Build A Soak That Actually Works

Temperature

Thirty-eight to forty degrees celsius. Warm enough to elevate peripheral temperature, not hot enough to spike heart rate.

Duration

Twenty minutes. Long enough for transdermal absorption and a nervous system shift, short enough to stay comfortable.

Mineral load

A full cup of magnesium-rich recovery soak per bath. Less and the effect is cosmetic. More and the water becomes uncomfortable.

The bath is the vehicle. The minerals are the protocol.

Timing

Ninety minutes before bed for sleep. Within sixty minutes of training for recovery. Never both in the same window.
