4 Detox Foot Baths and How They Help Your Health

By Brandi Swieter 

Eliminating toxins from the body does wonders for overall health. It will help to ease symptoms of pain and illness, and help a person feel better than they may have in awhile. With a simple detox bath for the feet, people can help their health tremendously. There are at least four types to try.

A Salt Detox Bath

Epsom salt is one of the best solutions for eliminating toxins. Placing one cup of Epsom salt, one cup of sea salt, and two cups of baking soda into boiling water allows them to dissolve completely. Once the mixture cools to a temperature you can withstand, it’s time to place the feet into it. Just a half-hour is all it takes for a full body detox, rise in magnesium levels, and eliminated skin irritations.

A Relaxing Detox Bath

For an even better relaxing feeling, people need to up the ante. A typical salt bath may prove beneficial, but adding some tea and oils would make it even more worthwhile. Stick with Epsom salt, but add lemon juice, mint tea, olive oil, and peppermint oil. Just 15 minutes spent soaking the feet in this concoction can help to reduce stress and relax the mind.

A Clay Detox Bath

Using clay in combination with Epsom salt is a great way to detoxify the body. It will also increase magnesium levels, which can help relieve anxiety, improve headache symptoms, and even improve the body’s ability to absorb calcium. Use just a half cup of Epsom salt and another half of bentonite clay. Let the salt dissolve in the foot bath as the clay dissolves in a separate container of water. Then add the clay to the bath and put the feet in it to soak. A 20-minute soak will suffice.

An Oxygen Detox Bath

Known as the oxygen detox, this bath option skips the salt. Instead, hydrogen peroxide is utilized. Pair this with dried ginger powder and you have yourself a soak solution that eases skin irritations and allergies. Toxins get eliminated in just 30 minutes.

Try out a detox foot bath and watch your health improve. Removing toxins from the body has the ability to lessen symptoms of sickness and pain, making it a beneficial option for anyone suffering. Give one of these three options a try or find an alternative recipe that meets your needs.
