Just wondering, what would happen if you were to put normal salt (eg. not sea salt made for baths) into your bathing water? would it disturb your ph balance ect?

Sea salt is a general term for salt produced by evaporation of ocean water or water from saltwater lakes. It is less processed than table salt and retains trace minerals. Basically, salt is salt. ref: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/sea-salt/faq-20058512#
