skin. It also eliminates body odor and offers joint pain relief for those who suffer from gout, arthritis and just about any other inflammation-related condition. If you need a detox, an ACV bath is great for sweating those toxins out and even inducing a more restful night’s sleep.
Apple cider vinegar is beneficial as it’s a rich source of vitamins C and B vitamins and contains powerful antibacterial properties. Plus, it can help balance the body’s pH levels too. As the skin is the body’s largest organ, it sometimes needs assistance to remain balanced and healthy, and soaking in an ACV bath helps nourish it to keep it that way.
To use it, fill your bath with warm to hot, but not too hot, water and then add one cup of apple cider vinegar. Soak for 20 to 30 minutes. Afterward, follow with a cool shower to rinse off any excess vinegar.
Fresh ginger root
A ginger root is one of the best ways to eliminate toxins from your body, due to its antibacterial properties. It’s an excellent natural treatment when you’re suffering from a stuffy nose or sinus ache, helping “sweat out” the cold and congestion. Ginger’s potent anti-inflammatory properties are great for relieving sore muscles and easing pain after a workout. It even helps reduce the pain of arthritic conditions. It will make you sweat a lot, so be sure to keep yourself well hydrated while soaking, and ideally, take it near bedtime as it will help ensure a better night’s sleep.
For a ginger bath, peel the skin of fresh ginger root and grate it using a fine grater until you have about a half cup. Add it to a warm bath and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. As it will likely make you sweat quite a bit for an hour or so afterward, plan to wear a bathrobe or clothes you don’t mind sweating in. To enhance the effects, sip a cup of ginger tea while you soak.
