Hello, this is Nicole, and I have been taking detox baths twice a week for a month and a half faithfully. I use 1 cup Epsom salt, 1 cup borax, 1 cup baking soda, 1/3 cup of bentonite clay, 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil, 1teaspoon of pine needle oil, a little bit of dandelion root in powder form, a little bit of apple cider vinegar. Like I was saying earlier, I was taking detox baths with these ingredients for a month in a half, and I think by the 4th week, I am starting to feel some symptoms. My urine is darker than usual. I was coughing up mucus and blood, my bones were aching, I felt fatigued, etc. Is this the normal part of detox? I know that during detox, you will feel worse before you feel better. Please help me

Why are you doing the detox baths?

You might use just 1/4 cup of the bentonite and 1/4 cup of the epsom salt for now. Make sure the bentonite is not the pool grade variety.

1 teaspoon of tea tree oil seems like way too much.

Coughing up blood and dark urine do not appear to be a typical detox reactions. You should probably consult a specialist immediately.

Best wishes.

There were a couple of people who use borax in their detox baths, and they said that their urine was darker. Somebody replied to them and said that it's a part of the detox reaction and it's taken toxins out of their body.

And also, I am doing detox baths so I can get rid of the COVID vaccine that I took. I was injured by the vaccine.

The water temperature was to be pretty warm and soak time was as long as possible or until the water cooled. I will post article when I can get it.

What I've learned is that everybody's detox symptoms are different. Just because one of them coughs up blood and mucus doesn't mean that something bad is going on. And you are telling me to go see the doctor. That's the LAST place that I want to go. I will not go to the doctor, but instead I am going to do natural remedies. Like I said earlier, everybody's cleansing process is different. You can't question other people's symptoms and tell them that it's not a typical detox reaction. You don't know that particular person. Obviously something needs to be taken out of my system, which is why I cough up blood and mucus and have dark urine. I'm sorry, but I question anybody who questions my symptoms and tells me to go to the doctor and depend on them giving me pharmaceuticals. I don't think that you are for natural healing, but depending on Big Pharma.

WARNING!

1 cup borax is way too much. That's 16 tablespoons, not the widely recommended 1-4 tablespoons. "Some is good more is better", is NOT intelligent. Use the recommended dosages from a reputable professional like a Naturopathic doctor, not your own guesses.

Borax causes kidney damage in excessive amounts and dark urine is a sign of kidney damage. If someone is coughing up blood, YES THEY SHOULD GO TO A DOCTOR. Go to a Naturopathic doctor if preferred. Or decline at home. You sound either extremely foolish or like a disinformation agent (again, extremely foolish).

Bad experiences like yours sometimes lead to wisdom...but sometimes death. I hope you feel better soon.

Detox is overrated, unless ones detox system is compromised. People with MTHFR polymorphism(s) for example can't detox properly; again, it depends on the particular genes that are altered and if it is two copies that are altered or just one. People with Hypovolema can't detox properly for liver to perform its functions, including detox, needs a sufficient blood volume and pressure. Elderly people, people with chronic diseases, etc. might have a compromised detox system. People working in hazardous industries (that include hospital' staff, especially nurses) might need help in regularly detoxifying their bodies. Otherwise a human body is so robust in performing its functions that additional help is not needed. It is like a river-you clog it with debris and garbage, but once you stop doing that it would clear itself of the junk.

I won't be mixing these 4 different ingredients. Use each one separately.
