I want to talk to you today about one of my favorite things to do and I do it probably
3-4 nights a week. And that is a detoxifying bath. Something to eliminate the toxins out
of my body in a different way. You know you've heard me talk about detoxifying juices, detoxing
yourself through skin brushing you know opening up your lymphatic system, sitting in the infrared
sauna, doing a hot called plunge, switching back and forth, different things that you
can detoxify your body wit. But today I want to focus on a detoxifying bath and why it's important.
Number one your skin is your largest organ. You probably know that already.
So what you put on your skin, your deodorant, your hair, your conditioner, your facial mask, what
you put in your mouth is going to be absorbed. Your skin is like a giant mouth, and I know
that sounds kind of dirty. Maybe you don't like that, but it's the truth, right? So when
we sit in a bath one thing happened your body temperature rises, and your skin pores open
up. As your skin pores open up, you want to make sure that you have different ingredients
in the bathtub to optimize that time that you're spending in there. So I'd coupled up
three things today with a couple more essential oils to really stimulate the relaxation of
your mind, your body to really get grounded. And two things: Lavender and Chamomile we're
going to add to the central oil mix. And then we have 3 ingredients that we're going to
add to the bath water as well. One of them is Epsom Salt. You can use Sea Salt if you
want to. It's loaded with Magnesium. Magnesium helps you relax. It actually eases the tension
in your muscles as well, and helps repair some those muscles that maybe you strained
or worked out excessively in the gym. So I also have some Baking Soda. Baking Soda helps
balance the pH in the water, and it helps eliminate the Chlorine. Chlorine is something
that you don't want to absorb all time in your body as well. So if you had an option
to swim in salt pool versus a chlorine pool, I would tell you to go for the salt always.
And then also use this in your bathtub to help balance that out and it also help alkalize
your body. Your pH should be around 6.5-7.5 in your body as well. We also some ginger
now you probably have heard a baking soda and epson salt in your bath before but not
a lot of people are utilizing some of the pulp we get when we make juice. When you juice
ginger, you do a ginger shot, and tumeric together. One of our tumeric elixirs
with a little bit Cayenne Pepper on top. You can just grab that pulp, like I have here,
and throw that in the bath tub. Now ginger presses out the toxins in your digestion system.
It heats up your body internally. So when you have it on your body externally it does
something similar as well. Helps clear your skin, so you get that glowing radiant skin
that everybody wants, help you look younger, and it feels absolutely amazing. So those
are the 3 ingredients. Now how do I take a bathtub. Generally, I like to go into the
bathtub with an intention. Something that I set my mind on so that while I'm in there
I can think about it. You see the mind as these crazy things and you can program your
subconscious mind to really command what it is that you want in life. And those things
start to show up your experience so you have 42-50 minutes sometimes in a bathtub to think
about what you want to think about. So instead of doing a mindless chatter, the monkey mind
that most people go through. Why don't you set an intention upon going into the bathtub
to really change your life. To make a difference in somebody else's life. And that's what we
do at FitLifeTV. So while you're sitting there, set the intention. Maybe you grab your journal,
and you write down what you're grateful for. Raise your vibration up that way. Make it as
an experience. The bath should be an experience every time do you get in there, and when you
get out you should feel like a better person. You're washing off all the old person of the
past and you becoming something anew. It's almost like a butterfly, the caterpillar becoming
the butterfly that's your opportunity to expand and become a better human being. That's what
I look at this detoxifying bath is, and that's what you can do too today with your detoxifying
bath. Do it, make it a habit. As I've said before it takes 17-21 days to make a habit.
Try it out, see what it does for you. I want to know if your taking baths now, if you been
able to detoxify your body, and get some clarity by relaxing giving yourself this time. If
you have a relationship, if you're married and you're not spending enough quality time,
and the divorce. Maybe you're thinking about the divorce, so the relationship is a little
rocky maybe try taking a bath together. And this is 45 minutes of uninterrupted time,
your kids are off the house doing something else. But it's you two talking, communicating,
and becoming one once again. It's so important to do this Fitlifer. Use these ingredients,
let me know what you think I'm giving away a juicer again this week. When you leave a
comment below on the blog I have one Kuving's juicer coming out to one lucky winner who
tells me how they've inspired their community, how they've let it change in the world, and
they're making a difference. I'm Drew Canole, remember we're in this together. I'll see
you next week on another exciting episode of Saturday Strategy.
