Our skin is the largest detox organ of our body. Once I accepted this, I started taking detox baths every night until my skin cleared up nicely. I simply used a recommended bath I had heard about online and added some essential oils for fragrance.
My mom has used oils for years for massage therapy, but I had just thought they were used for their scent alone. I just hadn’t grasped the healing properties they hold until this year.
I was healing from ECZEMA and I found heat helped soothe the itch. The HOTTER THE WATER, THE BETTER. I even turned up the temperature on my water heater. PLEASE USE CAUTION AND DO NOT BURN YOURSELF OR YOUR KIDS!!!
Here’s my nightly detox bath soak
- 1/4 cup Mule Team Borax
- 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide
- 5-10 drops of essential oils (add to a soap first to disperse)
Variation of detox bath soak
- 1/4 cup Mule Team Borax
- Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 5-10 drops of essential oils (add to a soap first to disperse)
During the coarse of my healing, I would soak as much as possible. Almost nightly, and more frequently when my eczema was flaring. I would only use a mild soap such as goat milk soap
I followed my bath by drying completely and rubbing a mix of 1/4 cup vodka, 5 drops of thyme and 5 drops of cloves essential oils on any eczema until the itch has settled, along with any dry spots, zits, moles, and skin tags and allowing to air dry then applying a pine salve I had made onto my eczema. I had tried it before from my mom and loved it so much that I made my own. My homemade salve was still no match to the real time tested formula, so I ordered my own.
