The DIY detox bath – Get Rid of Pains, Harmful toxins, Pesticides and Heavy Metals

July 12, 2018 by Anya 21 Comments

Today, more than ever, we must detox. The good news is there are plenty of ways to support detox that are both simple, affordable and even relaxing. The presence of toxins in the body leads to acne, fatigue , headaches, and even cancer. Your immune system works best when your body is clean. It has less work to do when no toxins are present, and can fight a stronger battle against germs. To detox the body basically means to cleanse out anything that your body or cells do not need.

Usually people treat these issues with medication when all that may have been required is a thorough detox, supplemented with Spirulina.

Spirulina is loaded with minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and amino acids. Taking a bath with spirulina helps to  nourish and soften the skin.

This is one of the best natural methods known to alkalize the body. Spirulina boosts the elimination of toxic components from our bodies. Many studies found  that spirulina was able to remove heavy metals from the system.

Spirulina contains chlorophyll which is used for “detoxification” by helping remove toxins such as heavy metals and other pollutants from the blood

Using a powerful mineral base such as Epsom salts in a bathwater medium creates a process called reverse osmosis. This process pulls salt and harmful toxins out of the body and allows the magnesium and sulfates to enter into the body.

You can find the best organic brand here 

Add these ingredients to a detox bath:

½ cup spirulina, mixed in a pitcher of warm water

½ cup sea salt

7 drops essential oil (I like to use a mixture of lime, bergamot and grapefruit). (where to find)

 

You can find the best organic brand here 

 

For Spirulina that is guaranteed organic and sources from trusted farms and ranches, try Living Traditionally’s Organic Spirulina from the Living Traditionally Store http://www.livingtraditionallystore.com.

Can everybody take spirulina?

Though high quality spirulina is free of side effects, it does contain iodine. This means that  people who are  sensitive to iodine should avoid taking it. Additionally, people with hyperparathyroidism should also avoid spirulina.

Those who are highly allergic to seafood or seaweed should also avoid taking spirulina.

    I am 74 years old. Im very active and in very good health. I’m using collagen powder. Would spirulina be a better choice for me. I can’t afford to purchase both collagen and spirulina. Thanks.

      Hi Carole! Thank you for your question. To be honest, I would recommend collagen for you because after 50, our bodies stop producing collagen. And it’s like glue that holds us together.

      collagen and spirulina are not interchangeable.. They are two completely different substances. I agree that collagen is probably more helpful since you have to choose.

      Hi Marianne! I would take 1 tablespoon a day. More than that will not be absorbed by the body!

      Hi Sheila! You can just take spirulina internally. It will have an even better effect. https://livingtraditionallystore.com/beautiful-body/organic-spirulina-powder-16-oz/

    Hi Anya, How long with your spirulina last on the shelf? And/or what is the “BEST USED BY DATE” on each package?
    Thanks, Dennis

    Hi Anya, A question about your Wheat Grass Powder. How effective is your powder compared to raw wheat grass that I currently process through my Vitamix? Also, how long is the shelf life? I would like to know how long it will last before losing it’s potency.

      Hi Dennis! The powder that I sell is very effective. It’s pretty much like raw wheatgrass. The shelf life is up to 3 years!

    Spirulina. I add 2 teaspoons of powder to my morning yogurt. It tastes good and mixes well with other add-ins. I store my Spirulina in the refrigerator.
