Foot detoxifying bath with baking soda
Our body loads daily with toxins that harm our body, hence it is so important -for example- to choose foods that help us eliminate those toxins or - in other words - to detoxify us. You can also do this with a detoxifying foot bath.
To do this we must prepare a mixture with 1 cup of Epsom salts, 1 cup of salt and 2 cups of baking soda (you can keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight jar).
For the bathroom we fill a container with hot water (but not so much that you feel discomfort) and add ¼ cup of the mixture that you have prepared. We leave the feet soaking for half an hour, so that the toxins are eliminated through the feet. At the end we pass a brush of natural fibers to remove remains of toxins or dead cells.
It is suggested to repeat the foot bath daily for a week; the next 4 weeks only perform two baths a week; Then continue with a bath a week.
