How it's used
Primarily associated with relaxation and self care, this term is almost exclusively used in the context of spa treatments or home bathing rituals. While it refers to mineral salts, it is distinct from culinary salts and should never be confused with ingredients used for cooking.

Common mistake
Be careful not to confuse this with illicit synthetic drugs, which are sometimes referred to as bath salts in English media, as the Cantonese term 浴鹽 strictly refers to the toiletry product for bathing.
