Recipes For Natural Detox Bath

Warn bath is more relaxing  but a relaxing warm detox bath also helps cleanse the body.

These detox baths will help remove toxins from the body and they also tend to make you tired so I suggest doing them before bed!

If you struggle with toxins or skin issues these natural recipes are a simple, easy, and affordable way to boost health!  Since rainy season, I'm always up for a warm bath, and these natural add-ons help improve health while I relax! Give it a try.

1. Salt Detox Bath Recipe

¼ cup sea salt or Himalayan salt

¼ cup Epsom salt

¼ cup baking soda

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

favorite essential oils if desired (I use 10 drops of peppermint or lavender)

Salt Detox Bath Instructions

Dissolve salt, Epsom salt, and baking soda in boiling water in a quart size jar and set aside. Fill tub with warm/hot water and add apple cider vinegar. Pour salt mixture in and add essential oils if using.

Soak in bath for 30 minutes or as long as desired. Note that with any detox bath, you may feel tired or lightheaded when you get out. I don’t recommend doing this while home alone or before going somewhere in case you are tired or need help.

This bath is great for soothing skin irritation, boosting magnesium levels, and overall detoxing.

Clay Detox Bath Recipe

½ cup bentonite clay

½ cup Epsom salts

essential oils if desired

2 .Clay Detox Bath Instructions

Dissolve the Epsom salts in a warm/hot bath and add essential oils if desired. For the clay there are two options:

Vigorously mix the clay in to a small amount of water until the clumps are mostly dissolved. Do not use metal for this! You can mix with a plastic spoon in a glass jar.  Add the clay mix to the bath and soak for at least 20 minutes.

Mix that clay with a small amount of water to make a paste. Stand in the tub full of water and rub the clay mix all over your body to create a skin mask and let dry for 5 minutes before sitting down. This provides direct contact with the skin and effectively pulls toxins from the skin. Soak in bath at least 20 minutes or as long as desired. While soaking, use a wash cloth to scrub any remaining clay off the skin.

This bath is great for removing a lot of toxins as the clay binds to heavy metals and the Epsom salts help pull a variety of toxins from the body while replenishing magnesium levels.

3. Oxygen Detox Bath Recipe

This bath is especially helpful during illness as the ginger helps clear congestion or alleviate body aches. It can also be helpful for allergies or skin irritation.

2 cups (or more) hydrogen peroxide

1 TBSP dried ground ginger

Oxygen Detox Bath Instructions

Fill the tub with warm/hot water and add the hydrogen peroxide and dried ginger.

Soak in tub for 30 minutes or as long as desired.

4. Vinegar Detox Bath Recipe

This is an excellent bath for soothing skin problems since vinegar balances the skin’s pH. I know many people don’t love the smell of vinegar, if anyone  with sunburn, eczema, dandruff, or dry itchy skin can take a vinegar bath.

Apple cider vinegar has a whole host of benefits, and it helps not only the skin but it  leaves you with soft skin and shiny hair as well.

Vinegar Bath Instructions

Once or twice a week,  fill a tub with warm or hot water and add 1-2 cups of apple cider vinegar.

Soak for 20-30 minutes, using a washcloth to clean your face and make sure to get my hair wet as well.

After bathing, rinse off in a cool shower, though some sources recommend letting the vinegar water dry on the skin.

5 . Mustard Detox Bath Recipe

We are talking about organic mustard powder, not the yellow stuff in a bottle! Ancient cultures often used this spice in preparations to soothe colds, flus, and sore muscles, thanks to its circulation-stimulating properties.

Magnesium and essential oils make this bath both detoxifying and aromatic.

Additional Detox Bath Notes

The warmer the water, the more powerful the detox effect will be.

If you have chlorine and fluoride in your water, I recommend adding a few tablespoons of bentonite clayto any of these baths to help absorb the chemicals so they aren’t absorbed into the skin. Here are some other ways to reduce chemicals in bath water as well.

Any of these natural ingredients can be used alone or in combination for a cleansing effect.

All recipes can be doubled or tripled but this will increase the detox effect.
