How I take a Detox bath

Description

This is how I take a detox bath. I try to do this once a week to rid my body of water weight. I usually weigh myself before and after and I usually lose about 1-1.5 pounds of water weight during the bath.
Show More This is how I take a detox bath. I try to do this once a week to rid my body of water weight. I usually weigh myself before and after and I usually lose about 1-1.5 pounds of water weight during the bath.

1. Use as hot of water as you can stand. The hotter the better.

2. Use 2-4 cups of baking soda and 2-4 cups of Epsom salt. 2 cups each for a conventional tub and 4 cups each for a large tub. I buy baking soda and epsom salt in bulk at Costco.

3. Add your favorite essential oil or herbal bath. Here I'm using a herbal bath soak by Kneipp called Valerian and hops sleep well. It was amazing and made the water a pretty blue!

4. Try to soak 20-40 minutes. The closer to 40 the better. You will sweat a lot. Use the time to clear your mind and/or meditate. This quiet alone time will do wonders for your overall mood. We all need some alone time! Keep kids and/or significant others of out the room during your alone time.

5. Be careful when stepping out of the tub! You might feel light-headed and the tub bottom may be slightly slippery.

6. Drink at least 1 glass of water after to re-hydrate.

7. I like to take mine near bed time because it's so nice to go to sleep right after.

8. ENJOY!
