Another healthy way to bathe that will help your skin resist foreign agents is the Apple cider vinegar bath!
Apple cider vinegar baths restore a natural pH to the skin and hair, as well as rejuvenate and
build up the body’s resistance. They help restore acid mantle protection to the skin, which is lost
from swimming and bathing in chlorinated water and from routine use of soaps on the skin.
These baths thus help combat "unfriendly"
bacteria, fungal overgrowth, and are helpful with vaginal and bladder infections.
An apple cider
vinegar bath is soothing to the skin, alleviating itchiness, poison ivy, and sunburn discomfort. As
with all hot baths, it causes the pores to open and aids in general systemic detoxification.
Make certain to use pure, unprocessed apply cider vinegar. Commercial vinegars have lost much
of the mineral content and make for a weak electrolyte solution.
Apple cider vinegar contains
potassium, phosphorus, natural sodium, magnesium, natural fluoride, iron, silicon, sulfur, and
other trace minerals, which are nourishing to the skin.
