Wouldn’t it be great if we were all given a manual on self-care rituals that nurture the heart?
My manual would definitely include this one: the Clearing Bath to help let go of energies that no longer serve us or that we picked up from someone else. I don’t know about you, but sometimes a family member’s anger or distress will be hard to shake off without doing some active releasing.
I decided to try a recipe that Peaceful Daily recommended to reset, revive, replenish, and renew the spirit (or aura). Of course, plain Epsom salts work just fine in a pinch too.
Here is the recipe called “Clearing Bath for Mind Regeneration” (sounds awesome, right?):
- Add 1 lb. of baking soda (Don’t panic! That’s just one small box)
- 1/2 lb. sea salt (grounds and transmutes negative energy)
- 5 cups of apple cider vinegar (I didn’t have that much, so I used 2 cups)
- 40 minutes—or longer!—in hot water
It felt WONDERFUL to take time for myself with the intention of clearing my energy field. But it was more than that. I’ve taken baths before. This morning my husband and kids actually noticed that there was something different about me. They couldn’t quite put their finger on it, but it was visible to them. Maybe lifted and lighter?
I’d say this practice is worth repeating! Let me know if you try it and feel a difference too. I’m also hooked on milk baths!

I’m ready to take the “plunge” . . . just have to buy the Costco sized bottle of Apple Cider vinegar . . . not sure if I want to put BRAGG’s into a BATHTUB as opposed to a salad!
You have my full agreement on using a less expensive ACV in a bath! Though last night, I did not have that option. Costco, here I come for more baking soda and ACV! Do they have sea salt too? That would be a real SCORE!
If you can I recommend using the best quality ingredients in your bath too ! 80% get absorbed into our bodies through the skin – we are worth it !
Bragg’s Apple Cider vinegar is known for its superior quality and the “mother” is present in every bottle.
So true, Elaine. Thanks for making that important point.
My pleasure – thank you Sarita for yet another superb blog post that educates us about clearing baths.
I have been taking them for over 20 years.
I LOOOOOVE a hot, salty bath with baking soda, but I never thought to add ACV to it. This is going on my Sunday spa day list — how simple and luxe is this?!
So simple and makes me feel like a new person: refreshed, relaxed, and cleansed. More and more I’ve been reaching into my kitchen cabinet for great beauty finds. The marvels that are in there! PLEASE try the Raw Avocado mask listed in that post. It’s awesome! Thanks so much for commenting!! Xo
