Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Bath Instructions

  1. While drawing your bath, add the apple cider vinegar.
  2. Soak for up to 30 minutes. Remember, hot water is best for all detox baths since hot water is what is needed to help detoxify as it opens up the skin’s pores. Keep water to drink nearby as well as a washcloth…this bath is gonna make you sweat! Get a head start by drinking some water while you are running the bath too.
  3. Dry yourself off after the bath, but don’t be surprised if you continue to sweat for a couple of hours afterwards. You may also find that the vinegar detox bath makes you a little sleepy, so you might want to head straight to bed after hopping out of the tub.
  4. Make sure to drink water before you hit the pillow, and have water handy in case you wake up in the night so you can keep hydrated.

Note: Check with your doctor if you have any conditions such as high blood pressure or a heart condition before using this natural apple cider vinegar detox bath recipe.

In case you’re not yet familiar with the benefits apple cider vinegar provides, it’s important to invest some time to learn about just what it can do for you, both consumed internally, and used externally to treat a number of conditions.

Here it’s being used in a detox bath to help with conditions such as arthritis and gout, as well as anything else that is caused by inflammation.

This is a great bath to take if you’re feeling like you need to sweat the toxins out, and likewise if you want to ensure that you get to sleep without lying awake with a wandering mind.

Ginger Detox Bath Recipe

  • 5 DIY Detox Bath Recipes by @BlenderBabes 1/2 C of freshly grated ginger or a rounded teaspoon of ginger powder

Ginger Detox Bath Instructions

  1. Add grated ginger or ginger powder to hot or warm water.
  2. Soak for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Make sure to drink plenty of water after your ginger bath.

Please remember that the ginger bath will make you sweat profusely for at least an hour afterwards, so wear sweat clothes or a bathrobe and drink lots of water after. If you have sensitive skin or are allergy-prone, test ginger on your skin for irritation before dipping into the bath.

Ginger is a root that possesses loads of healthy properties when you eat it, but it can also be used in other ways to help the body, like soaking in a ginger bath.

You can either grate fresh ginger into your bath or sprinkling in some ginger powder.

It’s a way to get the body to sweat a lot more and get even extra amounts of toxins out, much like taking a sauna or sitting in a steam room.

They say it leads to feelings of increased energy, feeling cleaner, and warding off symptoms of an oncoming cold.

Baking Soda Detox Bath Recipe

5 DIY Detox Bath Recipes by @BlenderBabes

Baking Soda Detox Bath Instructions

  1. Combine 1-part Epsom salt to a 2-part baking soda – mixture creates this basic detox bath for one 30 minute soak. For a first detox bath, measure 1 cup of Epsom salt and 2 cups of baking soda.
  2. Add mixture while drawing hot bath water, filling the tub 2/3 of the way full.
  3. Soak for at least one half hour.

Other ingredients may be added to this basic detox bath, depending on the need. For example, salt can be drying to the skin. Therefore, you can add 10 drops of glycerin to your bath water to counterbalance this reaction.

Are you aware that common baking soda, the kind you keep in your fridge to absorb odors, can also be used as a detoxing device?

It’s true, just adding this to your bath you’re giving it properties it otherwise wouldn’t have.

It’s been said that a baking soda bath can help you to de-stress. It’s very important to view stress as a toxic condition, and to look at different ways of relaxing as a way to detox the body.

Baking soda is scientifically known as sodium bicarbonate, great for neutralizing the chlorine that has been added to most city water sources.

It’s tough to detox in a bath that’s full of a toxic chemical, so it’s good that this makes it cleaner naturally.

Sea Salt Detox Bath Recipe

5 DIY Detox Bath Recipes by @BlenderBabes

Sea Salt Detox Bath Instructions

  1. Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Draw a bath with hot water, as hot as you handle. As the water is filling the tub, add all of the dry ingredients and the vinegar. The flowing water will help mix it, but make sure to mix it up well. (If your water turns yellow or orange, that’s just the ginger and the vinegar).
  3. Soak for about 40 minutes and relax.

You can use chopped fresh ginger if you choose, but we suggest putting it in a tea ball or something similar so pieces of ginger aren’t floating around in your tub or clog your drain.

A salt bath is among the oldest baths out there, and has been used for many years to help people relax and unwind.

But did you also know that sea salt alone can help to pull toxins out of the body, and provide extra benefits to your skin?

This recipe uses sea salt, so you’re getting all natural salt, not the kind that is iodized and sold in cylindrical containers.

Some of the reported benefits from soaking in this bath: having more energy at the beginning of the day, not needing to reach for a caffeine jolt, and feeling better throughout the whole day.

Blender Babes Tips

To keep your skin healthy and supple, you can also moisturize your skin with pure, unscented aloe gel after your detox bath. 

Make sure to drink at least 2 glasses of filtered water within the hours following. Add some flavor by garnishing with any type of fruit and/or thinly sliced cucumber OR try our popular detox water recipes!
