Here's a fabulous article from Ancient Minerals regarding magnesium deficiencies that you will want to take a look at: http://www.ancient-minerals.com/magnesium-deficiency/need-more/
Here is what you will need to do:
- Once a week, take a nice hot bath (not too hot, you have to be in there for awhile).
- While filling the bath tub, pour 1 to 2 cups of Magnesium Bath Flakes into the running water.
- While filling the bath tub, pour in 1 cup of Baking Soda.
- Next, add 6-8 drops of Spark Naturals Lavender Essential Oil.
- Swish the ingredients around a bit.
- Climb in ma-lady! It's time for a relaxing tubby! Stay in there for 40 minutes and drink lots of cold water. ENJOY!
Sure! Use 1/2 cup of magnesium bath flakes, 1/2 cup of baking soda and just 1-2 drops of lavender essential oil.
Not feeling well? Take the detox bath above and start feeling better, faster! Have a headache or migraine? Take the detox bath above and relieve your symptoms faster! Have psoriasis? Take the detox bath above and start soothing away your painful psoriasis! There are so many possibilities to a detox bath! Experiment! And enjoy the relaxation! The first 20 minutes of the bath is said to remove the toxins from your system, while the other 20 is to allow for the minerals to be absorbed by your body. Isn't science cool!?
Trouble getting in and out of a tub or have an open sore on your body? Here's an alternative detox bath just for you!:

- Always check with your doctor before starting this or any detox regimen…especially if you are suffering from any sort of health problems.
- Do not do a detox bath if you are pregnant, dehydrated, have heart problems, or open sores (the salt will burn!).
- If you feel uncomfortable, dizzy, or short of breath, get out of the bath immediately.
- If you have never done a detox bath before, start with only 1/2 cup of bath salts and work up.
- Make sure the water is not too hot or you won’t be able to stay in it long. You want to soak for 20 to 40 minutes.
- Always keep a large glass of water next to the bath tub so you can re-hydrate during the bath.
- If you don’t feel like doing a full bath, do a foot bath instead!
- Do not use soap in your bath water…it will interfere with the detoxification process.
