A body detox program shouldn't be all about suffering and
sacrifice. It should be fun, too! Learn about some of the
different spa treatments that you can try to give your
natural body detox a boost:
1. The foot bath. So let's discuss your feet for a moment.
Your feet? Yes. Many people involved in a whole body
detox enjoy a detox foot bath. This is not the same as the
plastic vibrating foot bath you got as a gift that you
never use. A detox foot bath uses a metal container that
puts an slight electric charge in the water. This charge
won't hurt you, but it binds to the toxins in your body and
transports them out through the pores in your feet. One
thing you will notice is that your sinuses will drain
almost immediately.
2. Skin brushing. This is a great pick-me-up for any whole
body detox. It involves taking a brush with natural
bristles and going over your entire body with it. Use a
long handled brush. Do it before you shower. Start at the
soles of your feet and work your way upward to the top of
your head. This stimulates blood circulation and helps get
the lymph system going. It also just plain feels good, too.
3. Contrast Showers. These are extremely popular and very
easy to do at home. Simply jump in the shower and make it
as hot as you can for about 3-5 minutes. This is important
in any natural body detox as it helps remove toxins from
your body. Next, turn the water to cold for anywhere
between 30 seconds and 1 minute. This closes your pores to
avoid any other toxins seeping in from the bathroom. It is
also very invigorating.
4. Clay Baths. Clay-bentonite clay in particular-is known
for it's abilities in drawing toxins out from the body.
While you may pay out the nose if you go to a spa for this,
there are many versions you can do at home. The advantage
of this treatment in your whole body detox is that it can
draw metals out of your system that not many other
treatments can. If you have never done a clay bath before,
you will be surprised by how good it feels.
5. Herbal Steams. Ever hold your head over boiling water
with a towel draped over your hair? Herbal treatments work
the same, but have the added benefit of using certain
plants with known detox properties. Boil up some today,
place a couple of drops of essential oils on your forehead,
and get to it!
6. Epsom Salt. This old-fashioned remedy is a boost to any
whole body detox. Epsom salts supply sulfate to the body
to aid in removing toxins. Dissolve some in a hot bath.
Finish off with a shower in cold water to close pores to
avoid any new toxins coming in. After that, cover up and
go to bed so you can sweat toxins out overnight.
Using any and all of the methods above will not only help
detox your body but make you feel pampered a little in the
process. They are a great way to benefit your health and
pamper yourself at the same time.
