Therapeutic Bath Soak

A special welcome to those of you stopping by from Decorchick!

I’ve always looked at a long soak in a hot bath as a luxury, but my mindset is starting to change. I’m reading more evidence of how beneficial soaking in a bath can be. When I take the time to soak, I want to make sure that I’m getting as many benefits as possible. So let’s detox our baths – and make the most of our soaking time – using a recipe from Melissa Poepping’s book The Chemical Free Home. {Keep reading to find out how to get a copy of this little gem.}

This Therapeutic Bath Soak combines the detoxifying power of salts and baking soda with the skin soothing power of milk and cornstarch. Milk baths not only soften your skin, but they may help soothe the irritation of eczema and other skin discomforts. The lactic acid also helps remove dead skin cells which leaves your skin smoother.

The salts help your nervous system relax by increasing the magnesium levels in the body. They also help reduce swelling and lessen muscle pain. Combined with baking soda, they have an amazing detoxifying effect on the body, drawing toxins out of the body through the skin.

Our Therapeutic Bath Soak recipe also calls for essential oils. This is where you can let your creativity go to work. Here are some suggestions for oils to add to your soak:

• Lavender (relaxation)
• Stress Away (relaxation)
• Thieves (immune boosting)
• Lemon (energy boosting)
• Peace & Calming (relaxation)
• Valor (relaxation)

You can choose your favorite or mix and match.
