A popular bath detox recipe combines 1 cup each of Epsom Salt, Baking Soda and sometimes Magnesium flakes with a few drops of essential oils like lavender or lemon for relaxation, soaking in warm water for 20-30 minutes. 

Classic Detox Bath Recipe
 

  • Ingredients:

    • 1 cup Epsom salt

    • 1 cup baking soda (aluminum-free if possible)

    • Optional: 1 cup magnesium flakes

    • Optional: 5-10 drops essential oils (lavender, lemon, peppermint)

  • Instructions:

    • Run a warm bath, as hot as you can comfortably stand.

    • Add Epsom salt, baking soda, and magnesium flakes to the running water.

    • Mix in essential oils (stir them into the salts first).

    • Soak for at least 20-30 minutes, allowing your body to sweat and release toxins.

    • Rinse off with cool water and drink plenty of water afterward.


Other Detox Bath Variations

  • Apple Cider Vinegar Soak: Add 1-2 cups of apple cider vinegar to your bath water.

  • Bentonite Clay Soak: Mix 1/4 cup bentonite clay with warm water to form a paste, then add to warm bath water to help absorb heavy metals.

  • Ginger Soak: Add 1/8 cup fresh, grated ginger with Epsom salt to promote sweating.


Key Tips

  • Hydration: Drink water before, during, and after your bath. 

  • Water Temperature: Use warm/hot water to open pores, but be mindful of lightheadedness.

  • Aftercare: Rinse with cool water and towel dry, avoiding soap immediately after to let minerals work.
