Angel Soak for Cold and Flu

This all-natural, therapeutic bath soak helps to relieve symptoms such as

congestion, body aches, chills, sore throat, headaches, tension, stiffness,

and many other signs of common colds and flus. The spices and the heat

of the bath will make you sweat, in a good way! The sweating draws out

toxins, pollutants, and impurities from your body. The detoxification

process will continue after the bath, so be sure to drink lots of healthy

fluids and pure clean water. This bath will also help relieve dry, itchy skin.

This batch is large enough so you can have it on hand for the cold and flu

season!

road to recovery.

SKINCARE SECRETS

As with all body care products, avoid getting the Angel Soak in your

eyes. If this occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. When feeling under

the weather, drink warm herbal tea with ginger and lemon to further

open nasal passages, and get plenty of rest. This bath should not

take the place of qualified medical diagnosis or treatment, nor is it

meant to cure any disease or medical condition.
