3 easy recipes for a Detox Bath
/Who doesn't love a steamy... hot.... relaxing bath after a long stressful day?! Even better, what if I told you, you can make that bath even more enjoyable by detoxing!
Detoxing (short for detoxifying) is a way in which you remove toxic substances from the body. This could include poisonous substances, impurities, etc.
Here are 3 natural recipes that are simple and inexpensive to try that can boost how you feel (and maybe) improve on your health!
Salt Detox Bath Recipe
- 1/4 cup Sea Salt
- 1/4 cup Epsom Salt
- 1/4 cup Baking Soda
- 1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- Favorite essential oil
Dissolve Salts and baking soda in boiling water and put in a jar and set aside. Fill tub with warm/hot water and add apple cider vinegar. Pour salt mix in and add essential oils.
Soak in bath for at least 30 minutes. Please Note by doing a detox bath, you may feel tired or lightheaded when you get out.
This bath is great for soothing skin irritation, boosting magnesium levels and overall detoxing.
Clay Detox Bath Recipe
- 1/2 cup bentonite clay
- 1/2 cup epsom salts
- essential oils if desired
Dissolve the epsom salts in a warm/hot bath and add essential oils if desired.
For the clay, you have two options:
- Using a PLASTIC SPOON, vigorously mix clay with a small amount of water until the clumps are mostly dissolved. Add mix to bath and soak for at least 20 minutes.
- Mix clay with a small amount of water to make a paste and stand in the tub with water and rub the mix over your body creating a mask and let dry for at least 5 minutes before sitting down. Soak in the bath for at least 20 minutes and wipe off any remaining clay.
This bath is good because the clay binds to heavy metals and epsom salt help to pull a toxins from the body while restoring magnesium levels.
Oxygen Detox Bath Recipe
- 1.5 cups of Hydrogen Peroxide
- 1 Tablespoon dried Ginger Powder
Fill the tub with warm/hot water and add the hydrogen peroxide and dried Ginger. Soak for at least 30 minutes.
This can help during a cold because the ginger helps clear congestion and/or alleviate body aches. It can also be helpful for allergies or skin irritation.
