So I had all the fun during the Holiday Events and New Years Celebrations! But that left me feeling drained and sluggish. And who wants to start 2020 feeling like that? Since I practice a few different ways to detox my body from impurities, I thought I would share them so we can start feeling more revitalized again! Ginger Detox Bath1. Run a hot bath. It opens the pores and prepares body for cleansing as well as release. 2. Add 2 Cups of Epsom Salts. Epsom Salts are a combination of minerals, primarily magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is essential for multiple body functions. Magnesium Sulfate aids detoxification by strengthening the body's own detoxification methods and opening up primary detoxification pathways. It also helps eliminate heavy metals from the body, increases the body's ability to eliminate toxins through the digestive tract, and increases the production of digestive enzymes produced in the pancreas. It will also relax your muscles. 3. Add two ounces of ground ginger. Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory that increases blood circulation and helps promote the elimination of toxins through sweat, (you can also use 2 Ginger Tea bags if fresh Ginger is not readily available. When feeling like my allergies are worsening, I will drink Ginger Tea while in the bath). Make sure you are drinking a lot of water before and after these baths to keep your body hydrated while it's working at flushing out your system. And please do not take more than 2 of these baths a week. It can be extremely dehydrating. Lemon Cinnamon Detox WaterDetox waters are nothing but water infused with herbs, fruits or veggies to make it nutrient rich along with detoxing properties. There are a lot of detox water recipes available online, but when it comes to body cleansing and intense detoxifying, nothing can beat the basic lemon detox water! Combine all ingredients below and place in fridge for about 2 hours to allow flavors to infuse. 1. 6 cups of filtered water 2. 1 lemon, thinly sliced 3. 1 cinnamon stick 4. ice Adamah Clay DetoxWith Adamah Clay Detox you can aid the body in all its healing processes with clay baths, internal detox drinks, and full body wraps that alleviate inflammation, sore muscles, and revitalize the immune system back to its optimum capacity. 100% Pure Calcium Bentonite Clay.

Adamah’s 400 screen mesh bentonite is the most effective way to pull from yourself positively charged ions, metals, free radicals, and other pollutants. I have worked with this company and I do use their products. I am not writing about them because I am getting a kick back, (I do not receive anything from any brands I write about). I am writing about this product because it works, and I love sharing my favorites with you all. Go to Adamah Clay and check out all the awesome products they offer!
