Top 12 DIY Bath Remedies.\u00a0 Whether you\u2019re looking for an easy way to detox your body, some much-needed down time for that overworked mind of yours, or to hit a nice reset button, dipping into a special bath can help you kick things back into gear.<\/p>\n
Wonderful at easing muscle soreness and relieving tension,\u00a0Epsom salt\u00a0can be added to almost any\u00a0bath recipe. It\u2019s also a good source of magnesium and makes skin soft and smooth.\u00a0 Grate in some cocoa butter for extra rich moisture and your favourite essential oil.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just for happy hour! Both the anti-aging properties and the polyphenols in alcohol can reduce inflammation and redness. Try adding a glass of\u00a0red wine bath or a bubbly\u00a0champagne to running water to reap the benefits. Just make sure to rinse off well when you\u2019re done!\u00a0 Optional extra \u2013 enjoy a glass while you soak.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re battling headaches or need a good\u00a0detox bath,\u00a0ginger\u00a0(fresh grated or ground) is just the ingredient you\u2019ll need. It causes toxins to be released through sweat and will leave you feeling cleansed. It also\u00a0helps you sweat out aches from a cold or flu, and clears up chest and nasal congestion. Note that ginger can cause sensitive skin to react, so test it on your skin first<\/p>\n
The perfect way to tailor your bath for your needs, with essential oils having not just great scents to make your bath an experience, but also aromatherapy benefits.\u00a0 We like lavender,\u00a0rose,\u00a0vetiver,\u00a0chamomile or\u00a0sandalwood\u00a0essential oils to help calm you down after a long day.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re suffering from itchy or irritated skin,\u00a0oatmeal\u00a0is very soothing to add to your bath. If anyone in your house gets poison ivy or sunburn, this is a great way to treat it.\u00a0 If you are using a coarse oatmeal scoop it out after rather than washing down the plug hole.<\/p>\n
One of the\u00a0best bath ingredients for soft skin! Mix a tablespoon of coconut oil\u2014which has anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic and anti-fungal properties\u2014into running water to moisturize and soften. Add an essential oil like ylang ylang for a truly exotic bathing experience.<\/p>\n
Noted as one of the most relaxing herbs,\u00a0lavender\u00a0would be the perfect choice to wind down and ensure a good night sleep.\u00a0Dried lavender or\u00a0lavender essential oil\u00a0can be used in your next soak.<\/p>\n
The lactic acid in milk is both exfoliating and softening for our skin\u2014it\u2019s even said to be a great remedy for eczema. \u00a0You could also whisk in a little cocoa for a chocolate milk bath before adding to the tub. \u00a0Just make sure to rinse off well when you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n
Adding a few tea bags to your bath is an easy recipe for reviving\u00a0skin.\u00a0Green tea\u00a0is a perfect tea choice for toning\u00a0your body, and chamomile is a great before-bed relaxer.<\/p>\n
Moisturizing, anti-aging, and antibacterial, honey is a powerhouse for our skin! \u00a0Blend with a little sweet almond oil and add to the tub.<\/p>\n
Both soothing and detoxifying for your skin, baking soda is a simple ingredient to\u00a0add to your next bath\u00a0after a hard workout. It\u2019s also a natural exfoliant, and can help fight acne.<\/p>\n
They aren\u2019t just sweet to smell and equally decadent, but\u00a0rose petals\u00a0and\u00a0rose water\u00a0are also antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing. Create a rose milk bath with powdered milk, rose petals and Epsom salts for the ultimate indulgence.<\/p>\n
No matter which remedy you choose, light a candle, put on some music, shut out the world and relax!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
