Purifying Seaweed Bath

Even if you can’t go to the beach you can still enjoy the many benefits of seaweed rich ocean water by turning your tub into a home spa and luxuriating in privacy.

 A hot seaweed bath will detoxify, purify and balance your body’s chemistry not to mention give your psyche a boost. The seaweed's electromagnetic action releases excess body fluids from congested cells, dissolves fatty wastes through the skin and replaces them with minerals like potassium and iodine. Iodine boosts thyroid activity, so food fuels are used before they turn into fatty deposits. Vitamin K in seaweeds stimulates adrenal activity by maintaining hormone balance for a youthful body.

 Here's what you’ll need to make your own special blend:

1 cup Epsom Salts

¼ cup Kelp

¼ cup Bladderwrack

¼ cup Dulse

1 strip Kombu

1 cup oats (rolled oats put them in a blender and pulse a few times to break up the oats)

10 drops essential oils (lavender, citrus, rosemary or mint…)

 Combine all the ingredients, place them in a sachet and hang it under the very hot running water from the tub faucet allowing it to dissolve and steep for 15-20 minutes. Test the water temperature and gently slip into the decadent, silky bath. Add a few lit candles along with your favorite and most relaxing music then soak for at least 30 minutes or more.
