Detoxify Your Body In 30 Minutes With A Bath

February 25, 2010 by Jessica Dougherty 2 Comments

Health and Health Coverage posted a simple way to detoxify your body in 30 minutes. Simply pour one cup Epsom salts, 1/2 cup Baking Soda, and about 1/2 cup Powdered Ginger into a hot bath & soak for 15 to 20 minutes. After soaking, scrub the skin gently with a natural fiber like a cotton washcloth or a loofah sponge for 5 minutes. Do not remain in the tub for more than 30 minutes.

    Whoa there! 1/2 CUP POWDERED GINGER? Perhaps before this wonderful web-zine publishes any more Bath & Body self help ideas, the B&B editor(s) should do a brief investigation to make sure what’s being recommended isn’t bad, irritating or downright harmful. I make these comments as an experienced (10+ yrs) Soap Maker and B&B formulator and also as someone who spent 20 yrs in the Food Industry.

    Ginger is a spice, a very powerful spice and can easily become a “hot” spice. If you put a pinch of ginger powder on your tongue, you will feel a tingle. Multiply that by 1/2 cup and it’s a recipe for severe skin irritation. 1/2 cup powdered ginger can and most likely will severely irritate skin, especially skin that is soaking in warm water, a medium that makes the skin more permeable and susceptible to irritants. And do I even need to remind you of a woman’s “feminine” parts? That area will surely get irritated and cause a whole slew of unintended problems.

    I have bumped into the ginger bath recommendation many times before, and it was always listed as about “1/2 cup grated FRESH ginger (wrapped in cheesecloth or muslin, etc) or 1 teaspoon powdered ginger. NEVER 1/2 cup powdered ginger. Perhaps this is an accidental typo on the originating site’s posting and they didn’t proof or catch it, but it’s something that should have jumped right out as not quite right during the proofing before publishing here on Craft Gossip. Remember, as a social communication medium that communicates and transmits these hints, ideas and crafts, you also bear some responsibility to make sure they have little potential to cause problems. Content proofreading, a book of cosmetic ingredients and 10 minutes of Google can go very far in achieving just that.

    I looked all over the originating post’s site and so far could find no place to comment on this ginger bath idea. Actually, I could find no comments on anything on this blog. If I do find it, I will be sure to express my concerns to them. In the meantime, perhaps you could pass this along to them. Thank you.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
