Cleansing Detox Bath Recipes

Detox bath recipes have been used for years to detox heavy metals as well as many other chemicals and to remove radiation from the body.

Following are some very effective cleansing detox bath recipes

All of these should be taken in a clean bathtub filled with unchloronated filtered water as hot as you can comfortably tolerate.

Using a shower filter or whole-house filter is highly recommended.

If you don't have a filter and your water contains chlorine you can add 2 Tablespoons of Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) to the bathwater. Just keep in mind this will only help with chlorine. Other contaminants will still remain.

It's also a good idea to do dry skin brushing before your bath to help eliminate toxins.

Simple Cleansing Bath

A very simple cleansing bath can be performed as follows:

1. Fill the bathtub with hot, unchlorinated water. (If no unchlorinated water is available, add 2 Tablespoons of Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) to the bathwater.)

2. Add 2 cups of baking soda to neutralize the acids of the toxins.

3. Add 2 cups of Epsom Salts to the water. They will help draw toxins out of the body. If you have a rash or open cut, the Epsom Salts may sting, so do not use them.

4. Soak in the tub for 1/2 hour.

5. Drink a lot of hot tea while in the bath
