This past weekend, I actually had some down time and thought what better way to spend that time than to create my own Home Spa Detox experience. It doesn't take much to find that inner Zen that we all yearn for during the chaos of our busy lives. The following our some tips on how to create a relaxing and detoxifying experience in the comfort of your own home.
I began my home detox day with a green drink, combining 1 scoop of Amazing grass in almond milk before heading to the gym. Wheat grass is a great binder, and great to take before doing anything where you could potentially release stored toxins. Other binders include: chlorella, charcoal, or green clay.
My gym has a sauna and steam room which are essential to staying sane in the damp grey climate of Seattle. Don't worry, if you don't have access to either a sauna or steam room I'll share with you on how to get around this in a bit. I did the elliptical for 30 minutes while reading a light hearted magazine. The gentle exercise was enough to get my temperature up and get my lymph moving. I then headed to the steam room with my stainless steel water bottle (don't bring plastic into the heat) that had some electrolytes. Emergen C packets work great.
Hydrotherapy has a golden rule of 3's: 3 minutes hot, 30 seconds cold, repeat 3 times always ending on cold. I used this as my guideline to enjoy the benefits of contrast hydrotherapy to get my blood and lymph moving. I stayed longer than 3 minutes in the steam room until I got too hot, then I jumped in a cold shower ready to return to the steam room. I did this 3 times ending with cold. Hydrotherapy gives me that natural high where my body truly feels relaxed. I followed this with a glass of coconut water, which is an enjoyable way to get hydrated.
If you don't have access to a steam room/sauna, do the Golden rule of 3's in your shower. This is an excellent detoxifying treatment.
After the steam room, I drew a detox bath. I'm lucky enough to have ISun's detox bath to hop in. If you don't have a detox bath soak handy, 2 cups of Epsom salts added to a warm bath is an amazing mineral rich detox bath. Before jumping in the bath, use a dry skin brush to gently move lymph and exfoliate your skin. Read my earlier post to learn the proper way to dry skin brush. Make your bath even more luxurious by applying a facial mask. Don't have one? Apply a thin layer of organic honey on your skin,which is a great source of enzymes, amino acids, and has antimicrobial benefits. Your skin will be glowing. For even greater enjoyment, sip on Yogi Detox Tea.
So there you have it. May you find the time to tap into your inner Zen. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you!

An at home spa sounds lovely! Something so easy to do and so rewarding, yet so many of us can't find time in the day to do such a thing. Vicious cycle!

Detoxification is important these days. Our bodies absorb many toxins and other toxic substances every day. A regular routine of detoxification is advised. Thanks for sharing this DIY Home Spa Detox! :D
