Salt Detox Bath Recipe
This simple salt bath recipe is great for soothing skin irritation, boosting magnesium levels, and overall detoxing.
Servings: 1 bath
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- ¼ cup sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
- ¼ cup Epsom salt
- ¼ cup baking soda
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- 10 drops essential oils (optional, I use lavender)
Instructions
- In a small pan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Add the sea salt, Epsom salt, and baking soda to a quart-size Mason jar.
- SLOWLY pour the hot water into the jar. The mixture will foam up, so be sure to do this slowly and do not hold the jar to avoid burning.
- Fill the bathtub with warm/hot water.
- Add the apple cider vinegar.
- Pour the salt mixture in and add essential oils if using.
- Soak in the bath for 30 minutes or as long as desired.
Notes
- 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.
- Avoid essential oils that are harsher on mucous membranes, like mint, cinnamon, oregano, or lemongrass. They can cause an unpleasant burning sensation.
