I first heard about detox baths on pinterest several months ago and i immediately fell in love with them! It makes your skin feel really soft and your entire body feels relaxed. It's a perfect way to ease tense muscles! Men love them too! (esp after a long day at work)
what you'll need
2 cups epsom salt
1-2 cups baking soda
1-2 table spoon ginger (optional, makes you sweat more)
few drops essential oil (i use lavender)
magazine or book
Before you do this, make sure you are hydrated!!! Draw a warm (make sure it's not too hot) bath and dump all of the above in. Swish around to dissolve salt and soak for 40 minutes. Your body releases bad toxins in your body through sweat and absorbs the nutrients and minerals in the water. After your bath you can either pat yourself dry or rinse off in the shower with a natural soap that has no perfumes, dyes or chemicals. I use Dr. Bronners lavender castile soap. Moisturize with a natural product such as shea butter or coconut oil and once again hydrate yourself!
