Notes
Before you start scrubbing, start filling the bath with hot water. The heat and the ginger will make you sweat—which is pretty much the goal, right? Because sweating is how the body eliminates toxins. Plus, it also helps unclog your pores and relax the muscles.
You can drink ginger tea before bathing to enhance the detox effect.
