Sweating isn’t the only way to detox. Many spa products: facial scrubs, aromatherapy, body scrubs, facial masks, facial scrubs, bath tea blends and herbal tea blends can help do the job also.
Most people believe that you only start detoxing from the inside out. Yes, that’s true but you can start from the outside in. By removing dead skin, stimulating the outer skin layers down into the deeper areas through massage or bath salts or herbal detox baths, the entire body system is invigorated and prompted to move out toxins.
Drinking herbal teas before, during and after your bath can assist in getting out toxins. You’re detoxing from the inside (with the tea), from the inside TO the outside (with the removal of toxins) and from the outside in via your bath!
A massage before your detox bath also assists in moving out toxins. and is essential for pain relief. By stimulation lymph systems, release from muscle and tissues it it very beneficial in detoxification.
Regularly bathing is a spa bath is a good way to keep illness at bay. By strengthening your immune system, consistently removing toxins, your body already has a head start on fighting flu and colds during winter months. Using bath salts is a great way to help rid yourself of toxins and pain.
This is flu and cold season. The best defense is an offense, and doing a detox with mustard bath is a good way to stay ahead of the germs and the H1N1.
A hot bath with Epsom Salts or other bath salts, coupled with Dr. Singha’s Mustard Bath will detox your body. Eliminating toxins, which weaken the immune system, helps rid your body of potential bouts with flu and colds. The idea here, though, is to keep on top of it. By regularly taking a hot detox bath - which raises body temperature - you are killing off germs. That’s what a fever does where you’re sick. It’s the body’s natural reaction to the virus. Why not help it?
When my throat feels scratchy and I fear I might be bitten by some errant bug, I jump in the tub and ‘boil’ myself for an hour or two. I guess, too, that I am blessed with a good immune system, but I never get sick. I don’t get colds and haven’t had the flu in over 30 years. (knock wood)
I’m not saying that Dr. Singha’s Mustard bath will cure the H1N1 flu or a cold once it’s gotten a good grip on you. No, it’s just a good cold and flu fighter and keeps your system running better to fight off illness.
This is my own testimony to the healing effects of detox baths and bath salts.
On Christmas Eve, I took a nasty fall on the stairs inside my home. I missed the last step and went down like a ton of bricks. Most of my weight landed on my right hand and knee, but my fall was broken (thankfully) by some boxes at the foot of the stairs. As I was falling, and apparently by instinct trying to find balance, I yanked down the brass hall tree, which fell on top of me. I got ’stabbed’ on the back by one of the arms of the tree, leaving a cut and nasty bruise. My leg had a bruise that ran from my kneecap half way up my thigh! (I’m gettin’ too old for acrobatics!)
That night I knew the best thing to do was to take a hot bath in Dr. Singha’s Mustard Bath. This I knew from other ‘over-exertions’ would draw some of the soreness and pain out of my body.
Being injured produces a myriad of chemical reactions in the body. Physical effects include stiffness wherein the affected area tries to immobilize itself to heal torn or stretched ligaments or bruises. We also react unconsciously, by limiting our movements. Taking a hot bath in salts or a detox solution helps to relieve pain and stiffness. It draws toxins from the injured area away and out. Old blood that has pooled due to bruising is stimulated to move out, reducing more pain.
The next morning - I could not believe how sore I wasn’t! I thought for sure I’d really be hobbling and unable to move. Yeah, my knee was touchy and the immediate area where it was bruised was tender, but all in all - I truly believe the detox bath helped!
‘Tis the season for slipping and sliding on icy stairs and sidewalks. A Dr. Singha’s Mustard Bath and oil in your medicinal arsenal will do wonders to help with winter acrobatics!

You can help introduce your friends and family to environmentally friendly living, too.
Give them a GREEN GIFT of organic personal care, 
or bath salts, 
or perhaps some
mustard bath. 
or a detox seaweed bath 
Henna hair coloring 
is a great way to lessen a loved one’s exposure to possible carcinogens in chemical dyes.
You can promote sustainability, independence and encourage environmentally friendly business in impoverished nations by purchasing fair trade gifts. 
Artisans worldwide produce crafts and are paid a fair wage. This also helps preserve ancient crafts which are rapidly disappearing as populations move to urban areas.
Another great way to introduce environmentally friendly living is to get a GIFT CERTIFICATE to start a friend sampling some environmentally responsible products. Often people are a bit hesitant to give up what they know, but once they try things, they find they are doing TWO things at once: saving the environment and being more environmentally responsible themselves!
This could be toward the purchase of a Sun-Mar composter 
or perhaps a rain barrel…, 
or even for a composting toilet 
or maybe for a portable solar powered battery charger, 
which is great for travellers!
We also have unusual 
art and 
gifts like original art 
by local Virginia artists.
There are many ways that you can spread the word about sustainable, green and helping the environment!
Pesticides pose a health risk to humans, especially children. Because the ‘pests’ they are designed to kill - insects, fungi and plants, their use in the past half century has become the norm. Not only farmers use them but the average household uses a frightening amount each year.
Pesticide manufacturers will SWEAR that these products are safe. I once attended a seminar given by some of the folks at Ortho, Spectracide and others. I was absolutely enraged to hear these men LIE about being able to put these toxins on FOOD, then eat them an hour later! I wanted to stand up and scream…, alas, it would have meant the end of my job. They will defend them to the minute they are pulled off the market!
Recent studies show that they cause damage in the following areas of human health:
Skin, lung and eye irritations
Neurological systems
Hormone
Carcinogenic effects
What can you do? Limit your exposure as much as possible and detox your body often. This list gives information of how you can help yourself avoid pesticides and why!
Just a simple start of a detox bath once or twice a week, plus eating organic food, drinking purified water can go a long way to help reduce the toxic load. These poisons accumulate in the body, so it’s time to get rid of them - for a healthier YOU !
Every single aspect of our lives has in it artificial components of plastic, out-gassing (fumes) or toxins of some sort. The sad part about this is that the entire population of this world had no say - and is totally unaware that manufacturers, food producers, agribusiness and technology has contributed to it every day.
Chemicals surround us. Our computers are made from plastics which release chemicals into our environment. If we’ve sworn off caffeine, and drink decaf instead, chances are we’re getting a good dose of chemicals from the decaffeination process. Got that suit back from the cleaners? Guess what it’s been cleaned with? Dry cleaning fluid=chemicals.
If your kids play sports like football or soccer they’re probably rolling around on turf treated with herbicides, pesticides and other toxic lawn chemicals. Additionally, children are especially at risk for health-related illness from pesticide residues.
Think you’re safe at work? Your company probably has a contract with an extermination service and sometimes you’re even sitting at your desk when the guy comes through with the little sprayer tank! Millions of Americans go to work in environments chocked full of chemicals: manufacturing facilities with dust and fumes from chemicals, heavy metals, plastic compounds, cleaning solutions, paints, glues and pesticides. Even if your job does not put you in direct or daily contact, you are still at risk.
WHAT TO DO?
DETOX and eat the cleanest diet that you can. Make every meal a high quailty one of fresh (organic) foods, filtered water. Replace the toxins you introduce into your body in your own home with organic personal care products.
Make every day count!

A healthy body needs to rid itself of toxins. A beneficial treatment is a massage, followed by a detox bath using bath salts.
Massage stimulates the body physically, mentally and emotionally, assisting healing and enabling the body to heal itself. One of the ways that you can help your body is to follow a massage with a detox bath using aromatic bath salts and herbal remedies.
Following a massage, your body’s entire system is in a cleansing mode. Human touch itself is a basic need of life; our body actually responds to touch in beneficial ways. Direct stimulation of muscles helps carry toxins out of the body which is why, following a massage, you should drink plenty of water to flush your body.
The evening after a massage, you can continue the benefits by taking a detox bath in aromatic bath salts or sea salts. The action of the salts further stimulate the circulation which draws out toxins. Other remedies, such as a mustard bath, combined with the salts increases the effects of the bath salts. Epsom salts, which are very permeable through the skin, also serve to enhance the action of the bath or sea salts.
The scent of the aromatic bath salts - or the mustard bath - acts as an olfactory stimulation which relaxes you, assisting further in detoxing.
Help your body heal. Schedule a massage, then go home and soak in a good hot bath!
