| If time permits, dry yourself off and rest in a warm bed for half an hour. |
| Aromatherapy. Prepare a massage oil (see page 63) with lavender and sandalwood oils, or any favorite essential oils. Lavender and sandalwood are gentle to the skin, pleasant smelling, deodorizing and calming. Apply this oil all over your body as often as desired. Wipe off the excess with a damp washcloth or towel. |
| For a pleasant detoxifying bath experience, place a mat or towel in your empty tub. Add a generous quantity of massage oil to a handful of finely ground salt and mix well. Massage this fragrant, slightly abrasive mixture into your feet, legs, knees, abdomen, hips, arms, shoulders, elbows and back. Fill the tub with warm water and additional salt, relax, then rinse off. Be sure to use a mat or towel to stand on; the oil you massage into your skin will make the tub slippery. |
| Castor oil packs. Use this therapy (see pages 3031) as often as desired to support the liver and other organs, gently stimulate intestinal activity, boost the immune system and help you relax. |
| Reflexology. Refer to a foot reflexology chart and massage the feet, pressing pressure points associated with the liver, intestines and other organs of digestion and elimination. Or, because all of these points are likely to feel sore and sensitive, simply massage the feet and focus on any point that feels tender. |
