Epsom Salt Detox Bath

Epsom salt is the original gangster of detox baths, and you'll find that many include this key ingredient. The power of epsom salt is unmatched because it draws out all of the toxins in your body. It also supports weight management, relieves sore muscles, and creates relaxation. Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt is a crowd favorite if you're looking for a reliable product.

To make an Epsom salt detox bath:

• Pour 2 cups of Epsom salt in your bathtub with warm water.
• It's best to pour the salt under the water spout so that it dissolves faster.
• Jump in and soak in the tub for at least 12 minutes. If you're looking for softer skin, soak for 20 minutes.

Bentonite Clay Detox Bath

Medicinal clay has proven to have healing powers for centuries. The clay is a derivative of volcanic ash and it reduces inflammation while also improving hydration. Aztec Secret Healing Clay works wonders, and I highly recommend it.

OR

2. Use the biggest cooking spoon you have to swirl 1 cup of bentonite clay in your tub and soak for 20 minutes.
