Today I'd like to share four healthy bath tips you can use to save money.
Why spend an arm and a leg on expensive bath products when you can whip up wonderful bath ingredients from your own kitchen?
Ginger Bath
Peel and coarsely chop an inch of whole ginger. Put in an old stocking, tying one or both ends to keep the ginger inside. Place in a tub with very warm running water. A ginger bath will help to detox your body and soothe your skin.
Apple Cider Vinegar Bath
Add half a cup of vinegar to your bath to help combat fatigue and invigorate the body.
Baking Soda Bath
To relieve itching and various skin irritations, add a half of a box of bicarbonate of soda to your bath. A soothing baking soda bath is also great for sunburn.
Milk Bath
Add 1 cup of instant milk powder to your bath to make your skin silky soft. You can also add a few drops of lavender essential oil to relax you before bed.
I learned these healthy bath tips from my friend Victoria, the creator of Tooth Soap.
That's all for today.

These are great ideas, but I have a question about those of us who live in areas where the water is chlorinated: we read on most of the health websites that by soaking or even showering in chlorinated water our pores open up and allow this poison into our bodies. How can we offset this and still enjoy these wonderful soaker baths?
ReplyDeleteTo soak in chlorinated water, turn on your exhaust fan, fill the tub, close the door and leave for about 10 minutes. For a shower, install a shower head filter.

ReplyDeleteIf you have a shower head filter, just use the shower to fill up the bath tub to remove the chlorine.
