Detox Your Body and Relieve Muscle Soreness With An Epsom Salt Soak


Epsom Salt is a great way to relieve muscle soreness and flush toxins.  You can buy a box in a pharmacy or grocery store for about $3.00. 

Epsom Salt flushes toxins and heavy metals out of your body, by relieving inflamation.  Epsom salt baths are also a natural diuretic. If you are a little backed up (you know what I mean), take a hot soak and you will be relieved in an hour or so.


Pour about 1/2 cup into a hot bath.  You can also add some essential oil, like lavender or eucalyptus, for aromatherapy.  (You can buy essential oils at Whole Foods.)  While in the bath, stretch with some seated forward bends (hamstrings); cross your ankle over your knee and bend (stretching your hip); twist your spine to one side and the other; etc.

If you are taking an epsom salt bath due to soreness, you will feel some relief within a few hours.  If you take the bath in the evening, you will feel some relief by morning.
