HOW DETOX BATHS WORK.
If your body is congested with toxins from the physiological stress of modern living it is unable to utilize the nutrient dense food that is consumed.
The reason behind “water as hot as can be tolerated” in many detox bath recipes is because this initially draws toxins to the surface of the skin. Then, as the water gradually cools down, the toxins are pulled into the water via the principle of osmosis – the weak energy from the cooling water draws from the strong energy from the body heated up initially by the very hot water.
If the wisdom of cleansing baths appeals to you, below is a primer on four different types of therapeutic baths. Generally speaking, a cleansing bath 2-3 times per week with only one per day maximum works well for people who want to gently encourage the detoxification process.

BAKING SODA DETOX BATH:
Dissolve 4 cups of aluminum-free baking soda in a regular size tubful of water as hot as you can tolerate. Use more as needed if your tub is oversized. Stay in the bath until the water has cooled which will take approximately 45 minutes. Do not rinse after the bath – simply towel dry.
This bath is beneficial for exposure to irradiated food, swollen glands, sore throat or soreness of the gums and mouth. It is also beneficial for those with digestive issues.

EPSOM SALT BATH FOR DETOXING:
Dissolve 2 cups of Epsom salts in a regular sized bath. Use more as needed if your tub is oversized. The temperature should be comfortably warm but not overly hot. Soak for at least 12 minutes and up to 20-30 minutes. Rinse and towel dry.
The scientific name for Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. Magnesium and sulfur are both critical nutrients but surprisingly can be poorly absorbed from our food. Soaking in Epsom salts overcomes this issue as these minerals both absorb readily via the skin. According to the Epsom Salt Industry Council, a simple soak is beneficial to heart and circulatory health, can lower blood pressure, helps ease muscle pain and eliminates harmful substances from the body.
Soak in Epsom salts 2-3 times weekly for general health maintenance or to alleviate the discomfort from bruises and sprains. An Epsom salts soak also encourages detoxification of drugs remaining in the body after surgery.

SEA SALT AND BAKING SODA DETOX BATH:
Dissolve one pound of sea salt or rock salt and one pound of baking soda to a regular sized tub of water (more if the tub is large) as hot as you can stand it. Stay in the bath until the water has cooled which will be about 45 minutes. If the bath is too hot, add some cold water if this is the only way you can manage to stay in for at least 30 minutes. Don’t add more hot water after entering the bath. Do not rinse or shower but simply towel dry after the bath is complete. This bath will likely make you tired so do it in the evening before bed if possible.
This bath is therapeutic for exposure to environmental radiation,
X-rays, plane flights, or airport screenings by TSA.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR DETOX BATH:
Add 2 cups of pure apple cider vinegar to a regular sized tub of water (more if tub is large) as hot as you can tolerate. Stay in the vinegar bath until the water has cooled which will be about 45 minutes. Towel dry and don’t shower for at least 8 hours.
This bath is a great overall detoxifier for muscle aches and pains brought on by physical exertion. It is also helpful and the best detox bath choice for those with candida issues that affect the skin as it returns the skin to an optimal, slightly acidic ph level.
An ACV bath draws excess uric acid out of the body. Uric acid is created when the body breaks down substances called purines in certain foods and drinks. Most uric acid is eliminated via the kidneys in the urine. An ACV cleansing bath can also provide relief for those with joint issues.
NOTE:
Be sure to only do one bathing formula per day. Never mix ingredients from different bath recipes. If you are pregnant, consult with your healthcare practitioner before commencing any detox bath routine.

When it comes to targeted support for sensitivity reactions, there’s no question that is a standout supplement.
But if certain ingredients are missing, your quercetin supplement won’t work as well as it should. Nutritional factors never operate in isolation in your body. They function as members of a team, along with other necessary cofactors.
You can find quercetin, a powerful bioflavonoid, in some common foods such as apples and pears (eat the skins!), berries, red and yellow onions, seeds, capers, broccoli, and citrus fruits. However, if your nose is running like a faucet; or your skin itches because earlier you touched an unfriendly plant; or your digestive tract is in an uproar over the food you just ate, you need larger quantities of this nutrient than you could get from food. This is when a concentrated supplement makes good sense.

But are all quercetin supplements created equal? Not really. Quercetin works significantly better when certain other cofactors are present. Bromelain is one that’s critical. This enzyme increases the absorption of quercetin and enhances the healthy balance of calming and irritating compounds.
Several other factors work as a team with quercetin to return tissues to their equilibrium. Turmeric is renowned for its ability to soothe distressed tissues that have over-responded to pollens or foods. Pantothenic acid and vitamin C both play star roles in supporting the adrenal glands. When hypersensitivity reactions rev up, healthy adrenals secrete cortisol to quiet things down and prevent other immune cells from jumping into the fray. Vitamin C also helps break down histamine so your body can get rid of it more quickly.
If you want to decrease respiratory, digestive, or skin irritation from seasonal, environmental, or dietary challenges, you can count on Quercetin AllerReLeaf® to deliver just what you need.
It contains all the nutritional cofactors that are essential for quercetin to work optimally.

The , or lymph system as it is also called, is a system made up of glands, lymph nodes, the spleen, thymus gland and tonsils. It bathes our body’s cells and carries the body’s cellular sewage away from the tissues to the blood, where it can be filtered by two of the body’s main detoxification organs: the liver and kidneys. Strung along the lymph vessels like pearls knotted on a string, the lymph nodes serve as a series of cleaning filters. Lymphatic fluid percolates through the nodes, being purified and boosted at every stage.
Our bodies have three times more lymph fluid than blood, yet no organ to pump it. Your lymph system relies on our movement, on the pumping action of deep breathing to help it transport toxins into the blood before they are detoxified by your liver. So breathe in that sweet smell of healing oxygen. Breathe out toxins.
