The Ultimate Detox Bath!

You can make your own mixture with other ingredients, but the basic ingredients are as follows: -2 cups of Epsom salt (and add in another cup for every 50 pounds you are over 100 pounds) -2 cups of baking soda -1/3 cup of ground ginger -Your choice of mint, herbs, or essential oils Add all of those things (or your favorite optional ingredients) into a hot bath as it is running, and swish it around until it is as dissolved as possible.
