​
Baths are very therapeutic and health-promoting. They help pull toxins out of your body and send nutrients like magnesium (which most people are deficient in), herbs or essential oils into your pores. This is great for boosting the immune system, calming frazzled nerves and healing through aromatherapy. Make sure you have a shower filter to take the chlorine out of your water or you’ll be sending *that* straight to your organs. You can find good filters and water softeners here: http://watersoftenerguide.com
