TCM Detox Treatment

Footbath: Beside the use of the Alkali Salt in a body bath you can also use it in an alkaline foot bath. Our soles are rightly often referred to as the third kidney, as they have very many sweat glands. The effect of the alkaline foot bath can be assisted by rubbing off the feet and lower legs every 15 minutes with a peeling glove or a washcloth or brushing them off with a brush. For an alkaline foot bath, dissolve 1 scoop of the Susanne Kaufmann Alkali Salt in a foot bath and bathe for at least 30 minutes.

TCM Detox Feel Good Tip

Digital detox. Take a break from bad news and negative influences. Avoid TV news people in your life that drag. Instead, write a list with all the things you are grateful for right now in life.
Meditation Exercise – Conscious Walking
The time you walk can be used to focus and calm your thoughts. Walking is such an automated movement that we barely notice it. Walking meditation however highlights this. It's about focusing on walking while shopping, getting on the subway or while climbing stairs. See how your feet are touching the floor, which muscles engaging and disengaging. Watch the tempo: Are you moving slower or faster?
In this way, you consciously maneuver yourself into the here and now and give your worries a break - this is relaxing for mind and body.
