It is a common knowledge that toxic matters are impossible to avoid in our everyday life, just look at the studies showing that toxins can leach from water bottles, laundry detergent and food container. This may seem scary, considering that toxic buildup can slow the flow of lymph. The result is often a backlog of toxins that can trigger cellular inflammation that can lead to body aches, fatigue, stress, weight gain, and other ailments. Fortunately you can avoid these symptoms with these practical tips
- Soaking for 20-minute in lukewarm bath induces perspiration which result in the release of toxins from waste-carrying lymph channels just beneath the skin.
- Epsom Salt Soak. Soaking in hot water with Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) boosts blood levels of magnesium by up to 34% in one week. The body requires magnesium to manufacture the enzymes quinine reductase and glutathione S-transferase, which assist in neutralizing and eliminating chemical toxins. Plus magnesium is a soothing balm for tired, aching muscles. To get the benefits, pour 1 cup of Epsom salts into running water as you fill the tub, then lie back in a comfortable position for 20 minutes, adding more hot water if the bath becomes too cool.
- Soak in rock salt and baking soda combo. The pH of bathwater can make a big difference in how the body eliminates toxins so by soaking in alkaline water the body can rebalance internal pH. To do: Add 2 cups of rock salt and 2 cups of baking soda to hot bathwater. This salt and baking soda combination can relieve cellular inflammation and reduce related symptoms.

Plus, seaweed contains substance that enhances skin suppleness and combat sagging skin. To benefits from seaweed blend use it at least once a week.
- Saunas and Steam Bath: Saunas and steam baths work by encouraging perspiration (sweat) and boosting the circulation, which in turn help eliminate toxins from the system. It is best to spend between 5-10 minutes in the heat at a time and then take a cold shower. Finish the session with a cold shower, and then relax for 30 minutes until your body has adjusted to its normal temperature.

Always start with your feet and toes using long strokes (towards your heart).
