Recipe type: Detoxification
Ingredients
  • 1 cup epsom salt
  • ½ c. baking soda (yes, the kind you keep in the fridge)
  • 4 T. ground ginger (more or less depending on your tolerance)
  • 15 to 20 drops of essential oils of choice (I always use lavender, and pair it with at least one other. I like ylang ylang, tea tree, and eucalyptus.
Instructions
  1. Fill your bathtub with hot water - as hot as you can tolerate it. Once it fills about half way, sprinkle in your ingredients and give it a few big stirs with your hand to help it all dissolve.
  2. Once it's full, get in and submerge yourself to your neck.
  3. Soak for at least 20 minutes. but you can stay as long as 40 minutes. The first 20 minutes is to extract toxins while the second 20 minutes is when the body begins to absorb the minerals.
  4. Once you're out, simply towel off and rest for about 30 minutes before showering.
Notes
Do NOT do this detox every day, but instead once or twice a week and build to three times a week from there if you want to do so.
