Detox Bath Recipes for Children

Our children and ourselves are surrounded by lots of pollutants we come into contact every single day. We breath in more toxins than we can imagine because of chemtrails, gases from cars, fumes and smoke, factory waste, radiation, and a lot more! What we can do is to try to detox the body regularly and to pay a great attention to the quality of our nutrition. 

Taking regular detox baths is the simplest and gentle way of helping the body to cleanse itself. 

How to give Kids a Detox Bath

1. Wash the bath tub with some natural cleansers (baking soda, castile soap, mustard powder, etc).

2. Fill the bath tub with hot water enough to sweat.

3. Neutralize chlorine in water by adding 1 teaspoon of vitamin C powder or 1/2 cup baking soda. Let sit for 5 minutes before adding other detox salts. Neutralizing toxins in water will not be needed if you have a filter installed for your bath water. Installing a filter is the best as it may help to remove other water contaminants too such as flouride, heavy metals, pesticides. 

4. Give some clean water to children to drink. 1 cup of warm water is recommended. 

5. Add detox salt mixture to the bath tub.

6. Have kids get in the bath tub and let them soak for 20-30 minutes.

7. Do not use soaps during detox baths. 

8. Give some water to children after the bath. 

9. Detox bath frequency: once a week or more. 

Important notes

• Never mix Magnesium oil and Epsom salt in one bath. You can use them in separate baths. 
• Baking soda helps with magnesium absorption and neutralizes chlorine in the water.
• Add 1/2 cup of Epsom salt per 50 lb weight (for standard bath tubs) 
• Add 1/4 cup of Baking soda per 60 lb weight (for standard bath tubs)
• Use 1/2 oz of Magnesium oil by volume per 50 lb of weight (for standard bath tubs)
• Magnesium co-factors: bicarbonate and boron.

Detox Bath recipes

Use at least 1/2 cup of Epsom salt for each 50 lbs. If you have 2 kids weighing about 40lb each, then use about a cup of Epsom salt. Robert Bernardini suggests using more Epsom salt for detox purposes. He suggests adding about 1-2 lbs of Epsom salt for each bath. The below proportions are normal for regular detoxing, but you can increase the amount if you want. 

Detox bath #1

• 1 teaspoon of vitamin C powder or 1/4 cup baking soda to neutralize chlorine – not needed if the water is filtered;
• 1/2 cup of Epsom salt OR 1 oz (by volume) Magnesium oil;
• 1/4 cup Baking soda (helps with better Magnesium absorption);
• 1 Tbsp of Borax (provides Boron which helps with better Magnesium absorption – optional, but recommended).

Instructions:

1. Fill the tub with hot water enough to sweat. Avoid too hot water that may cause burns.
2. Neutralize chlorine in water by adding 1 teaspoon of vitamin C powder or 1/4 cup baking soda to the filled bath tub. Let sit for 5 minutes before adding the Epsom salt. This step is not needed if you use a water filter.
3. Add the Epsom salt and other ingredients. Let kids soak in this detox bath for about 20-30 minutes.
4. Let the children drink a cup of mineral-rich water after the bath.

Detox Bath #2

Needed:

• 1 tsp Vitamin C powder OR 1/2 cup baking soda to neutralize chlorine – not needed if the water is filtered;
• 1 cups of Epsom salt
• 1 Tablespoon Coconut oil
• 3 Tbsp Bentonite clay
