Herbal colon cleanse, juice fasting, homemade detoxification – you seem to have tried it all! But did any of it work?

Maybe yes, maybe not, or maybe just a little bit.

The problem may not be on the particular body detox program that you were using. It could be that the body wasn’t quite prepared for it that it was suspended in a state of shock.

But don’t fret. You can execute another body detox program after an imperative rest period. This time though, you have to take note of some home body detox preparations to make sure it will work.

The ingredients are easy to find and the activities are likewise pleasurable especially to the skin.

Bentonite Clay Bath

Bentonite is an organic and natural body detox element that comes from volcanic ash. It could come in powder form and bought online or in local health shops.

Bentonite has the capacity to attract toxic materials such as excess lead and mercury from the body. Enjoy a spa-like experience and immerse yourself in this healthful mud.

Apple Cider Vinegar Bath

Apple cider vinegar is safe to use internally and externally as a body detox recipe. It works by helping maintain the essential pH balance in the skin.

It takes off the itch or irritation from the skin. It is even known to treat other bodily infections.

Add 1 – 2 cups of apple cider vinegar in the bathwater and start relaxing in a nice hot bath.

Epsom Salt Bath

Epsom salts contain an inorganic chemical compound called magnesium sulfate. These salts are easy to obtain from the drug store as bitter salz or bitterzout.

Just mix 1-2 cups of dissolved Epsom salts in your bath water. For more effectiveness, you may cover yourself in a soft towel and sweat off the toxins. Then finish up with a relaxing cold shower.

Contrast Showers

Shifting the water in the shower from hot to cold is a game you can play. But contrast showers actually facilitate the circulation of blood and lymph fluids in the body and gear up the whole body detox process.

Shower in hot water for 3 minutes, then a minute with cold. Do it again and again and the toxins will be gradually eliminated from your system.

Skin Brushing

Another way to stimulate blood and lymph circulation in the body is through a skin brush. Every time you dry brush the skin, you are helping this body organ expel the toxic wastes while removing the old skin.

Get hold of a brush with natural and soft bristles and dry brush before your shower time. It can be a bit uncomfortable at first so brush the skin gently until you get used to it.

You can also supplement skin brushing with olive and castor oil skin rub.

Evidently, preparing yourself for a total body detox is already detoxification in itself. The thing about it is that they can be so soothing and comforting that you will tend to forget that you are actually doing the internal cleansing in the process.
