What Is A Detox Bath?

February 21, 2021

In this post I wanted to share with you guys my absolute favorite way to unwind and destress- a detox bath. Stress management was a crucial part of my own self healing. Given my first hand experience with this simple yet powerful self care ritual, I love recommending clients add a detox bath to their daily routine to help manage stress levels and activate their parasympathetic nervous system (aka helps the body relax). Let’s chat about what a detox bath is and how you can do it at home!

What Is A Detox Bath

Our bodies are constantly working overtime to release everyday toxins found in our food, water, personal care products, air, and more. This is one of the easiest and natural remedies for releasing stored toxins by sweating. Anyone can take a detox bath to help support their health and immunity, right from the comfort of their own home. Additionally, detox baths are incredibly helpful for sore muscles, colds, sinus infections, migraines, and when you’re just not feeling all that well. 

 

What Is A Detox Bath?

 

How To Take A Detox Bath

I recommend using epsom salt for a detox bath. This is the most popular type of detox bath and my preferred detox agent because of the magnesium in the epsom salt. Some studies suggest that up to 70-90% of the population is deficient in magnesium, even those eating a balanced diet. 

I always recommend magnesium as a supplement to my health coaching clients for help with sleep, digestion, and headache or migraine relief. This important mineral can be absorbed through the skin in a detox bath and you’ll be amazed at how much more relaxed and peaceful you will feel after just a 10-15 minute soak. 

Simply draw a bath in the evening to unwind from your day and then add one to two cups of epsom salts. You’ll see the salt will slowly start to dissolve. Aim to soak for at least 15-30 minutes or longer if desired. I usually get pretty pruny and hot by the 30 minute mark. 

You can find epsom salt in your local pharmacy or grocery store. I’ve also linked my favorite epsom salts here for ya on Amazon. 

 

Tips for the perfect detox bath:

In addition to epsom salt, you can add 2 to 4 cups of aluminum-free baking soda to your bath. Baking soda is naturally alkalizing for the body- meaning it lowers acidity and brings the body back to it’s proper pH levels. 

Another way to have the most optimal soak is to use clean, filtered water. I use the Berkey shower filter and have talked about it in this post here on why water filtration is so important. However, I had not come across a solution to a bath tub filter until I discovered the Crystal Quest Bath ball filter. It removes chlorine and other major contaminants for about $65. 

Consider a few of my other favorite tools for a stress-free detox bath ambiance:

-add a few drops of Doterra lavender essential oil to your bath 

-light a nontoxic beeswax candle

-listen to a meditation

-read a book

-drink a glass of the healthiest, hangover-free wine: Dry Farm Wines

-or hydrate with Sakara detox, digestive, and sleep teas (code XODANIELLE for 20% off!)

 

And there you have it! The perfect way to take a detox bath. So, have you guys ever tried one? They are simple yet SO effing effective. Let me know!

And if you’re looking for more natural solutions to combat stress and reach optimal health, shoot me a message! I’d love to chat with you. 

Until next time.

XO, Dani

I started my Instagram account back in college whe I started my Instagram account back in college when Instagram first came out (yikes aging myself here lolz) and the same year my Mom got diagnosed with a very aggressive form of stage 4 ovarian cancer. 

Most of you guys have seen me over the years post about how this changed the course of my life, pushing me into a deep rooted passion for all things health & wellness - out of fear of wanting to avoid the same future diagnosis for myself AND to heal myself, specifically my lifelong issues with my skin.

11 years ago we spent Christmas in Seaton Hospital here in Austin, Texas as my Mom was pushed into surgery as the first wave of her “treatment.” If you’re new to following me, the story goes that my Mom decided to treat her cancer 100% holistically. 

And she’s successfully managed it herself since Dec 2011. Her 10 year anniversary was last year and this year the message of how lucky our family is has been on loop in my mind. I know this is rare and it’s not lost on me for one second how special and unique our circumstances are. 

I specifically remember eating take out pizza from Whole Foods (before I even knew what a health food store was ha!) in the hospital room on Christmas Day watching my Mom recover in her hospital bed, all of us so full of fear of what the future would bring.

Now being back in Austin, living here, driving by that hospital, going grocery shopping at that same Whole Foods, it’s a wild TRIP. So, this is an appreciation post for everything this major life circumstance taught me. And how it has 200 million bajillion % only changed my life for the better. 

Happy holidays babes.

WHO IS YOUR CLEAR SKIN SELF? Who is the best ver WHO IS YOUR CLEAR SKIN SELF? 

Who is the best version of you, the future self version of you, the acne free YOU?

Start meditating on this and daydreaming about who she is, what she looks like, and how she feels everyday.

This mindset trick changed the game for me when it came to finally breaking through barriers and repeated patterns around my skin! I swear it’s like the secret weapon for a good skin day. I know it sounds crazy but it’s so true because here’s the thing…

If we constantly program our minds to identify as someone who is “acne prone,” we inevitably will repeat that cycle, that loop, that pattern. So, rewire and change the story in your brain.

Need help getting started? DM me “meditation.”

Feel overwhelmed and confused about what foods are Feel overwhelmed and confused about what foods are or are NOT safe for a clear complexion? What is or isn’t going to trigger ACNE? Or just even what is or isn’t generally healthy?

This morning I was trying to think back to when I first got really into the health & wellness world and slowly started flirting with diet changes - of course with the ultimate goal of healing my skin and a slew of other symptoms.

I became obsessed with reading books and listening to podcasts and soaking up every piece of info I could find and then (treating myself like a personal science experiment lolz) would spend hours in my local health food stores applying what I had learned that week and picking out new foods to try, cultivating recipes in my little apartment kitchen.

I totally get going to the grocery store can be overwhelming as f*ck. So here are just a few of my favorites and go to brands to grab from the inner aisles at Whole Foods:

- @tolerantfoods pastas
- @primalkitchenfoods dresings
- @bragg evoo organic, unrefined, unfiltered, 1st cold pressed
- Eden organic beans black, kidney, garbanzo aka chickpea
- @foodforlifebaking gf breads and English muffins
- @sietefoods anything
- @artisanaorganics cashew butter
- @threetreesfoods almond or oat milk, etc! Love all their stuff so much.

At the end of the day, a good rule of thumb is to stock up on the fresh produce section first and foods in their freshest, most wholesome state. Then, when it comes to the other ailes like this, buy products with simple ingredient lists that are as minimally processed as possible. 

Have questions on grocery lists for clearing acne? Want more of my favorite brands? DM me “grocery”

Feeling good everyday and clearing your acne isn’t always about the perfect diet or skincare routine. Trust me, you can be eating all the kale in the world and applying all the right products but if your internal world is a wreak, it will show up externally as physical ailments & symptoms. 

This is your body’s way of trying to talk to you and part of healing skin from the inside out is making space for the key nutrients of joy, adventure, and time away to experience the world outside of the sometimes daily monotonous routine. 

And of course the salt water, sunlight, & fresh mountain air can also be magical for the soul and skin 🤪🤍

Hawaii- you were epic.

Just not the whole solution.

Want to know the real way to clear skin? If you have adult acne, listen up. 

It’s internal AND external work. 

It’s slowly overhauling your lifestyle to create change mentally, emotionally, and physically. Building healthier habits with what foods you use as fuel everyday, how you speak to yourself, what products you choose to put on your skin, and so much more. 

Ya feel me? 💚💚💚
