While it is impossible to entirely stop our exposure to all toxins, we can reduce unnecessary exposure, as well as improve our body's efficiency and ability to eliminate them.  Taking a detox bath, not only boosts our health and well-being, but it also strengthens our immune system and prevents disease.  Keep in mind, the lungs are an important organ of detoxification. Each time we exhale, we eliminate toxins from our body. Two great ways to promote detoxification of this system is deep breathing, which is nice to practice while you take your bath.
