Salt Water BathA salt water bath is a useful and easy home detox remedy. You can prepare it easily and cheaply with Epsom salts which you can buy at your local drugstore. Epsom salts are an excellent natural remedy for constipation when taken in a glass of water. When dissolved in a warm bath they provide relief for muscle aches, strains, and body fatigue and stress. They cleanse the lymphatic system as well. You can even prepare hot compresses or packs using Epsom salts and apply them locally to whatever part of your body that is stiff or sore. Epsom salts are derived from the mineral magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is well-known and highly recommended for healthy maintenance of muscle and joint tissue, as well as improved brain and nerve functioning. A relaxing soak in a tub of hot water mixed with Epsom salts can be a welcome and healthful end to a stressful day and provide a gentle and natural body detox. 
Benefits of the salt water bathEpsom salts soaks help to clear lymphatic congestion and so provide an excellent natural body detox! The hotter the water, the more powerful the lymphatic cleanse, but be careful not to overstimulate your body with hot water. Use common sense -- just be relaxed and comfortable, and don't overdo it. How does this work? When you sit in a salt water bath the salt has a drawing effect on the body. By osmosis, water from the body tissues passes through the cell membranes of the skin in an attempt to balance the salinity of the tub water with the salinity of the body. This helps bruised and damaged tissue to rid itself of dead cells and excess moisture. It also helps the body to cleanse itself of lactic acid which accumulates in body tissue due to overexertion, poor circulation or muscle strain.
