I took my Son in to have his Vaccinations. 14826419_1799940676952542_2007869309_n

Gosh it’s hard being a parent at times, so so rewarding and I love being a mum but times like today it’s hard! I was more nervous as I knew what was ahead, so I applied my Anxiety Blend of Essential oils to my pulse points, so I felt Calm and Relaxed before heading into our new Dr clinic. I can honestly say that this was by far the best vaccination experience I’ve had so far!! One Nurse blew bubbles to keep my son distracted while the other nurse vaccinated him and it worked a treat as he didn’t even cry. One huge concern I do have is all the harmful chemicals and heavy metals after being Vaccinated. I usually give my son and myself regular detox baths and especially after vaccination, as it helps to eliminate the toxins and harsh chemicals slowly and safely from the body.

I have written out the DETOX Bath Recipe Below, you will probably find that you already have most of the ingredients in your home already. I’ll also be applying a Immunity Boosting Essential oil blend I make in a roll~on bottle and apply it to the soles of his feet and also have a fever roll~blend essential oil blend just incase he starts showing signs of a Fever over night from the Vaccinations.

It’s an empowering feeling to know that there is natural alternatives to help your precious little ones!

Why Give A Detox Bath

Detox baths not only help rid the body of chemicals and heavy metals, but they also provide rich minerals like magnesium and sulphates that help to:
* Reduce inflammation
* Regulate enzyme activity
* Increase immune function
* Improve absorption of nutrients
* Relax the nervous system and muscles
* Promote a good night’s sleep

Detox Bath Recipe

Everyday Detox Bath for Kids 1/4 cup of baking Soda

OR 1 teaspoon Vitamin C powder

1/2 cup of Epsom salts

or Magnesium flakes (flakes are more easily absorbed by the skin)

1 tablespoon Coconut oil or olive oil

Everyday Detox Essential Oil: 2 drops dōTERRA Lavender Essential oil

How to Give a Detox Bath

First you want to draw a hot bath (not too hot, you don’t want to burn your precious children but hot enough to sweat). Make the bath as deep as possible (use common sense safety precautions with kids), you want as much of the body in the water as possible for maximum effectiveness.

If your water isn’t filtered you need to neutralise the chemicals (like Chlorine) in your water or the detox bath will not work and your children will absorb toxic chlorine instead of eliminating toxins! You can neutralise your water 2 ways: Add 1 teaspoon vitamin C powder OR ¼ cup baking soda

1. Add your de-chlorinator of choice to the bath water and let it sit for 2-5 minutes to neutralise the chlorine.
2. Mix the epsom salts, coconut or olive oil and Lavender essential oil in a small bowl or cup. After the bath is neutralised, add the salts/oils to the bath.
3. Add bentonite clay if using. Bentonite clay binds to chemicals, including heavy metals, and removes them. To add the clay to your bath, mix it together with water first in a cup to get the clumps out (however you are not supposed to let the clay touch metal so use a wooden or plastic spoon to stir) and then add to bath.
4. Have your kids get in the bath and let them soak for 20 minutes.
5. Do not use soaps or personal care products in a detox bath. During a detox bath your children’s pores are wide open and they will absorb all the chemicals from personal care products if you use them! Skip the soap during a detox bath and just soak and relax!
6. Detox baths can be done once a week on a regular basis. During times of illness you might increase the frequency to stimulate immune function.
7. Make sure your kids stay hydrated with filtered water before and after a detox bath.
