 My Rating :  ★★★★★

Detox baths are an inexpensive and effective method of cleansing and helping the body rid itself of toxins. If you want a real treat, try the ginger bath. It is just fantastic!

BLISS!

I like to take one before going to bed twice a week. I sleep so incredibly well. The ginger bath cleanses the body (internally as well as externally) and is so relaxing. I wake up feeling like a new person every single time. 

How to take the Ginger bath?

This rhizome not only finds its
uses in culinary purposes but also
in your bathroom!

You can use either fresh grated ginger or ginger powder. Add ½ a cup of freshly grated ginger in hot or warm water and soak for 15-30 minutes. I usually pour the ginger water into a small pouch so that the grated ginger is easy to get rid of after bath and doesn’t clog my bathtub drain. 

Within 5 minutes of soaking in the bathtub, it feels like body has turned into a tap! Sweat pours down the face.It's uneasy in the beginning but if you sit with a book or with music playing then you will calm down, relax and enjoy the soak. After 30 minutes, get out of the tub and dry yourself . Then wrap up in a large towel and crawl into your bed under the covers. You will then usually sweat for approximately an hour and feel really hot, but you will fall asleep and have a really solid night’s sleep while your body is ridding itself of impurities through the skin.I never combine any other ingredient with ginger bath as ginger alone works well to break that sweat.

I sleep like a baby everytime, and wake up feeling energetic and cleansed !

How it works:

The ginger infusion works wonderfully in treating common cold and flu symptoms. This bath opens pores and eliminates toxins and also helps to eliminate pain.

This method really helps literally sweat toxins out of your body. Perspiration will even pour out of your scalp. I usually oil my hair and do this detox. My hair soaks in oil and after shower looks shinier, fuller with a bounce! The ginger bath opens pores and eliminates toxins and also helps to eliminate pain. It is common to possibly experience a headache and feel almost a slight “hang-over” sensation. If you are feeling really lousy, it is actually a great sign!

For those of us who dont have access to a sauna or steam bath, the ginger bath is a simple and sure way to sweat all those nasty toxins out of your body!

grated ginger so that the it doesn't
clog the drain in the bath tub

Benefits of a Ginger Bath

Detoxifying. A ginger bath is a great way to help your body to eliminate harmful toxins in your body, as ginger helps to promote sweating.  Thus when sweat is expelled from the body, toxins are expelled along with it.

Control Body Odor. Body odor is caused when toxins in the body are eliminated through sweating. Thus when you take a hot ginger bath, it helps you to sweat out more toxins so that afterwards you can smell fresher.

Reduce Cold Symptoms. A hot ginger bath can reduce the symptoms of a cold, as it can warm the body and help to remove toxins. In addition, the warm vapor going up from the bath water will help to relieve congestion

It is very important to drink lots of water during and for two hours after your bath to help replace lost water as your body will sweat out quite a lot of fluid from the heat and the ginger effect.  Be prepared to sweat and enjoy the relaxing sensation that will be sure to come following your weekly ginger bath!

And the best part of this detox bath is 50gm of ginger will cost you only less than $2!!!
