Carmen's Bodymind Integration & Holistic Alternative Therapies

I have been recommending Epsom salt baths for my 20+ years as a BodyMind Therapist. My friend Rebecca LeCompte put it so perfectly in writing today. I just had to share this with you. Epsom salt baths! Are you in the habit? Last year, everywhere I looked on health blogs, there were recommendations to take Epsom salt baths with added essential oils. Here are some of the top reasons why you should consider adding Epsom salt baths to your self-care and pampering routine: 1. Eas...es stress by resupplying magnesium to the body. This helps with healthy reaction to stress by aiding the production of serotonin, which lifts mood & increases calmness. 2. Helps you sleep more restfully if taken right before bed. Add some lavender oil to really enhance the feelings of relaxation. 3. Epsom salt baths help reduce inflammation--that means less aches and pains. 4. Epsom salt baths can support your detox efforts as they pull toxins from the body through reverse osmosis. Detoxing helps support your immune function. Pretty cool, right?! 5. Epsom salt baths just make your skin feel softer and healthier, too. *Improved ability of the body to use insulin, reducing the chance of diabetes. *Improved heart health preventing hardening of the arteries and reducing blood pressure. *Improved nerve function due to electrolyte regulation. *Improved oxygen use. *Better absorption of nutrients.

Oil Pulling HOW To! Step 1: For the best effects, oil pull first thing in the morning right after you get out of bed before you brush your teeth or drink anything. Step 2: GENTLY swish 12 tablespoons of coconut oil in your mouth and between your teeth for 10-20 minutes making sure that you don’t swallow any of the oil. (Do this gently so you don’t wear out your jaw and cheeks!) When first starting you can use 1/2 - 1 teaspoon oil for just a few minutes Using the hard co...conut is best for this use. STEP 3: Spit out the oil in the trash - not the sink so it doesn’t clog up the plumbing! Immediately rinse your mouth out with warm water. STEP 4: Finally, brush your teeth as normal! Working this into your self care routine 3-4 times weekly is great! Add a few drops of Wild Orange, Lemon, Peppermint, Spearmint, Cinnamon, Myrrh or On Guard for added benefits and flavor.
