Y Detox Bath ?

Have you heard of detox bath?Oh yes! It has something to do with the removal of toxins from
the body. Hmmmm.... you are right but you might be thinking Do WE actually need a detox bath?So, lets check out, do we need a detox bath?

WHY NEED A DETOX BATH?
A detox bath is a easiest healing  process to facilitate our body's natural detoxification system.
There is no doubt in this day and age, our bodies are subject to more toxins than ever. Toxins are in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the medications we take and in the water we drink. Toxins cause irritation, harm and destruction in the body if left unchecked. Detoxification is the body’s way of removing and metabolizing these dangerous compounds. It is a process the body does naturally without us even knowing it.

Our toxic burden is a result of the toxins we are exposed to and our body’s ability to naturally detox. The more toxins we are exposed to, the harder the body has to work at eliminating these toxins.We haven’t even left our house, yet we have been exposed to toxins that can potentially cause ill-health. While it is impossible to abolish our exposure to all toxins, we can reduce unnecessary exposure as well as improve our body’s efficiency and ability to eliminate them.When we take a detox bath, we not only boost our health and well-being, but also strengthen our immune system and prevent disease.

The liver removes toxins and metabolic waste from the body by converting them to water-soluble compounds. Once water-soluble they can be eliminated from the body through urine. Some waste products are not water-soluble and are transformed by the liver and excreted in the bile. The bile is then transported to the intestines where it exits the body through our bowels. Toxins not eliminated or completely removed by either of these processes may be eliminated through our skin via our sweat.

SOME ALARMING FACTS…
Our exposure to toxic substances is on the rise.

• 2,100 chemicals, including pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, medications such as antidepressants and recreational drugs are in our water supply.
• 80,000 metric tons of carcinogens are released into the air annually in North America.
• Over 80% of foods have genetically modified ingredients.
• The EPA estimates that the average U.S. citizen has residues from over 400 toxic compounds in their body.

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.
