Detox Bath

Last week I was feeling weird. Nothing seemed to be going right, even though everything was fine (y'heard?) My body and mind weren't feeling up to par, so I decided to try having a detox bath to clear myself of some toxins. Was this bath fix mostly emotional? Probably. Did it work? Yeah.

Every time I need a detox bath, I don't want to sludge out to the store to buy necessary ingredients, so I usually end up mixing 12 recipes + weird things I have in my cupboard to make my own personal heaven (i.e. a locked bathroom door, a warm bath, and some quiet time).

Here's what the recipe usually looks like:

1 cup hydrogen peroxide

1 / 2 cup baking soda

Other ingredients I would include if I had them:

a few drops of essential oil (make sure it's skin friendly, not just aromatherapeutic)

1 / 4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 cup epsom salts (they are NOT the same as table salt...thanks Google haha)

9 easy steps to an awesome detox bath:

1. Lock yourself in the bathroom with all your ingredients.

2. Make the bath water as hot as you can + add ingredients.

3. Turn on some Kenny G and light some weird candles.

4. Turn off the Kenny G. He stresses me out.

5. Drink a glass of water before getting in the bath. Hydration.

6. Sit in the bath for 30 minutes, with as much of your body covered as possible.

7. Rinse in a lukewarm shower.

8. Get out slowly because you're gonna feel weirdsies.

9. Drink a ton of water and go to bed.

You might feel weird the night you take the bath, but you'll feel great the next day.
