Detoxing doesn’t have to be an extreme or uncomfortable process. A simple and gentle detox program can help your body naturally eliminate toxins, reduce inflammation, and rejuvenate your overall wellness. In this post, we’ll walk through a holistic detox program, incorporating a detox bath, a detoxifying tea, nourishing foods, and therapies at Agape Healing Arts to support your body’s natural detoxification process.
1. Detox Bath Recipe: A Soothing Way to Detoxify through Your Skin
A detox bath is one of the most relaxing ways to support your body’s natural detoxification process. By soaking in a bath filled with minerals, salts, and detoxifying ingredients, you allow your skin to absorb the healing properties and eliminate toxins through your pores.
Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup Diatomaceous Earth: Known for its ability to absorb toxins and parasites from the skin, helping with detoxification.
• 1 cup Epsom Salt: High in magnesium, it supports muscle relaxation and detoxification.
• 1/2 cup Dead Sea Salt: Packed with minerals that help cleanse the skin and support detox.
• 1/2 cup Himalayan Pink Salt: A rich source of minerals that nourish and hydrate the body.
• 1/4 cup Baking Soda: Helps neutralize toxins and softens the skin.
• Essential Oils (10-15 drops):
• Lavender: Calming and soothing for the body and mind.
• Frankincense: Detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Ginger or Lemon: Energizing oils that boost circulation and digestion.
• Eucalyptus: Refreshing and clears the respiratory system.
Instructions:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients (salts, diatomaceous earth, and baking soda) in a large bowl.
2. Add the essential oils to the mixture and stir thoroughly to distribute the oils evenly.
3. When drawing a warm bath, add 1 to 2 cups of the mixture to the water.
4. Soak for 20-30 minutes. Drink plenty of water afterward to stay hydrated.
2. Detox Tea Recipe: Internal Cleansing for Digestive Health
Drinking detoxifying tea is a simple way to support your body’s natural elimination processes. This tea blends powerful herbs that help cleanse the liver, kidneys, and digestive system while promoting hydration.
Ingredients:
• 1 tsp Dandelion Root: A natural diuretic that supports the liver and kidneys in detoxifying.
• 1 tsp Nettle Leaf: Known for its high mineral content, it helps support kidney function and detoxification.
• 1-2 slices Fresh Ginger Root or 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger: A digestive aid that helps reduce inflammation and promote circulation.
• 1 tsp Lemon Balm: Soothes the digestive system and supports liver detoxification.
• 1/2 tsp Chlorella: A potent detoxifier, particularly helpful for removing heavy metals and other toxins.
• 1 tsp Peppermint: Helps soothe the stomach and promotes digestion.
• 1 Cinnamon Stick or 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon: Improves circulation and offers anti-inflammatory properties.
• Honey (optional, to taste): A natural sweetener with antimicrobial properties.
Instructions:
1. Combine all the dried herbs in a tea infuser or muslin bag.
2. Place the infuser into a teapot or cup and pour in hot water.
3. Let it steep for 10-15 minutes before removing the infuser.
4. Optionally, add ginger, cinnamon, or honey to enhance flavor.
5. Drink 1-2 cups per day, ideally in the morning to kickstart your body’s detoxification process.
3. Detoxifying Foods to Nourish Your Body
The foods you eat play a crucial role in supporting your body’s detoxification pathways. Certain foods can help flush out toxins, improve digestion, and enhance liver and kidney function.

• Green Tea: Packed with antioxidants, it helps neutralize free radicals and supports metabolism.
• Water: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support your kidneys in flushing out toxins.
Foods to Avoid During Detox:
• Refined sugars: Can promote inflammation and slow down detox processes.
• Processed foods: Contain chemicals and preservatives that can burden the detoxification system.
