Detox baths are great for helping you to look and feel healthier. Foot detox is also a great idea to help revive tired feet.
Particularly now since summer is officially in full swing, keeping your feet healthy is a must especially if you tend to go out in sandals, flip-flops or even barefoot.
Nothing is more relaxing than a warm bath… except perhaps a relaxing warm detox bath that also helps cleanse the body…
Seriously- these detox baths will help remove toxins from the body and they also tend to make you tired so I suggest doing them before bed!
If you struggle with toxins or skin issues these natural recipes are a simple, easy and inexpensive way to boost health! I’m always up for a warm bath, and these natural add-ons help improve health while you relax!
SALT DETOX BATH RECIPE
- 1 cup of Epsom salt – this is a common ingredient found in detox baths
- 1 cup of sea salt
- 2 cups of baking soda
Salt Detox Bath Instructions
Dissolve salt, Epsom salt, and baking soda in boiling water in a quart size jar and set aside. Fill the tub with warm/hot water and add apple cider vinegar. Pour salt mixture in and add essential oils if using.
Soak in bath for 30 minutes or as long as desired. Note that with any detox bath, you may feel tired or lightheaded when you get out. I don’t recommend doing this while home alone or before going somewhere in case you are tired or need help.
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 salt
- essential oils if desired
CLAY DETOX BATH INSTRUCTIONS
Dissolve the Epsom salt in a warm/hot bath and add essential oils if desired. For the clay there are two options:
Vigorously mix the clay into a small amount of water until the clumps are mostly dissolved. Do not use metal for this! I mix with a plastic spoon in a glass jar. Add the clay mix to the bath and soak for at least 20 minutes.
Mix that clay with a small amount of water to make a paste. Stand in the tub full of water and rub the clay mix all over your body to create a ski mask and let dry for 5 minutes before sitting down. This provides direct contact with the skin and effectively pulls toxins from the skin. Soak in the bath at least 20 minutes or as long as desired. While soaking, use a washcloth to scrub any remaining clay off the skin.
This bath is great for removing a lot of toxins as the clay binds to heavy metals and the Epsom salt help pull a variety of toxins from the body while replenishing magnesium levels.
