Any Good Recommendations For Bath Bombs For Soothing Baths For RA?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Lexington, KY

I'm allergic to coconut, and I'm done paying over $10 for a single Lush bath bomb. I find generic Amazon lots risky, and I generally don't care about flashy dye and glitter. Recs welcome.

For soothing baths to help with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), consider the following recommendations:

- Epsom Salt Baths: Many people with RA find relief with Epsom salt baths. You can add a couple of cups of Epsom salt to your bathwater. This is a cost-effective option and avoids allergens like coconut.

- Dead Sea Salt Show Full Answer

- Dead Sea Salt Baths: Dead Sea salts are known to help with RA symptoms such as morning stiffness and grip strength. They can be a beneficial alternative to traditional bath bombs.

- DIY Bath Bombs: You can make your own bath bombs at home using ingredients like baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salts, and essential oils (avoiding coconut oil). This way, you control the ingredients and avoid allergens.

- Mineral Baths: Mineral baths, such as those with magnesium or other beneficial minerals, can also be soothing. These can be found in various forms, including bath salts and soaks.

Always ensure you can safely get in and out of the tub, and consult with your rheumatologist or an occupational therapist if you have any concerns about bathing safety.

Adapting your shower to include a bench and steam generator might be a good alternative to a bathtub. Were in the middle of a renovation of our bathrooms and went the steam route.

I’m looking forward to retirement when I can afford one of those walk-in tubs. Just a year or so away I cannot get up and out of the bathtub one of the normal bathtubs because of the rheumatoid arthritis that help so much.

It costs a little more but I find the Elemis musclease bath soak very soothing for aromatherapy and good for fatigue in the larger joints.

AP,
Well, you can see our new AI found what many of us use, Epsom Salts. I prefer the Lilac scented.
Also, since the Holidays are here, Aramis makes a bath additive, for men, but I love using it when I want something relaxing and longer lasting.
