sauna detox and detox tips in general

Hi Teeners! My daughter's dr says to do the baths and sauna every other day. You can get an inexpensive portable sauna online. We were going to buy a large one that was thousands of dollars, but read so many reviews for the portable that we went ahead and bought one. We spent about 400 dollars for ours, but you can get one for about 200 I think. Just another option to consider if you are thinking about joining a club. . .

for some reason my doctor said not to bother unless i bought one of the nicer ones? hmmmm not sure why she would of said that. and treehousemom- by every other day do you mean to switch days between saunaing and detoxing? or choose one and then take a day off, etc?
thanks!

I usually try to make sure I do at least one detox "thing" every day, besides skin brushing which I do everyday (except for the days when it hurts too much!). Besides the baths, sauna, and exercising, I like to drink different kinds of teas that promote detoxing - this is my favorite way to detox as it actually tastes good (usually!).

That is a good idea about using a jug though - I may just have to borrow that idea! I think it might be a good idea to start a new thread about detoxing methods (that way more people are likely to see it).

Hi teeners,

This is the sauna I use which I bought from Amazon and I don't know how many years I have been using it and it still works great!  I really sweat and feel so good afterward!  I always put music on while I'm sitting in the sauna..  This sauna gets hot and has a remote control to set the temperature and a timer..  I'm a tall girl so if I had to do it over again, I would buy the XL one..  Maybe in the near future I will...

Anyway, I try to take a detox bath about 5 times a week but that's me..  I use my sauna about 3 to 4 times a week...  And of course I do the coffee enema's to get rid of toxins as well...  I understand that many people have a hard time doing those...

There is no set rule about how many detox baths to take, it's what you can handle without having any negative side effects (same with the sauna)..  I knew this guy who took 3 detox baths every day... So everyone is different..  You have to do what makes you feel comfortable...

Sounds to me like you have a good detox plan!

Hi Teeners, I have been trying to come up with a good detox regimen, too. I just joined a gym again, in order to use the sauna. I don't know if it's a FIR sauna, and it is cedar (which I've heard is a no-no), but it does the job, I believe. I had a portable FIR sauna that I bought on ebay in 2008 for about $300, and honestly, the smell of the plastic was too much for me. I am very sensitive to scent, so it may not be a big deal for most people. Those things do make you sweat like crazy, which is good.

I was dry skin brushing, but I stopped after my Naturopath said I was probably doing more harm than good, since my lymph nodes hurt so bad afterward. I may reintroduce that, and just do it a bit softer to see if the symptoms lessen.

I don't do the full detox baths, but I love doing the mustard powder and cayenne pepper foot baths, as well as just the epsom salt and hydrogen peroxide foot baths. I don't know how many times per week is the ideal, but I like to do one every other day.

I've never heard of a Detox Tea before. Can anyone tell me which ones are best? Sounds like a tasty way to detox.
