Detox Bath Salts

One of my favorite ways to relax and wind down after a busy day is to take a hot bath and read a good book.  I love bubbles and quiet time!  One of the extra benefits of my bathtub time is that I can rid my body of some yucky toxins while I am in there.  I add detox bath salts to make this happen.  They are easy and inexpensive to make and I love what they do for my body.  In addition to the detoxing quality of the salts you can add even more therapeutic benefits by adding Essential Oils to your salts.  Add Lavender for a calming effect or Deep Blue for sore muscles.

Detox Bath Salts

4 ounce Plastic PET or glass  container
2 ounce Baking Soda
2 ounce Epsom Salt
1 tbsp Ginger
3-4 drops Essential oils of choice

I start by gathering my containers and supplies.

I fill my container about 1/2 way full with epsom salts.

Then I add the ginger and essential oil.  I chose Citrus Bliss for this batch.  It has an uplifting effect on me.  

I fill the rest of the container with baking soda, put the lid on and shake, shake, shake it.

 

I add 2-3 tbsp of the salts to my bath water and soak for 20-40 minutes.  Be sure to drink lots of water during this process to help carry the toxins out of your body.  Enjoy!
