Epsom Salts Detox Bath Epsom Salts baths (or Hydrated Magnesium Sulphate) seem to be one of the most popular forms of detoxifying baths. They are cheap, readily available and help replenish the bodys magnesium reserves. Magnesium is an important alkaline mineral. It is actually the 4th most important mineral in the body. It is better absorbed through the skin. Todays lifestyle and diets seem to contribute to magnesium deficinecy and an Epsom Salts bath is an effective way of replenishing this essential mineral with many benefits, which include: ◦Boosting circulation ◦Reducing inflammation ◦Easing hypertension ◦Improving oxygen use ◦Encouraging minerals absorption However, although the Epsom Salts bath provides great benefits, its action in terms of directly detoxifying the body remains questionable. How to take an Epsom Salts Bath: Epsom Salt can be used on its own or in combination with essential oils, apple cider vinegar or baking soda (1 cup). Dilute 2 cups of Epsom Salts in a bathtub of hot water. Add a few drops of lavender, rose or tea tree oil and soak for 40 minutes. This bath can also be taken with Himalayan or Sea salt. Ginger Detox Bath A few years ago we published a very popular article about the benefits of the ginger bath and its amazing power to rid the body of toxins through sweating. Throughout history, human beings have resorted to various forms of sweating to maintain good health and eliminate toxins and impurities from the body. For those who have no access to a sauna or steam bath, the ginger bath can provide very similar benefits. Clay Detox Bath Clay has been used for centuries to treat various conditions. Some clays, such as Bentonite Clay can effectively suck out toxins through the pores of the skin and are amazingly effective detox aids. In his book The Clay Cure : Natural Healing from the Earth Ran Knishinsky writes, Because of clays excellent drawing effect, the clay has the power to literally pull toxicities through the pores of the skin in the bath. How To Take a Clay Bath: Scatter 2 cups of Bentonite Clay powder like Redmond Trading Company Clay or Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Deep Pore Cleansing into a very hot water bath as its running. To avoid lumps, mix 1 part clay to 8 parts water in a container with a lid and shake vigorously. Allow the mix to sit for a couple of hours, shake again and pour into the bathtub and mix with the rest of the hot water. Submerge as much of your body as possible in the water with the temperature as hot as you can stand it, for about 20 minutes. Please note: Though the bentonite clay bath is a very effective detox aid, it can get quite messy and could clog the bathtubs drain.
