3 Immunity Boosting Detox Bath Recipes for Kids
Detoxifying baths are a great way to remove toxins from the body. There are toxins all around us, our bodies can get overloaded. With diseases and chronic illnesses becoming more common, detox baths can be a great aid in removing toxins.
If your child becomes sick, taking a detoxifying bath can help clear the sickness up quicker. An Epsom salt bath (see below) can also help sore muscles, which can happen sometimes when sick. Detox baths also help us sweat a little bit helping remove toxins.
But you don’t have to wait to detox until your child is sick. Taking a weekly detox bath can help boost your child’s immunity by removing the toxins before they pile up. I like to take detox baths regularly and my kids deserve the same!
Toxin Tip:
Depending on the water in your area, your water could also have toxins. If you can get a water filter for the bath and shower, I would highly suggest it. The one I have for our showers is the Berkey Shower Filter and I just use the shower head to fill up the bath. They also have filters for the bath spout that you can buy.
There are different types of detox baths that can help with different things, be sure to consult with your child’s doctor before trying anything new. I’m going to share with you my top 3 Detox Bath Recipes for Kids.
1. Epsom Salt Detox Bath with Lavender Recipe For Kids
Epsom salt baths help with detoxing, muscle aches and pains, sleep and more.
Here is what you need
- 1/2 cup Lavender Epsom Salt (if your child weighs more than 60 lbs use 1 cup)
- 2 Tablespoons baking soda (this helps clean the water and also detoxifies)
If you have regular Epsom salt, you can add a few drops of lavender oil or just leave it out. The lavender helps with relaxation and sleep. We really love Epsoak Kids Lavender Soak and Sleep Epsom Salt. 
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. A lot of people are deficient in magnesium and don’t even know. We use magnesium for many things like detox baths, anxiety, constipation, sleep troubles and more. Learn How We Use Magnesium Oil For Sleep.
Epsom Salt Detox Bath Instructions
Fill the bathtub with warm water. Put the Epsom salt and baking soda into the bath. Mix it around with your hand until it dissolves.
Let your child take a bath for 15-20 minutes. Toxins will be released and your child will also absorb magnesium.
Be sure to rinse off after the bath to prevent itching afterwards.
After the bath your child might be a little tired and relaxed. Have them drink some water to stay hydrated.

- The warmer the water, the better to help detox to the fullest.
- Make sure your child drinks extra fluids on detox bath day.
