First detox bath... now what?

I took my first detox bath tonight and I wanted to know if I did this right because I do not feel any different after having been done with the bath one hour ago. I'm worried that I should have had some type of reaction (hoping for a negative one) and because I didn't get this I hope that doesn't mean I don't have Lyme.

Here's what I did. First I dry brushed for 30 minutes (took a while to learn step by step) following exactly the detailed steps listed from 1 through 37 which I got from a detox thread on this forum:

Then I took a 3 minute warm shower with soap because I didn't want to sit in a tub of my dead skin cells.

I filled up the bath with 100 degree water because 98 was slightly too cold for me. about 1/3 of the way I started adding epsom salts then added more at 1/2 and finally all salts at 3/4 of water for a total of 2 cups. Once the tub was filled with water, I added a 16 oz bottle of hydrogen peroxide (3%). I relaxed for about 15 minutes. I showered after the 15 minutes was up with soap.

Right now the only thing I feel is fresher feeling skin all over. That's about it. Did I do the bath right?

Thanks Denise. Ginger root will be my next step. What about the fresh ginger strips that are used for sushi?

Oddly I was hoping I would be near death after this bath. Now that I know I'm okay at 15 minutes, I can bump up my time to 20. I really didn't feel the hydrogen peroxide on the skin as others have posted about but I guess that's because I didn't use ginger yet.

It was my first time learning how to brush so it took me that long. Once I get the hang of it I can easily get it down to 10 minutes. I'm not sure how true this is but if brushing is done incorrectly it can put pressure on the valves of the lymph and cause ruptured vessels. Also, it's not as simple as brushing towards your heart as the only instruction. A few places require circular motions and others require a back and forth. Check out the link in my first post! Is this how you dry brush?

I definitely will continue the baths.

I guess everyone is different... It takes me about 15 minutes to dry skin brush my body.  I start at the bottoms of my feet, then do the tops of my feet then work upward always using circular motions.

From Dr. J's book:  Take a look at your eyes and if you see a darker ring around the very most outer edge of the iris (colored part of the eyes) then you have a Scurf Ring.  Seeing a scurf ring always indicates that your skin is not eliminating toxins well and it is being reflected on the iris of the eye.

It is NOT a disease of the eye but simply a reflex sign of an overload of toxins at the level of the skin.  You can observe your eye and watch it improve as you progress with the detox protocol.

Cppoly, your instructions for dry skin brushing are perfect and below is another link if you are interested:

Happy brushing!

Hey Opugirl, is buttload really a word?   LOLOL!!!     Golly, the things I learn on this site!

Hey there ccpoly! I usually use around 4 or 5 cups of salt and one bottle of hydrogen peroxide. I don't take the temperature, but I can tell you that mine is usually pretty warm. It takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to feel my body get to the "induced fever" stage. This is where your body temperature increases to the point of sweating. I can really only do that for another 10 minutes or so before I have to get out. I will only herx if I'm currently herxing pretty bad. I dry brush and take a bath every day. It becomes like a chore after a while, but it's really important! Keep up the good work!!
