Detox Baths for Purification

General Information:

You may experience flu-like symptoms during the detoxification

because your body is ridding itself of poisons. You can get some

relief from these symptoms by taking baths using epsom salts (1 to 2

cups) and baking soda (1 cup) in a tub of water and soaking for 20

minutes (soaking for more than 20 minutes may cause you to get too

exhausted). On off days, you can put 1 cup of apple cider vinegar in

the tub and soak.

Skin brushing can be very beneficial, because the skin is a primary

avenue for detoxification - along with the lungs, kidneys, liver,

and colon. Use a vegetable brush. You can purchase this at a health

food store. You need to brush all parts of the body toward the

heart. Then follow with a sesame oil massage. Massaging with sesame

oil brings relief. This oil can be purchased from the health food

store. Massage the whole body for 5 minutes before bathing or

showering.

Detox Baths:

(NOTE: Baths should be taken on a daily basis during detox and

rotated, switching to a different type of bath each day. After

detoxing, use whichever bath seems appropriate to meet your current

needs.)

EPSOM SALTS AND GINGER:

This bath opens pores and eliminates toxins and also helps to

eliminate pain. Stir one cup of epsom salts and 2 tablespoons of

ginger in a cup of water first, then add to the bath. Do not remain

in the tub for more than 30 minutes.

SALT AND SODA:

This bath counteracts the effects of radiation, whether from X-rays,

cancer treatment radiation, fallout from the atmosphere, or

television radiation. 1 cup of baking soda and 1 to 2 cups of

ordinary coarse salt (or epsom salts or sea salt) to a tub of water.

You can soak for 20 minutes.

EPSOM SALTS, SEA SALT, AND SESAME OIL:

This bath helps with dry skin and stress. Take 1 cup of Epsom salt,

1 cup of sea salt (from the health food store), and 1 cup of sesame

oil and put into a warm to hot tub of water and soak for 20 minutes.

Pat yourself dry.

VINEGAR BATH:

This is used when the body is too acidic. This is a quick way of

restoring the acid-alkaline balance. 1 cup to 2 quarts of 100% apple

cider vinegar to a bathtub of warm water. Soak 40 to 45 minutes.

This is excellent for excess uric acid in the body and especially

for the joints, arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and gout.

BENTONITE BATH:

A fast detoxification method. Soak 2 to 4 pounds of bentonite clay

in a flat container overnight to dissolve it. Then add this to a tub

of water. With 2 pounds of bentonite you would soak one hour; with 4

pounds you would soak only about 30 minutes. The more bentonite

used, the faster the detoxification. (NOTE: While bentonite is a

great adsorber, it is widely used to seal well-casings and ponds.

It would very likely seal many septic systems too, costing thousands

to repair. Use sparingly or with caution!)
