D.I.Y. - Purifoiying Detox Bath Salts

Everyone knows the healing benefits of natural bath salts. They have anti aging benefits both for the skin and internally, they are naturally healing, purifying and therapeutic, reduce inflammation and can even create an alkaline environment for our bodies which is vitally important to be lean, healthy, and strong. If you want to check out more benefits of having an alkaline pH, see my blog Alkaline pH=Great Skin!

I started creating my own bath salts so that I could customize the benefits I was looking for, while making sure everything I used was organic and of maximum benefit to my body and skin. I was also struggling with some pain in my back and stress, so I created this mixture and it has really helped me. It worked so well, that I wanted to share it with everybody! All the items I list in this blog are ones that I have personally used and tested and I am happy to report I feel like a new person and my skin even looks and feels better!



2 very important ingredients I wanted to incorporate were Dead Sea Salts and Sodium Bicarbonate. Dead Sea Salts are unique in that they have 27% more various salts than what is found in normal sea water. They have incredible therapeutic and purifying properties and will improve not only the way our skin looks, but the way it functions as well. They contain a high amount of magnesium which calms us down and naturally helps our bodies to reduce stress. Magnesium actually SLOWS down the aging process and the calcium in
">Dead Sea Salts reduces water retention and keeps our bodies from being puffy both inside and out. Inflammation in our body can be disastrous to those trying get healthy and lose weight. We want to strive to keep the inflammation in our bodies as low as possible which is key is staying healthy and fit. Potassium which is found in the salts as well, is a crucial mineral to balance our skin moisture and keep us energized. Bromide eases our sore muscles after working out and sodium aids our lymphatic fluid balance which has a direct result on our immune system. Plus-there are NO side effects associated with this great healing agent.

Sodium Bicarbonate is actually a miracle to me. An Italian doctor had discovered that he could use it to heal cancer and was sent to prison for 3 years after SUCCESSFULLY treating a terminally ill man dying of cancer and he did it with sodium bicarbonate. I will not go into my strong views and beliefs in regards to pharmaceutical companies, but what I will say is that sodium bicarbonate creates an alkaline environment in our bodies and keeps our pH high which creates a hostile environment to fungi and has a host other benefits as well. It works perfectly at neutralizing high levels of acidity in our bodies. Studies show that people with an alkaline pH are naturally leaner and live longer than those with an acidic pH. I did not make this up. Do your research and try it for yourself and you will see the difference. I work diligently on keeping my body alkaline and I can with say with absolute confidence that I do not struggle with my weight or skin and generally feel pretty good. When I do not feel good, it is usually because I have regressed in some area in regards to keeping up my health routine. I have taken
">sodium bicarbonate tablets for quite awhile now along with my green drink and have really seen and felt a difference.

My favorite Bath Salts creation to date is Dead Sea Salts or Pink Himalayan Crystal Salt, Sodium Bicarbonate, Organic White Thyme Oil and lavender that I grow at home. The Organic White Thyme Oil can be purchased on iherb.com and if you use code VAJ631, you will get a discount! White Thyme Oil has uplifting, empowering, and clarifying properties and when used with the other ingredients has a natural detox and purifying affect on us. This is important especially if we are trying to get fit and healthy. Our bodies want to purify and so adding agents that help it along are very much appreciated and our bodies will thank us by giving us the results we want, and faster. Lavender is calming to our senses and both White Thyme and lavender are a natural anti-inflammatory.

What I do is bust out my mortar and pestle and add the Salts and sodium bicarbonate tablets and crush them up fine. I then add my home grown lavender and crush and mix it into the ingredients. I use jojoba oil as a carrier oil for the White Thyme Oil and then add it as well. I pour it into the tub and soak for about 20 minutes. Usually, while I soak I bring in my natural facial ingredients and do a quick D.I.Y facial at the same time. I made a new facial that includes citrus, distilled rose water, and coconut oil. My skin glows the next day! If you want, I will write about that next time.



I am excited to share this with you and if you do not feel like making it yourself, you can purchase it from me. Just send me a message and I will make a special batch with love and ship it you.

Love,

Rae
