How to Take a Heavy Metal Detox Bath
The step-by-step setup for an effective Epsom salt soak
What You’ll Need
- 2 cups Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate)
- Optional: 1/2–1 cup baking soda; 1/2–1 cup sea salt; a few drops of essential oil
- Water to drink before/after
- Soft towel + moisturizer
Step-by-Step
- Fill the tub with comfortably warm water (not scalding).
- Dissolve salts: add Epsom salt under the faucet; stir to dissolve. Add optional baking soda/sea salt and disperse any essential oil well.
- Soak 15–20 minutes. Breathe deeply, relax, and allow gentle sweating.
- Rinse briefly with lukewarm water, then pat dry.
- Hydrate + moisturize to replenish fluids and protect skin barrier.
Frequency: Start 1–2× per week and adjust. Consistency over time beats intensity in a single session.

- Sea salt for extra minerals
- Lavender essential oil for calm (5–8 drops, well dispersed)
