If we want to favor the purification of the body we must first drink a lot and eat well. But we can also help with gods detox baths that exploit the heat of the water and use natural ingredients with detoxifying power.

Not everyone knows that the skin is the largest organ in the body, something that we should keep in mind even when we want to promote detox. Plunging into a nice tub full of hot water can be a way to relax after a tiring day but also a pleasant way to help eliminate toxins through the skin. This natural solution can recharge us with energy, speed up the recovery process from colds, flu and coughs, relieve skin irritation, decrease pain, improve circulation and relax the mind and body.

But what exactly happens during a detox bath? The warm temperature of the water dilates the pores and brings toxins to the surface of the skin. When the water begins to cool, the toxins pass from the body to the water instead. If you use particular ingredients, these will help the purifying process by penetrating the pores of the skin in the first phase of the detox bath.
