This Ultimate Guide to Detox Baths is our families go-to anytime anyone is under the weather or to use as wellness prevention. If we fall below the wellness line this is one of the first things we do. If your body is trying to fight something off, making sure your detox pathways are open will make a huge difference in the way your body can work to heal.<\/p>\n

Colds, Flu, Fever, Skin Issues, Respiratory Issues, Aches and Pains\u2026 pretty much any issue\u2026 when in doubt, we take a detox bath.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing about natural wellness is that it consists, a lot of times with things we have on hand already. Baths are a simple way to relax and relieve stress in general. They are amazing for adults but even better to help soothe children who aren’t feeling well and it’s a bonus to combine a regular bath with a detox bath.<\/p>\n

A couple things before we get started. I am not a doctor, I am just a Mama who loves finding natural options for her family. My education on oils is how our family has used these over the years and the benefits we have seen. You are the gatekeeper of your home and know your family so please keep that in mind while following us on this journey. Also, when speaking about essential oils, we use Young Living in our family and have for over six years. These are the oils that I have researched and feel comfortable with for our family. Not all oils are created equal.<\/h6>\n

Using essential oils for this bath is completely optional. It will do wonders either way, but I highly recommend them, especially as extra support if you have them on hand. You can create a bath specifically to support your symptoms which can add added relief. There are so many things that can be done to help with wellness prevention but at some point we do fall under the wellness line. There are many ways to support our bodies to flush out unwanted visitors and detoxing through your largest organ (your skin) is one of the best ways to officially get them out.<\/p>\n

How does a detox bath work?<\/h2>\n

A detox bath is a natural way to remove toxins from the body by adding ingredients like Epsom salts and essential oils to your bath. They allow minerals, commonly in the form of Epsom salts to draw the toxins from the body. Epsom salts contain oxygen, magnesium and sulfate, which is a powerful trio and it’s proven that these ingredients can stimulate detoxification pathways and help the body’s natural detoxification process. Sweating is a natural detoxifier, which is why it is important for us to sweat and soaking in a hot\/warm bath can cause your body to sweat with no added stress. <\/p>\n

Hot\/Warm Bath + Sweating out Toxins + Absorbing Minerals We Need = Support and healing to Our Body<\/h4>\n

What’s in a detox bath?<\/h2>\n

Epsom Salts<\/strong><\/a>  – These contain magnesium which most are deficient in due to modern diets but is essential to your bodies function. Instead of absorbing it from food, detox baths allow your body to absorb through the skin, which has its own benefits. It helps to promote better sleep, it can help to relieve aches and pains, can help with constipation, can reduce swelling and so much more.
