BAKING SODA/SEA SALT or EPSOM SALT BATH (top of page)

Baking Soda and Epsom Salts or Sea Salt can be a very beneficial detoxification and help remove toxins from the body.  Baking Soda helps to alkalinize the body and most people are acidic due to their diets.  Epsom Salts contain magnesium sulfates and many are deficient in magnesium, a very important nutrient necessary for our health.  Sea Salt also has a detoxifying effect on the body.

 Variations:

• ½ cup of Epsom salts or Sea Salt
• ½ cup  Baking Soda

Moderately hot water (Caution:  you may feel dizzy after the soak due to the hot water and possibly release of toxins.  Relax or lay down after the bath)

Soak approximately 20 minutes (longer may release toxins faster which may cause some flu-like symptoms)

 Or

• 1 cup Baking Soda
• 1-2 cups Epsom Salts or Sea Salt

Bath info the same as above

 Or

• 1 lb. of Baking Soda in bath; soak 20 minutes

Options:  Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil

Magnesium Crystals (top of page)

This is not for internal use. Most people are deficient in magnesium and you need a sufficient amount of magnesium in the body to utilize calcium properly. This is an amazing product that has multiple uses.

Bath: 1 cup of magnesium crystals in bath; soak for 40 minutes.
Foot bath: ¼ cup magnesium crystals in tub with water just enough to cover feet; soak 30-40 minutes

Mix magnesium crystals with water: 50% crystals, 50% water. Spray on bruises, swelling from injuries, aches and pains. This is phenomenal.

I buy from this company: Magnesoothe http://www.magnesoothe.com/  1-877-331-4252
Research online for the many other health benefits of magnesium.

My husband’s story: After a malfunction while riding his bicycle where he was thrown to the road and he was really banged up we used magnesium oil on the places he felt bruised and had swelling. Also I had him soak in a tub with magnesium. This was amazing at how little bruising occurred and how fast he healed. We did not put the oil directly on the road rash area as it stings but did put it all around the open wounds to keep the swelling down. We used nascent iodine and Bag Balm salve on the open cuts. The iodine aids as an antibiotic and helps limit scarring and the Bag Balm works as an antibiotic and keeps the scabs soft while healing.

Salt Purge for Toxins (top of page)

This is a great detox. Most people are carrying anywhere from 5-12 pounds, and possibly more, of sludge in their intestinal tract. This is a very inexpensive method that I have found to help me tremendously. I do it first thing in the morning, spend 3-4 trips to the bathroom and then it’s over – no all day bathroom trips.

Basic instructions:

• 1 quart (4 cups) of purified water (I like to warm it up a bit)

• 2 level teaspoons of sea salt

• Drink the whole thing down in 10 minutes

The website below explains the whole method.
