Whenever you think of the detox process, you’re probably looking at it from an internal perspective… one where you give your organs a boost by clearing out toxins and feeding yourself plenty of much-needed vitamins and minerals.
But it would help if you didn’t forget about your largest organ – your skin. It’s one you have to nurture from both an internal and external perspective, and a detox bath can help you detoxify your body in a way that nutrition can’t.
So Consider Trying A Detox Bath Using…Â
Essential Oils. The use of essential oils work wonders in your bath. If you’re feeling drained of energy but still need to cook dinner, spend time with your family, and maybe get something else done, then you can use peppermint oils in your bath.
If the opposite is right and you want to drift off to sleep soon, try lavender or other oils that create a soothing environment instead of those that energize you more throughout the day.
Apple Cider Vinegar. If your body is suffering from inflammation, you might want to try a detox bath with apple cider vinegar. This is great if yeast is an issue in your life. This, as well as Epsom salts, can help ease the painful swelling in your body.
Sea Salt. Sea salt and baking soda are great for those who have a lot of exposure to environmental toxins. It’s a detox bath that will help induce sleep, too, so do it when you want a relaxing bath in the evening.
Three Quick Tips…Â
- Remember that many people who take these types of baths make sure to use a chlorine filter whenever they take one for improved health.
- Depending on the kind of detoxification bath you use, you probably want the water as hot as you can comfortably stand it to open up the pores and allow the toxins out while letting the minerals in.
- Every bath should end with the replenishment of water to your system. Some people like to drink water while in the tub, while others prefer to wait until the detox bath has been completed.
Clear Out Toxins. Pamper Your Skin—stress Less.
In addition to toxins that can accumulate in your system, stress hormones wreak havoc on your body and mind. A good detox bath is one way to rid stress from your life. So treat yourself to a relaxing bath that can help restore skin health and bring much-needed peace and calm to your day.
