While you can go to any grocery store and get yourself a fancy detox bath in a beautiful packaging and a mesmerizing scent, making your own DIY baths is much cheaper and more natural. That’s by using what you already have in your kitchen! Detox baths are so simple that even the least crafty among us can handle them.
Here are four very simple detox baths you can make yourself:
Salt detox
For this recipe, you will need:
- ¼ cup of seas salt (or Himalayan salt if you’re feeling fancy)
- ¼ cup of Epsom salt
- 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup of baking soda
- 10 drops of your favorite essential oil
Start by melting the salts and baking soda in some boiling water, and then add it to your bath water with the ACV and your essential oils.
This detox bath is perfect for flushing your body of all toxins and heavy metals, it’s also great for soothing skin irritations, and boosting the magnesium in your body.
Clay detox
This recipe only requires:
- ½ cup bentonite clay
- ½ cup Epsom salts
- 10 drops of your favorite essential oils
Start by dissolving the Epsom salts in hot water and add in with the essential oils to your bath. For the clay, mix it in with some hot water gradually until it forms a paste then add it to your bath. You can also rub it on your body before getting in the tub for better absorption.
