DETOX BATH
Being the busy person you are, it may be tough to get away for 20+ minutes to fully enjoy these relaxing moments in a bathtub...but try to, especially when you may be stressed, inflamed, or at your wits end. Just by living, our bodies take on an enouramous amount of toxins - the air we breathe, the food we eat, the environment we live in with fragrances, plastics, pollution, and so forth. Grab some of these natural ingreidents you may have around the house and throw them into the tub (mindfully and carefully) of enticing hot water so you can be your best and rid your body of these toxins. Plus, you may also relax your mind to give yourself a full escape.
​
I like to surround myself with the right ambiance...light a few non-fragrance candles, use my glass diffusor with essential oils, and play some classical music or meditate with prayer.
​
Before and after the bath, please rehydrate yourself with some water, immune splash, lemon water, electrolytes or any of these top 24 hydrating foods, and move throughout the rest of the day with gentleness & ease.
PREPARATION
-
Fill your bathtub with hot water to your liking.
-
Add the Epsom Salt, Baking Soda, and Borax (if using) and allow it to dissolve some, you may need to swish the water around to get it started. Be careful of your eyes when pouring in, recommend to wear eye protection.
-
Optional to add essential oils to the bathtub. I like to add them to a diffusor for ease of cleaning the tub & to not destroy the essential oils in the heat.
-
Play some amazing music to soothe your soul and allow your body to relax!
-
Right before you step into this relaxing bath, try dry brushing to help stimulate the lymphatic system to further support the release of toxins in your body.
-
Enjoy for a minimum of 15-20 minutes to release the toxins.
-
Please drink plenty of water before and after the bath as it may cause dehydration & potential other signs such as dizziness
**The heat from the hot water, can alter the essential oils + is not suitable for everyone (those with skin sensitives, pregnant, nursing, children under 10 years old)
