By jsides

Ingredients

• 1-2 cups of Epsom salts (you can get these really cheap at Amazon.com)

• 2 tbsps powdered ginger (I’m sure ginger root would be best, but I was too lazy to cut it up)
• 1/2 cup sea salt (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Draw your bath as hot as you can stand it. Pour ingredients into bath and soak for 40 minutes. They say the first 20 minutes is to detoxify and the last 20 is so your skin can absorbed the minerals. You should be having a good sweat in this time, be sure to hydrate during your bath. I drank two glasses before, one during and two after.

When you get out of the tub, do so slowly. You are more then likely light headed at this time. Dry off and wrap yourself in a towel and cover in a robe. I took it a step further cuddled up on the couch with a blanket. You will feel very warm for at least an hour afterwards. You want to keep sweating it out!

DO NOT put lotion or anything on your skin after and don’t eat immediately after. Give yourself that hour to let your body do it’s thing.
