Detox bath with Bentonite clay, Sea salt and Bladderwrack

          You can detoxify your body inexpensively in the comfort of your home with the same high performance ingredients used in expensive spas. This is the purpose behind Uncle Harry’s “Detox Bath.” By noninvasive and nontoxic use of Bentonite clay, hot and cold water applications, sweating and body wraps, you can safely detoxify your body.

The Ingredients and what they can do

          Uncle Harry’s Detox Bath is made of finely powdered Bentonite clay which contains more than 70 trace minerals, mineral rich mined sea salt which has been compacted and kept pure in landlocked environmentally clean areas, and powdered Bladderwrack teeming with trace minerals including iodine. These three natural ingredients work together to produce a powerful detoxification of heavy metals and other impurities in the body. By putting one cup of Detox powder in a tub of hot water, the minute clay and seaweed particles expand and develop electromagnetic properties. The expanded particles develop into a large surface which enables them to pick up many times their own weight of various body toxins. This wide surface is made of a great number of tiny platelets, each with a negative electrical attraction for positively charged toxins. Bentonite clay’s negative charge is responsible for its amazing detoxifying properties: it is a magnet for many toxic elements present in the human body (heavy metals, pesticides, and free radicals), which are positively charged. This physical pulling power also has an absorbent action (like sticky paper) as toxins are drawn into the porous surface of the clay.

           Bentonite Mineral Clay provides an impressive assortment of minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, manganese, and silica in addition to an assortment of rare trace minerals. Trace minerals are essential to good health as they enable the body to absorb nutrients. Uncle Harry’s Mineral Clay contains 71 trace and ultra-trace minerals. Normally, metallic minerals are hard to digest and assimilate; however the metallic minerals in bentonite which have been exposed to the sea, have already been “digested” by sea plants and are thus water soluble and readily assimilated by the body.

Amazing absorbant quality of Bentonite clay

          Dextreit, a French naturopath, demonstrated the drawing and absorbing properties of mineral clay. He wrapped raw eggs in a layer of Bentonite clay and used similar raw eggs exposed only to air as a control group. He noted that those eggs which were wrapped in clay lost three times as much weight as those eggs which were left exposed. He also observed that the egg shell of those eggs which had lost the weight from the clay were intact and did not incur any damage in the process.

Detoxification method and bathtub sauna

          Uncle Harry’s method for detoxification is simple and effective. Fill half your bathtub with warm water and add one cup of Uncle Harry’s Detox Bath powder. Mix the powder in the water until all the lumps are dissolved. Soak in the warm water and reduce the in-coming water to a trickle of the hottest water possible. The bathtub water will slowly fill and the temperature will increase gradually. If, at any time, you feel uncomfortable you can get out of the tub and apply cold water to your face or the back of your neck. If you have a pre-existing heart problem or blood pressure problem, then do not over stimulate your body with the gradual warm to hot water. Just soak in the warm water bath.

          If you are not inconvenienced with the gradually hotter bath water, then continue soaking until the water reaches a level where you can immerse your whole body except for your face. By soaking almost your entire body in very warm water you will increase your body temperature one degree. This will cause your body to sweat and release more quickly many toxins along with the Detox powder’s drawing power. You can also periodically get out of the water and use a hand towel soaked with cold water to rub down your body. A cold water towel rub further stimulates the blood circulation. Also a rubdown with a natural fiber mitt such as Uncle Harry’s Agave hand mitt will tremendously stimulate blood circulation.

How to make your bathtub into a sauna for free

          Once your body is heated by soaking in the water, another technique that increases sweating is to sit with your legs in the bathtub of hot water and cover your head and body with a towel. The steam from the hot water will cause you to sweat profusely.

All over body clay application

          You can directly apply a mixture of water and Detox clay made into a paste all over your body. Let the paste slowly dry, then wash off. Direct application of Detox Bath is very effective for detoxification. ( Detox clay can also be used instead of soap as a body cleanser. Dilute some Detox clay in water, let it sit for five munites. You can apply it all over your body and rinse it off.)

Aromatherapy detoxification

          Another technique for detoxification is to soak in the hot warm bath for twenty minutes. Get out of the tub and towel dry. Apply Uncle Harry’s organic French lavender oil or other suitable essential oils all over your body. You can do this by direct application or dilute the oil in water and spray it over your body. Now, wrap yourself in a clean cotton bed sheet and get under your bed covers and relax. You will sweat profusely with the aid of the essential oils and your own body heat.

          Specific aromatherapy oils or blends for detoxification and immune boosting. All Blends come in 1 oz bottles and cost $16.00. Ten to twenty five drops are sufficient for a bath or ten drops in 4 oz. of water in a spray bottle can be used for spraying your body for an aromatherapy wrap.
