Detox Bath for Our Littles

Many times when our bodies are fighting against something the temperature will rise.  It is not always a bad thing when your body is warm because its naturally fighting off what it's up against but I know as a Mom that can be scary too.  This recipe we love to use to help keep their body temperature low yet still using natural items to support the body in doing what it knows to do. 

We will make up a warm bath (not to hot) for the kids to soak and relax in. 

We will take a cup of epsom salts and add 1 drops of any of the following:

  • Peppermint

  • Lavender

  • Lime

  • Zendrocrine

  • Patchouli

These are all great options at helping the body to reduce in temperature and relax the aches and pains too. Not to mention the blend smells delicious too when you use them all together. 

We will then add 1/2 Cup of baking soda and mix all around and let them soak.  

My one son has very sensitive skin so when we use Peppermint or Zendocrine (already hot oil) in the bathtub with water that speeds up the molecules it is uncomfortable to him and his skin.  For his detox body temperature baths we stick to patchouli and lavender but apply all the oils to him after topically.

Once the child or yourself is done soaking dry off really good as well as let air dry a little too before applying the following all over body especially targeting feet and spine.

  • 3 T coconut oil with 

  • 1-2 drops each

  • Peppermint 

  • Lime

  • Patchouli

  • Zendocrine

*You can do it in a rollerball but we prefer to just put directly into palm of the hand and rub all over as massage can be very beneficial to helping the healing process too.  

This is effective EVERY SINGLE TIME.  We have utilized it in the middle of the night often with my littles too, without fail, we are back to sleep and peaceful another thing that helps them to fight off the crud.
