Try an Epsom Salt & Baking Soda bath tonight
Whether or not you've decided to break your fast, try an
Epsom Salt & Baking Soda bath tonight. 1 cup of each in a tub of warm water. Soak for 45 minutes, scrubbing your skin with a brush or loofa. Duck your head and face under water as well. This relaxes the neck muscles and stimulates the lymph in the neck area.
While in the bath, drink a large cup of herbal tea and a couple glasses of water. This is important -- this bath is dehydrating due to the high salt content of the bath water. As the body expels water, it expels cellular toxins. You need to replace it with pure water. Dehydration is the enemy while detoxing.
Afterward, rinse off under a cool shower to wash the toxin laden water off your skin. Rub yourself with olive oil, bundle up in your favorite nightware and tuck yourself into bed, with another 16
oz of water by the bed. Drink water if you wake in the night.
This bath has three effects:
1) It draws toxins out through your skin
2) It relaxes your muscles
3) It makes you feel good!
The bath should help you sleep well and feel better in the morning. Then, find a naturopath or someone to supervise the remainder of your cleanse.
Take care!
