DETOX BATHS AT A GLANCE

DETOX BATHS AT A GLANCE

There are so many incredible ways to use essential oils, and adding them to our bath routine is one of them! Detox baths can be an incredible way to help your body through acute needs, help with skin issues, or help you get back above the wellness line as soon as possible!

Helpful when we are under the weather

Can be great for both kids and adults

Are a great, customizable way to use oils for specific needs

Use magnesium and essential oils to help the body process and detox from invaders, environmental exposures, and more

Use very warm water, sit for 40-60 minutes, and ideally sweat during that time

Detox baths are a really great way to give your body comfort, support, and a little TLC! This is a wonderful tool when you are feeling your defense go down (or they have already been breached!) or are fighting an acute skincare or muscle need. Essential oils, baking soda, and Epsom salts or magnesium flakes combined in hot water can help flush impurities from the body by allowing it to sweat out toxins!

BASIC DETOX BATH RECIPE

This is a super easy way to use essential oils and also help give your body some magnesium! We like the magnesium flakes (less processed), but epsom salts will work as well.

1 cup magnesium flakes

½ cup high quality baking soda (optional)

20-40 drops essential oils of choice

Simply add oils to magnesium and mix well.

To use, run hot water into the container of salts and let it overflow into the tub!

When adding essential oils to detox baths, you can use your own judgment on the number of drops, but remember that we are using this for an acute need (versus a relaxing soak!). Because of that you want to use enough oil to give your immune, respiratory, or other body system the boost that it needs. For most detox baths, we use around 30 drops of essential oil. When we are making detox baths for our little ones, we usually use about 15-20 drops of essential oil, depending on their age. You can use your discretion and start lower and add as desired!

The goal with a detox bath is to sit in the bath with the water as hot/warm as comfortably possible. Ideally you are sweating as you soak so that your body is processing (detoxing!) the invaders! You want to sit in the bath for 40 minutes or so, up to an hour. The first 20 minutes will give your body time to remove toxins from your system while the last 20 to 40 minutes will allow you to absorb the minerals in the water and help you emerge from the bath feeling rejuvenated.

Some of our favorite oils for detox baths include:

Northern Lights Black Spruce, Idaho Blue Spruce, Frankincense, Copaiba

Dorado Azul, Ravintsara, Eucalyptus

Cilantro Vitality, Lemon, Pine

Purification, Thieves, Aroma Siez

FLEW-AWAY DETOX BATH

This is the recipe we swear by for acute immune needs! If you don't have all these oils, use what you have on hand. Feel free to play with the number of drops for a recipe that is exactly what you want! Also, we like to use tepid water in the presence of a fever for even more comfort.

1 cup magnesium flakes

½ cup high quality baking soda (optional)

15 drops Ravintsara

6 drops Frankincense

6 drops Idaho Blue Spruce

3 drops Dorado Azul

2 drops Eucalyptus Radiata

1 drop Wintergreen

Add oils to epsom salt and mix well, then run hot water into the jar of salts/oils and overflow into the tub to mix!

RAINDROP DETOX BATH

This curated set of essential oils is a powerful tool for promoting health, wellness and vitality – both proactively and for acute needs since the oils included can be incredible tools for healing! We love using these oils in rollers, massages, and in detox baths.

1 cup magnesium flakes

1 drop each Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Peppermint, Valor and Aroma Siez essential oils

ROARING 20S DETOX BATH

If you lived through 2020, then you know that Pine, Geranium, and Lemon are huge players in our arsenal for ‘that which shall not be named.' Grab this recipe to help provide comfort and support for your immune system!

1 cup magnesium flakes

½ cup high quality baking soda (optional)

10 drops each Lemon, Geranium

15-20 drops Pine

SKIN SOOTHER DETOX BATH

This is one of our winter time go-tos. Adding oatmeal to the bath is helpful for more acute skin needs, especially for children. Think conventional oat baths but without the fragrance!

1 cup organic oats, ground

¼ cup organic powdered milk (or coconut milk) (or goat milk)

1 Tbsp liquid castile soap

2 tsp Vitamin E oil

10-15 drops Frankincense

5 drops Lavender

5 drops Helichrysum

SOOTHING ACV DETOX BATH

This one is incredible for both the skin and for joints! An ACV soak with magnesium is a great way to support active lifestyles.

¼ cup ¼ cup magnesium flakes

¼ cup organic oats, ground

2 Tbsp sweet almond oil

10 drops each Frankincense, Idaho Blue Spruce, Lavender

¼ cup raw organic apple cider vinegar

Mix together and add to bath water. Then add ACV to the water and gently mix.

GENTLE DETOX FOR LITTLE ONES

This is a great recipe to tweak for your little ones! You can alter the oils as needed for specific issues, or you can add even less oils for younger children. If your child has trouble staying in the bath, consider reading to them or playing music while they soak!

1 cup magnesium flakes

½ cup high quality baking soda (optional)

15 drops Frankincense

5 drops Lavender

Simply add oils to magnesium and mix well.

To use, run hot water into the container of salts and let it overflow into the tub!

ESSENTIAL OILS

When you have a cough or cold or feel one coming on, you just want to be comfortable – especially if you still have to work, travel, or take care of your children or loved ones! (click on the individual oil pictures to learn more about the oil)

Thieves Essential Oil Blend:

This blend is our go-to for all things immune system related! It's the blend infused into the chest rub and cough drops we just talked about – and for good reason! We love to apply and diffuse this blend, add Thieves Vitality to a mug of echinacea tea, or add it to epsom salts for an immune supporting detox bath!

Frankincense Essential Oil:

Frankincense is an immune and respiratory powerhouse! This historical oil has been used for centuries for health. Apply it with Thieves, Lemon, R.C. or Purification to the chest and back, add a few drops to the Thieves Chest Rub when you apply, add Frankincense to epsom salts for a detox bath, and diffuse this oil when you're feeling down. Get it in, on and around you as much as possible!

Lemon Essential Oil:

Lemon is a wonderful oil for soothing cough and creating comfort in times of congestion. Diffuse it, apply it with Frankincense and Thieves Chest Rub, add a few drops of Lemon Vitality to echinacea tea, and add Lemon to detox baths. Lemon is high in limonene, a constituent highly regarded for its immune system support.

R.C. Essential Oil Blend:

Standing for Respiratory Comfort, R.C. essential oil blend is a gentle eucalyptus blend that we love for soothing and comforting the respiratory system. Diffuse, apply, and add this oil to detox baths as much as possible. This is a great choice for little ones too!

Purification Essential Oil Blends:

This purifying blend is another favorite for immune and respiratory needs. Containing Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Myrtle and other purifying oils, it makes a great addition to your comfort routine during times of cough or cold. Diffuse, apply, and add to bath salts.

Raindrop Technique Collection: This curated set of essential oils is a powerful tool for promoting health, wellness and vitality – both proactively and for acute needs since the oils included can be incredible tools for healing! This collection features nine essential oils with immune and respiratory support properties. We love them for making rollers and adding to detox baths!

Thieves chest rub & cough

THIEVES CHEST RUB

A must-have for every medicine cabinet, Thieves Chest Rub is a 100% plant-based alternative for over-the-counter cough and congestion relief. This natural chest rub soothes sniffles, coughs, and congestion for the whole family with a powerful blend of essential oils and natural, plant-based ingredients.Plus the easy-to-use bottle doesn't even require you to get your hands messy!! The formula is free of petroleum, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, synthetic perfumes or dyes, artificial colors, or preservatives and still packs an incredible punch when it comes to cough and cold! Pure ingredients and all the power of Thieves kicking that chest congestion to the curb? We will take some of that!

Sadly, conventional chest rubs are filled with synthetic additives and diluents, and even the ‘natural' options are less than ideal. Many options use petroleum as a base. Petroleum (petrolatum) is often not fully refined in the US, which means it can be contaminated with toxic chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.Many ‘natural' chest rubs also contain impure essential oils or other lower-grade components that don't meet the same standards as the ingredients found in Young Living products. The active ingredient in the most popular over the counter chest rub is actually a synthetic version of Ravintsara essential oil! And we are always going to choose the original over a synthetic copy, especially when it comes to our health and our family's health!

THIEVES COUGH DROPS

Get natural, quick, and safe cough, congestion, and sore throat relief Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops! These are a staple in our cough and cold toolbox. They are easy to keep at home or take on the go, made with naturally derived ingredients, taste great, and work wonders!

Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops are minty, spicy, and sweet without processed sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives found in conventional cough drops. Infused with Cinnamon Bark, Peppermint, and Lemon essential oils, these menthol-based drops make soothing coughs and colds simple and tasty.

THIEVES HARD LOZENGES

Infused with Young Living's signature Thieves essential oil blend of Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Lemon essential oils, these lozenges are one of the things we reach for to keep our immune systems firing on a daily basis! The Thieves Hard Lozenges are a sugar-free dietary supplement to add to your daily wellness regimen with more of a cinnamon taste than a menthol one.We use these daily when we need a lozenge, when we travel to bolster our immune systems, and sometimes in place of the Thieves Cough Drops when we are out or if someone doesn't want the strong menthol taste of the drops (but it's that menthol that helps open the airways and soothe the throat!).
