These Alba Pura bath water dechlorinator salts remove ALL chlorine from your bathing and washing water. Using a bath water dechlorinator can be particularly useful for those with asthma & eczema, psoriasis and multiple chemical sensitivity but some types of bath dechlorinators and water dechlorinator give off zinc - this product contains no zinc. Sometimes there is so much residual chlorine present in tap water that you can even SMELL it. Almost anywhere in the U.K. (and many other countries), if you pour a hot bath and lean over it as it fills, your nose will pick up the bleachy smell of chlorine, something not always immediately obvious in a glass of the same water served cold. The removal of this residual chlorine is important for two main reasons.
(1) Chlorine is added to tap water to kill harmful bacteria and other
micro-organisms and even at the normal levels of a few parts per million,
is extremely aggressive and effective in this role. Chlorine will also kill
the ‘good’ bacteria on the surface of your skin – bacteria
that we all rely on for continued health and well being and which have evolved
in symbiosis with humans over millions of years. Healthy skin has around
32 million bacteria per sq. inch; and these good bacteria help to control
the presence of ‘bad’ bacteria, yeasts like candida and other
troublesome micro-organisms; to upset this delicate balance can lead to
problems such as itchy, flaky skin, eczema, psoriasis, sweat rash, dandruff,
multiple chemical sensitivity, aquagenic pruritis (itchy skin caused solely
by bathing in water) and persistently irritated skin. The use of these bath
water dechlorinator salts (dechlorinator bath salts, dechlorinator bath
salts) helps maintain a normal and healthy skin flora and so avoid these
problems.
(2) Recent studies by, amongst others, Imperial College London and by
Belgian scientists, have linked exposure to such trace amounts of chlorine
gas with the exponential growth of the incidence of ASTHMA in children in
the western world. Asthma is now of epidemic proportions! At the time of
writing there were 20,000 related documents linking asthma to chlorine on
the internet! When used for drinking, bottled or filtered water may be the
answer, but for bathing/washing purposes the use of these bath water dechlorinator
salts remove ALL such inhalation and contact risk. One pack is sufficient
for approximately 90-100 baths. Entirely non-toxic. Can be used with any
other products. Ideal for those with multiple chemical sensitivity.
