Detoxing is something we all consciously need to be doing to be at our optimal health. The skin & lymphatic system are really important detoxification pathways. Detox baths are a great relaxing way to get some of the toxic load out so we can get our bodies back to a healthier state. Below is a very simple detox bath that's recommended at least 3 times a week to detox from the many insults we are all dealing with on a daily basis.
