Why Bentonite Clay?
Absorbs Toxins:Sodium bentonite clay is volcanic ash that settled on the seabed and became compressed over time. As it features a high colloidal value, it's excellent for absorbing toxins. Our lymphatic system is designed to detoxify. Its purpose is to capture the toxins, heavy metals, free radicals, and poisons within us and expel them from the colon. If we become constipated though, these toxins are re-released back into the bloodstream. This is where bentonite clay can be of benefit. While soaking in warm water, the clay goes to work absorbing toxins from the pores of the skin. The clay particles absorb the toxins into their own molecules. How this works is because toxins carry positive electrons and clay particles carry negative ones. This allows the clay to draw the toxins outward.
Why Magnesium Chloride?
Absorbs into muscles. Magnesium salt is also known as magnesium chloride, a chemical compound with the formula MgCl2 which usually comes from sea water. Magnesium Chloride is essential for the functioning of the human body.
According to research, magnesium chloride regulates more than 300 reactions that keep our body healthy and functioning properly. Due to the lack of gut health in many, magnesium is better absorbed through the pores of the skin.
Bathing is a great stress reliever. While bathing in the magnesium it relaxes the muscles and releases serotonin which in turn lifts our mood, improves blood circulation and protects the elasticity of arteries and blood clots. Consequently, many doctors recommend bathing with magnesium salts to reduce the risk of unforeseen heart attack.
Magnesium is known to assist in minor foot issues to keep them free of fungus and pain. A magnesium foot soak is a great way to care for the feet.
Its been shown for magnesium bathing to aid in the relief of migraine pain promoting a more relaxed calmer being.
Our body/skin absorbs magnesium into muscles and blood stream. Thus it restores magnesium levels in our body.
Magnesium is a well known natural muscle pain reliever/relaxant that removes muscle soreness naturally and helps to mitigate inflammation and cramps.
Many people use oral medication of magnesium for relief of constipation. While taking a bath the body absorbs magnesium, and in turn it reaches the bloodstream which has been known to lead to bowel movements within 30 minutes to 6 hours. Taking a magnesium bath is much gentler on the body than many oral stimulant laxatives.
Detox ;
A magnesium chloride bath is not just beneficial for healing to the human body, it also draws out toxins from the surface of the skin and can boost the detoxification process of toxins from pesticides to drugs remaining in the body after surgery.
Why Bi-carb Soda?
Relieves skin conditions. Bicarbonate of soda – baking soda – works to neutralize acid, thus regulating pH levels to become alkaline. You may already be aware of its gentle effective way to support many ailments, including muscle aches and joints and boosting circulation. The combination to form a paste by adding a little water can bring fast relief to skin issues, eg; poison ivy, bee stings. The same healing properties to form a paste can be used in a bath to help soothe the skin. But there are other benefits as well. Bi-carb soda can naturally help to detoxify and alkalize the body. People who eat a Western-style diet consisting of sugar, red meats, cheese and other refined foods, along with alcohol, caffeine, nicotine and medications, have a higher acidic consumption. Bathing in Bi-carb soda can be helpful to neutralize, cleanse and detoxify the body. Bicarb soda baths have also been used to relieve skin conditions such as Eczema and Psoriasis. One study found vast improvement curbing the itch and irritation associated with this condition. See the link below. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09546630410024862
