Mustard Detox Scrub
A warming, circulation-boosting detox scrub that breaks up stagnation, supports lymphatic flow, and helps the body release what it has been holding. This traditional herbal and mineral blend combines heat, nourishment, exfoliation, and deep tissue support to open pathways and restore movement throughout the body.
Designed for tired muscles, stiff shoulders, cold or stagnant areas, sluggish lymph, and anyone needing a full-body reset through the skin.
Why It Works
Mustard Seed
Mustard awakens circulation and brings warmth to cold, stagnant tissue. Its natural glucosinolates increase surface heat and stimulate microcirculation, helping to clear congestion, move lymph, and support detoxification. In TCM terms, mustard disperses cold and moves Qi and Blood, making it ideal for areas that feel heavy or stuck.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil softens the skin and creates the perfect glide so you can work the scrub in without irritation. Its medium chain fatty acids help carry the botanicals into the superficial lymphatic layers while keeping the skin barrier nourished and intact.
Ghee
Ghee is a revered Ayurvedic detox medium. It carries herbs deeply into the tissues, reduces inflammation, and supports smooth lymphatic movement. Ghee also buffers the heat of mustard and ginger so the formula warms without overwhelming sensitive skin.
Diatomaceous Earth
Rich in silica, diatomaceous earth gently exfoliates dead skin and tightens connective tissue. Its adsorptive qualities help bind impurities on the surface, opening pathways for detoxification and leaving the skin polished and renewed.
Magnesium Sulfate
Topical magnesium relaxes tight muscles, reduces inflammation, and encourages healthy fluid movement through osmotic action. This helps ease tension, reduce puffiness, and support drainage while delivering calming magnesium directly to the tissue.
Alaean Salt
This mineral-rich Hawaiian salt replenishes electrolytes and assists in pulling toxins and metabolic waste from the skin. It stimulates microcirculation, gently exfoliates, and supports lymphatic movement while delivering beneficial trace minerals.
Ginger
Ginger enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and boosts lymphatic flow. It breaks up cold and damp stagnation in both TCM and Ayurvedic frameworks, making it ideal for easing stiffness and supporting deeper detox effects.
Coriander
Coriander balances the formula by supporting fluid movement and calming irritation. It helps reduce puffiness, supports digestive and lymphatic pathways, and adds a harmonizing effect to the warming herbs.
How to Use
Apply the scrub to damp or dry skin. Work it in to activate warmth and circulation. Cover the area with a moist cloth for up to 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Use as a full-body treatment, a targeted shoulder scrub, a belly scrub for sluggish digestion, or an energizing leg scrub for heavy or stagnant lymph.
