Detox Your Yoga Mat

yoga Apr 07, 2017

 

 

YOGA MATS

Yoga mats can be made of plastic, like vinyl (one of the most toxic materials for our planet and our health). A healthier material for yoga mats is 100% natural rubber.

 

CLEANSING YOUR YOGA MAT

To cleanse your yoga mat, you can use essential oils in the doTERRA recipe below. But please conduct a test patch first because not all yoga mats are the same and the recipe below may damage some mats.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup distilled water
1/4 cup alcohol-free witch hazel or white vinegar
5 drops Lavender essential oil (soothing effect on your mood)
3 drops Melaleuca (tea tree) essential oil (antibacterial and antifungal effects)
Amber- or blue- colored glass spray bottle (protects the essential oils from sunlight)

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in glass spray bottle.
Shake until combined.
To use, spray on mat and wipe dry with towel.
