Detox baths represent the perfect method for getting rid of all the bad stuff that likes to house itself in your body, namely toxins, which are poisonous substances (usually proteins) that you ingest as a result of what you eat and the environmental factors you're exposed to. While you might have heard of some of these detox bath recipes in the past, there are some in this list that I'm sure you haven't heard of before: 
 
 
1. Essential Oils
This detox bath is as simple as adding a few drops of essential oils to your bath water. You can even select the essential oils you're going to add in accordance with a current problem you're facing. For instance, you can feel totally fatigued after a long day at work, and choose peppermint essential oil to add to your bath to give you vitality and energy. Seeing as all essential oils are geared towards remedying some physiological problem or other, you can customize your detox bath accordingly. 
2. Hydrogen Peroxide

To reap the full benefit of this detox bath, make sure you soak in the tub for at least half an hour, and also remember to take the time to calm and quieten your mind.
