salt bath

Therapeutic brine immersion

A salt bath is a soak in water saturated with salt, typically Epsom salts or sea salt, used for relaxation or to ease muscle soreness: I took a long salt bath after the marathon.

In industrial contexts, a salt bath is a container of molten salt used for heat-treating metals, providing precise temperature control for hardening or tempering.
