Detox Bath: Try it at home, it's great

This is a great detox bath that is cheap, works great,
and you can do at the house.

What you will need.

1. One large box of Baking Soda or Three small ones.
Two of the round boxes of Sea Salt, regular salt
can be used but sea salt is better. And a Bathtub.

What you do.

2. Start filling the tub with water, mix in all of the salt
and soda, swish the water around to start it dissolving,
get in the tub and fill it up half way with water as hot
as you can stand. Then turn the water flow down so
that the tub fills the rest of the way with hot water.
stay in the tub until the water has turned barley
warm.

Tricks for success.

3. Be sure and use enough of the salt and soda,
it sounds like a lot but that's what it takes.
Be sure and get the water as hot as you can stand,
you may have to adjust the water flow a few times
to get it just right. This will insure that your pores
get opened up really well. Stay in the tub as long
as you can, repossession every little bit to make
sure that all areas of your body get covered.
Be sure and shower off after you get through.

4. Do the detox bath every two or three weeks
to feel better and have better health, it is a
super stress reliever as well.

One more thing, don't plan on going anywhere for a
while after you do the detox, if it's done correctly
you will be too relaxed to do anything but go lie
down, it is also great to do after a full body massage.

For a super detox double the amount of Salt and Baking soda.

One important thing I forgot, you will want to drink about a quart of water
after the detox bath to help flush out any toxins that turned loose and
were carried off in your blood stream.

And reposition in the tub not Repossession, you may
need your car after you get out of the tub, what a doof.
Epson salts have been used in this manner for centuries. Their qualities and results are now well documented. I would suggest using them as bojulay suggests instead of baking soda and/or sea salt. Not saying anything negative about those - I just don't know enough about them to reccommend them.

The Epson Salt had very little of a relaxing effect in my opinion.
The Sea Salt has all the minerals that have an effect also.

A similar spa detox which might use some exotic mineral bath,
could cost over $100 dollars or more, and the do it yourself
one I described about $5 or so, and you really will get the same
results, if not better.
I like to do this as well... I love Epsom salt soaks, but you're right. If it doesn't have any essential oils in it then it's not nearly relaxing as the other

Should I bring water or wine for your after soak beverage?
May have to try it and a hot bath is very relaxing.
