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!
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!
DETOX BATHS AT A GLANCE
- 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
BASIC DETOX BATH RECIPEThis 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.

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 20 drops of essential oil.
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.
