Autumn Detox & Skin Brushing (Pt1)

If you are feeling unwell, fatigued, headachy or unfocused, try these home remedies.   

If you’re working outside the home, as many of us do, try these remedies but be mindful that these formulas are potent. 

Reduce the frequency & the amount of ingredients until you've found what works best for you.

Give yourself a series of detox foot baths & brush your body twice a day with a natural loofah brush. 

This method is called skin brushing. 

 

The aim of these remedies is to stimulate your body’s lymphatic system to push toxins through & out of your body. 

 

When doing these foot baths & skin brushing, be mindful that when toxins are circulated in your bodies, before their release of your body, you may feel even worse than before you started. 

To avoid feeling poorly, DO NOT be overly aggressive with, particularly, the foot baths. 

"The rule of thumb" is that the sicker you are, the more toxins are in your body and awaiting release.  Therefore, be gentle. 

Try a lighter version of the foot baths to start and increase the ingredients as the days & weeks continue.

For the foot bath, these are ingredients you can use, although you won’t need each of them in each bath: 

Hot water
Epsom salts
Sea salts
Hydrogen peroxide
Baking soda 

You can also use:

Bentonite clay
White wine vinegar
Apple cider vinegar 
Raw ginger
