to reductions anywhere. Forgive me if this is tedium, but I used to be guilty of one-click-2 AM-ordering, and these ideas have given me much more purchasing power with very little effort or time commitment.

The product is fabulous. It smells great and is very soothing and I love the way it colors the bath water.I had to put it in a new container, because it came all crunched up. It was no big deal, because the product was not damaged.

Spectacular! Nothing compares to Kneipp bath experience. Absolute healing loveliness. Whole body soaks within water infused with Kneipp mineral salts cannot get any better. Makes the best gift for ultimate revitalization and nourishing calm.

works great very relaxing made my muscles feel great and I slept great the night I took a bath with this

The "Deep Breathe Pine & Fir" mineral salts by Kneipp make a for a great soak! Because reviews have been mixed I had my doubts, but having faith in German-made products, I decided to give it a try. Following my typical procedure, I added the salts as I started to fill the tub. The aroma filled the room with the light scent of an evergreen forest, just as you find on a hike. Nothing overpowering nor artifical. 5-stars. As to the soak itself, absolutely perfect! Soothing, relaxing, all crystals completely dissolved, and again the aroma remained light and natural. I spent 30-minutes in the soak, and really did not want to get out. 5-stars. As to ingredients, all natural mineral salts, natural pure essential oils, and natural surfactants. The only negative I have is the last two ingredients: artificial dyes, blue and yellow. These are here simply to create the green color. While I admit, the green bathwater is visually appealing, I wish the makers would delete these last two ingredients from their otherwise all-natural recipe. 3-stars. Overall rating 4-stars. On a side note, the product did NOT stain my tub. Also, the product is returnable, being no different than just about everything else purchased through Amazon. Do I recommend "Kneipp Deep Breathe Pine & Fir" mineral salts? Yes! Did I subscribe for regular shipments? Yes!

Everything about this is dreamy! From the tranquil blue it tints the water to its totally euphoric scent, it soothes the senses. It seems to have some notes of soft lemon balm - a smooth, sweet, relaxingly joyous citrus note - not a sharp one. Kind of like candy lemon balm dryer sheets, but clean and fresh, not cloying. I love that I can smell this down the hall after my bath. It’s a bit spendy, but an absolute high quality product. Worth investing in. It really uplifts the mood and enhances a calming soak. My favorite bath oil!

If you have sore muscles, this is the best thing you can get to soak your pain away. Arnica penetrates to those deep spasms and soothes the soreness away. Also great for joint pain. I’ve repurchased this bath soak so many times - mostly because I’ve come to find an empty container. It has become a staple in home.

Smells nice, works well for light aches in a hot bath.
