Detox Bath Recipe

Want to de-stress and soak the worries of your day away?  Why not indulge in some extreme self care and enjoy a soothing warm bath.  Light some candles.  Tune into some smooth jazz or classical music.  Shut the bathroom door. Close your eyes and drift away. 

Easy & Inexpensive DIY Detoxifying Bath Salts

Makes enough for 6 bath soaks

Ingredients

• 3 cups Dead Sea salt or Epsom salt (or combination)
• 1 cup baking soda
• 25 drops of your favorite essential oil or combination of your favorites (my personal fave is lavender due to its super calming properties) (where to buy)
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil (for moisturizing) (where to buy)

Directions

Combine all ingredients, place in an airtight container, and store in a cool dry place. It will keep indefinitely.

To use

Scoop out ½ cup and place in warm bath. Dim the lights, put on some relaxing music, and soak as long as you can.

 

Why Dead Sea Salt?

"Authentic" products that have elements of the Dead Sea are rich in minerals – over 80, to be precise – that can work both internally and externally to help detoxify your body. Check it:

• Potassium: Helps to maintain moisture and water balance in the body
• Magnesium: Helps to prevent and cure skin allergies as well as tighten the skin (cellulite, be gone!)
• Sodium, chloride, and calcium: Provide mineral and water balance to your cells
• Bromine: Has a soothing effect and helps you to relax

These minerals also facilitate the elimination of toxins from your pores. It’s best done at the end of a long day right before bed – you know, during your new found “you” time.
