Epsom Salt Natural Bath Recipe
A basic Epsom salt detox bath recipe is one of the easiest ways to eliminate toxins and promote relaxation. If you want to keep it super basic, all you need are 2-3 cups of Epsom salt and warm water. But who wants to be basic, right? Here is my custom recipe using Epsom salts that'll boost both detox effects and the overall relaxation experience.
Equipment
- 1 Cooking pot
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1/4 cup Sea Salt (Himalayan Pink Salt)
- 2 cups Epsom Salts
- 1/4 cup Baking Soda
- 1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 10 drops Essential Oils (optional, my favs are Frankincense or Lavender)
Instructions
- In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, you can fill your bathtub with warm/hot water.
- Stir in the sea salt, Epsom salt, and baking soda into your boiling pot of water on the stove, until ingredients look dissolved.
- Carefully pour hot mixture into your bath water
- Add the apple cider vinegar to your bath water
- Add drops of your favourite essential oils if you so choose
- Soak for 20-30 min
Notes
Salt detox baths may aid in decreasing muscle tension, improving pH balance, and weight loss. You may also feel sleepy after a good Epsom salt soak due to the magnesium, so this bath would be great to add to your bedtime routine!
