The 19th century was the golden age for the Swiss spas. People crowded to the pearl of spa resorts. Its salt waters were reputed to be helpful in the treatment of more than fifty ailments, including rheumatism, osteoarthritis and anaemia.
To bring the salt water to Swiss spas, more than two hundred years ago, an aqueduct measuring 7,500 metres was constructed of larch wood.
Toward 1820 Grand Hôtel des Bains was opened and later, in 1871, the Hôtel des Salines. In 1882, a lead pipe brought sulphurous waters directly from the Coulat tunnel to the Baths at Hôtel des Salines.
Body Caring
External Uses
For local external applications, salt has beneficial properties, notably against inflammation of the throat and nose. Salt water (brine) frees the clogged nose and decongestions the mucous membranes. Salt water baths have also demonstrated their effectiveness over the centuries.
Baths in salt water are useful notably in the successful treatment of rheumatism, sciatica, gout, accidental injuries, after-effects of paralysis, gynaecological problems, heart problems, respiratory tract diseases and various skin complaints. The salts used in therapeutic baths are on sale in pharmacies, but their use is recommended only after consulting a specialist, and always scrupulously keeping to the prescribed dose.
Salt can be found in many bath and cosmetic products. Sel des Alpes® is an essential ingredient in our wellness products. Free from pollution, it offers your skin the purest form of care.
Alps Salt
Sel des Alpes® specially produced for Wellness applications
This salt is extracted from the heart of the Alps of Vaud, from a deposit that was formed when the sea covering Switzerland 200 million years ago evaporated. It was later buried under the mountains at the time when the Alps were formed. Since then, it has maintained its purity and original richness. This salt is extracted from its deposit by dissolution in pure spring water, coming from the Anzeindaz Glacier, which is then evaporated. Its crystallization in round balls, with a diameter between 0.1 and 0.5 mm, makes it an ideal base substance for all types of treatments, including peelings and other applications. It easily dissolves in water.
Especially suitable for baths, peelings, or other wellness applications, it is also used as a raw material in crafts and the cosmetic industry. This salt, although not intended as human food, is classified food grade quality.
