Detox With A Bath

Starting out with good intentions is what the New Year brings, and the essential detox is a must after the party season. Chocolates, cookies, wine, champagne and any other alcoholic drink you have consumed within this time frame needs to be flushed out of your system.

There are many products on the market that you can buy that will help to draw these toxins out of your body. Some of these products come in pill form, liquid form and even in patch forms. But they aren’t the only ways you can rid your body of toxins.

You can also rid your body of some of these toxins, with a hot, relaxing bath.

Yes, a detox bath is the simplest way to eliminate toxins and excess fat you have gained over the festive seasons. Doesn’t it sound more fun to relax in a hot tub of water than swallowing a bunch of pills or following some strict detox diet? Plus, it is easier.

In this Detox Bath, we will use detoxifying ingredients that will benefit your well being. However, if you have high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes, do not take a detox bath without consulting your health practitioner.

How Detox Bath Work?

The hot water will pull the toxins to the surface of your skin. Then as the water begins to cool, the poisons will slowly begin to seep out of your body. To ensure effective elimination of poison from your body, we will use the following detoxifying ingredients.

Ingredients You Neednn * 1 cup (250 ml) of dead sea saltsn * 2 cups of baking sodan * 1 cup of Epsom saltn * Essential oil ( 10 drop of grapefruit essential oil , 10 drops of juniper and 4 drops of helichrysum )

Steps

1. Combine the above ingredients into a jar.

2. Set the tone for your bath. Light some candles. Play some soft music. Make sure you have time to enjoy your bath. Also make sure you have drinking water on hand, near the tub.

3. Begin drawing the hot water into your tub. Make the water as hot as you can stand. The hotter the water the more toxins will be removed. Yet, you do not want to burn yourself. At the same time, pour in the ingredients that you have stored in the jar (step 1).

4. Stay in the tub as long as you can. A good twenty to thirty minute soaking is preferred. As you are soaking, drink some water, to help keep you from becoming dehydrated.

5. You can also use a loofah sponge on your skin as you are soaking; to help kneed the toxins to the top of your skin and eventually on out of your body.

6. After your bath, you may also want to rub some moisturizer onto your skin to prevent dryness.
