Detoxifying Zeolite Bath
We’ve found that soaking in a bath of zeolite water is very relaxing and helps to ease muscle pain and relieve stress. At the same time, toxic matter is drawn from your skin and just underneath it. Zeolite baths may also help to calm some cases of itchy irritated skin but not if the itch is caused by dry skin.
Add 2 rounded or heaped tablespoons of zeolite powder to a warm bath. A few drops of essential oil can also be added. Remember these points before you enjoy your soak:
- Use warm water for your bath. Don’t have the water too hot as the heat can be debilitating, especially when toxins are being drawn out of your system.
- Don’t stay in the bath for too long, 20 minutes is enough. If you are very toxic, reduce your time in the bath to about 10 minutes and don’t have more than one zeolite bath per week.
- Wait for an hour or so after eating before you soak then refrain from eating for at least 30 minutes afterwards.
- Drink a glass of water before and after your bath.
- Rest for 30 minutes afterwards to let your system readjust.
Detoxifying Hand or Foot Bath
A less time-consuming way to detox is to soak your hands or feet. A foot bath also helps to relieve swollen feet.
Put a tablespoon of zeolite powder into a bowl with 2 – 3 Lt of warm water. Soak your hands or feet for 20 minutes. If your feet are very swollen you can soak for even longer.
