Detox Bath

Epsom Salt Detox Baths are a weekly occurrence in our house. It is cheap and so beneficial to our bodies. Not to mention easy.

My kids take at least 2 of these every week, but let's be honest, mom life doesn't always allow for me to soak in the tub and get these incredible benefits. Solution: sit on the side of the tub and soak your feet while your littles splash around in the tub. Usually this means I end up wet, but we are all getting the benefits of the detox bath and lots of giggles happen too.

Just a few of the benefits include:

Eliminate toxins
Digestive support
Reduce inflammation
Encourage mineral absorption
Boost your metabolism (energy)
Clear skin
Help with sleep
Sore and achy muscles or joints
Help with circulation
Ease stress and relax the body

Key Benefits

Magnesium (epsom salts) is actually the 4th most important mineral in the body, and absorbed best through the skin. Many experience a magnesium deficiency due to our diets and lifestyle. This simple epsom salt detox bath is an effective way of replenishing this mineral.

Baking soda is another component of our detox bath. We add it for its amazing ability to remove toxins. Yep, this is the same stuff you use in baking. It helps detoxify and alkalize your body and helps to soften your skin leaving it silky smooth.

We are exposed to so much in our day to day life, and I strongly encourage you all to start doing some detox baths to reap the benefits.
