Toxin-drawing bath

A detox bath is a soak in water mixed with salts, essential oils, or other substances claimed to draw toxins from the body.

Epsom salt and baking soda are common additions.

The practice belongs more to wellness culture than medicine—while the baths may feel relaxing, evidence for actual detoxification is thin: I took a detox bath after the long flight.
