Detox Bath for Kids (You could use some of these tips for yourself too.)

Detox baths are simple to do and only require adding three ingredients to the water in the bathtub. Detox baths are also inexpensive as the ingredients will last you months, meaning you can get in lots of detox baths before you need to stock up on supplies.

BENEFITS OF A DETOX BATH

Detox baths are a great way to:

• Support the immune system • Promote relaxation and sleep • Flush toxins from the body • Promote healthy circulation • Increase concentration

HOW TO GIVE YOUR KIDS or YOURSELF A DETOX BATH

Try to do a detox bath once a week, using three simple ingredients:

* 1 tablespoon of coconut oil * 1/2 cup of epsom salt * 3-5 drops of essential oils While the bathtub is filling up with warm water, add the ingredients above into a bowl. (in no particular order). Then dump the mixture into the running water swish your hands through the water to mix. Make sure the epsom salt is fully dissolved and that there are no floating chunks of coconut oil.

Let the kids soak (or play or gently splash) in the detox bath for a minimum of 20 minutes.

TIPS FOR KIDS DURING A DETOX BATH • Do not let your kids drink the bath water. • Avoid getting the bath water in your child's eyes. • Detox baths can make kids thirsty so be sure to provide plenty of water to drink either during the bath or afterwards. • Skip the soap and shampoo on detox bath night for two reasons. One, the oils won’t make their hair extremely greasy. Two, you want the kids' pores to absorb the benefits of the epsom salt and essential oils, not the soap and shampoo. • Detox baths work best in the evening, right before bedtime, because it promotes relaxation and sleep.
