could I get a quick answer on detox bath about to do one?

I don't believe that it is necessary to shower afterwards. I have been doing epsom salt & peroxide baths for a bit & when I get out of one, my skin actually feels silky!!

Ok, Trav. I usually shower afterwards because I feel that maybe there's toxins the salts have pulled out. If you don't shower, then maybe I should re-consider. Then again...maybe there's no 'right' or 'wrong' way to do something this much fun!!!!! This is right up there with "This winter, should I go roll in the snow after I get out of the sauna?????"!!!!! Isn't there some kind of therapy that does something like that? You get hot, then cold, then hot, etc.???? Think the lyme germs would like that????

Ok, I apologize. I've been off antibiotics for 4 days and feel almost human (maybe I DO have a sense of humor???)....I want to remember this next week when I'm herxing....

Mamyou, hee hee.

What I've read seems divided between people who think it's good to wash off additional toxins with a shower, and people who think it's good to leave the salts etc. on the skin. I'm not sure, if one dries vigorously, how much more stuff would be removed by taking a shower. Hey, I read about that hot/cold thing in a novel recently; it was a way to achieve immortality. Well, that and a bunch of other unspecified practices.

I've got a question about detox baths. I should probably post it as a separate thread, but since my last thread went completely unanswered, maybe I'll just tack it on here and hope for the best. For the last five days the pain in my left shoulder has been getting worse and worse. I figured I was finally getting the Lyme arthritis I've heard about. I confess, during those five days I did not do a detox bath, but I did continue on my meds, supplements, and anti-inflammatory diet. Today, I did two things. I went to the chiropractor and got adjusted, and I took a nice long detox bath as soon as I got home. It's like a miracle. My shoulder joint is 75% better; I barely feel any pain at all and my range of motion is better. Last night the pain was so bad it kept waking me up.

So now I'm wondering, is it most likely the bath or the adjustment that made the difference? Specifically, I am wondering if the magnesium or some other mineral in the epsom salt/hydrogen peroxide/ginger mix could have made that dramatic a difference because if so, maybe I am seriously deficient in something that I need.

Thanks, Mamyou. I think you are right. After a little more consideration, I realized that I had an adjustment late last week when I had the shoulder pain, with minimal improvement. That wasn't the total answer. So, I'm now convinced that the detox bath made the difference. I'm going to add more magnesium to the supplements I take and see if that helps. It's good to know that taking a detox bath after the adjustment is a good combination.
