A hot bath is one of the best ways to relax after a long day of work, school or errands. Warm water is very soothing, able to relax worn out muscles and provide a peaceful state of mind to a tired student or worker. Even if you aren’t tired and just want to settle down and relax, a bath is perfect either way.

Our bodies are designed to eliminate toxins and waste products, however some toxins bioaccumulate over time. Also, a modern phenomenon is that of increased “toxic load” from everything we are exposed to. A thorough cleaning of the skin is valuable as the skin is actually one of the body’s most important organs of detoxification. The hot bath can also assist with circulation, which enables the transport of nutrients and the elimination of waste products. Furthermore, the addition of nourishing, healthful ingredients can be valuable as these are absorbed by the skin and used by the body.

The Detox Bath – Ingredients And Tips

Here’s the fantastic simple formula for the ultimate detox bath which will relax and refresh…

Ingredients:

1 handful of Epsom Salts
1/2 cup of baking soda
10 drops of essential oils

Directions and tips:
• Add all the ingredients while the bath is running.
• Don’t forget to light candles to create an ultra-relaxing atmosphere!
• Relax in the hot water for 15-20 minutes
• Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after your bath to aid in the detoxification process. Lemon water is good.
• Massaging yourself – or your tub partner – can help with circulation and lymphatic drainage.
• Try cucumber slices on the eyelids to rejuvenate your eyes “spa style”.
• Do it once a week!

Note – be extra careful when getting in and out of the bath as essential oils can make the bath and bathroom floor a bit more slippery.
