Hi everyone, having some brain fog and not finding any answers online.

Why can't you eat immediately before, during or immediately after a detox foot bath?

Does baking soda alone detox? How?

I never heard of that, not being able to eat around a foot soak. Did you read that on here?

You can eat before and after a foot bath.


Are you confusing the binders with the baths?


I have read people do baking soda detoxes...but here on the forum the Epsom salt baths are what we talk mostly about. In addition to detoxing, you also absorb some of the magnesium which we need.

julymorning - No, I can't remember where I read it. I think WellnessMama.

Girlie, I wanted to soak my achy feet and didn't want to do Epsom - I already had a magnesium dose with my IV Meyer's Cocktail today and didn't want to overdo it. Thought baking soda would be mellow. I had a couple of tiny teaspooons of almond butter while soaking and about 10 minutes after, had a herx/reaction with dizziness and elevated blood pressure. Usually almond butter is OK.

Didn't realize just a foot bath could do that. confused

Kristen - sometimes detoxing can make us feel worse...rather than better.

If we release too many toxins into the bloodstream at once...

I don't know if that is the case in this instance....
