acidosis
Causes of acidosis
What leads to acidosis?
Chronic hyperacidity (latent acidosis) - i.e. too much acid in the body - is largely overcome
- persistent stress
- unbalanced diet and
- insufficient intake of alkaline-forming minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium
caused. This creates unhealthy acids in the blood.
The intake of the following products in large amounts can lead to too much acid:
- meat and sausage products
- eggs
- desserts
- Fish
- wheat flour products
- dairy products
- soy products
- carbonated mineral water
- alcoholic and non-alcoholic soft drinks
- Coffee
- Alcohol
- Nicotine
- Preservatives, colourings, flavorings, sweeteners
In addition, can
- extreme sport
- Stress
- Anxiety
- rage
- trouble
- and depression in general
cause the body to become acidic.
Acid base household explained
Acid base household - reasons and consequences
Acid Bases Household and your health
While some areas of the body need to be acidic (e.g. vagina, intestines), there are mostly areas that need to be alkaline to function properly. The acid-base balance, i.e. the healthy pH value in the body, is kept in balance by sophisticated body functions such as breathing and digestion. A pH below 7 is called an acid, and above 7 is called a base.
Above a certain amount of acid, the body can no longer break down the waste products and stores them in the connective tissue, the joints and the blood vessels. This leads to symptoms of varying severity, such as dryness, impurities or weakening of the connective tissue, which results in cellulite, spider veins and varicose veins. In general, it can be said that hyperacidity always leads to discomfort. Fatigue, migraines and even rheumatism can also be due to the fact that the body is not in balance. Many people do not even suspect that their symptoms are due to an overly acidic body. After all, you can't feel a body that's too acidic.
The skin suffers the most from hyperacidity, as it is usually involved in the elimination of toxins from the body. In industrialized nations, the majority of adults suffer from acidosis. Of course, taking medication in connection with high levels of stress contributes even more to the development. Many widespread diseases such as high blood pressure could be avoided from the outset if one would take care of the deacidification of the body.
In order to protect our skin from the ingress of harmful influences, our largest organ has a protective acid mantle. This natural acid-base balance is normally kept in balance by our body itself. But with the risk factors mentioned above, he can no longer control the regulation himself. The body becomes acidic.
The acid-forming minerals are primarily responsible for the metabolism of acids. Sulfur (e.g. in large quantities in grain products) turns into sulfuric acid in the body, iodine (e.g. in our part of the world, especially in salt containing iodine) into hydrochloric acid and phosphorus (e.g. in wheat bran and soybeans) into phosphoric acid. Base-forming minerals include sodium (e.g. in salami and salted herring), calcium, magnesium and iron.
The body needs both the acid-forming minerals and the base-forming ones. For example, the acidic phosphorus and alkaline calcium work together to strengthen teeth and bones. The right ratio of acids and bases in the body is important.
Since our organism cannot store acids, it has to neutralize them with basic minerals. Neutralized acids become salts. These salts are now very well stored in the body and can damage the lungs, kidneys, intestines and skin. One example is uric acid, which is produced when meat products are metabolized. During neutralization, urinary stone crystals form, which can lead to arthrosis and gout. White crystals form from sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid (sulphur and phosphorus are found in large quantities in cereals), which can develop into kidney stones in the kidneys.
In an overly acidic environment, fungi can spread unhindered. An overly acidic body can be particularly responsible for skin fungal infections or vaginal thrush. The Candida fungus often occurs when the body is overly acidic. Too acidic an environment in the body weakens the entire immune system.

The effects of an alkaline bath
The alkaline bath is a tried and tested method of deacidifying your body and bringing it back into balance. The high-quality gemstone minerals have a basic pH value that helps the body eliminate toxic acids and waste products. It can relieve physical and psychological symptoms. Skeptics can get a test strip from the pharmacy and measure the pH value themselves. This will be significantly lower after the bath because the acids from the skin have been bound in it.
Always, but especially during an alkaline bath treatment, ensure a calmer lifestyle, avoid stressful situations as much as possible, eat alkaline and avoid alcohol and nicotine. Base bath how often? Users who manage to make permanent lifestyle changes and take an alkaline bath at least once a week report realizing how much acidification in their bodies has impacted their physical and mental health. The bath also delivers the best results when it comes to improving the complexion of the skin, combating tiredness or relieving headaches. Lose weight with an alkaline bath: You can go on a diet or fasting cure together with the alkaline bath. This synchronous therapy enhances the positive effect on the body.
Our skin is a highly permeable organ, which means that fluids are exchanged. It is our largest excretory organ. When acids and bases meet, a chemical reaction occurs. In science, this process is commonly called osmosis. When bathing with our proven additive, alkaline bath water with a pH value of at least 8,5 meets acidic skin with a pH value of around 5,5. A suction effect is created by a chemical attempt to balance, osmosis, in which hands and feet show the well-known wrinkled areas. Dead horn cells behave like salts. After a while, the horny cells absorb bath water and the skin shrivels up. Now the water can penetrate into the body. Alkaline bathing draws acids and slag out of the pores. After the alkaline bath, you can see dirt deposits on the edge of the bathtub or on the floor. Buy base powder here! The wrinkled skin disappears after a maximum of an hour.

deacidification tips
what else can I do?
Deacidification – what else can I do
In addition to the base bath with base powder, you can counteract hyperacidity as follows:
Drink plenty of water or herbal tea.
Move moderately. Top-class sport is superfluous. Do pleasure sports. This can be a walk through the forest as well as a walk in the park.
Avoid stress as much as possible.
Support acid excretion through regular visits to the sauna.
Basic nutrition
The recommendations for an alkaline diet largely correspond to those of a healthy, varied mixed diet. Eat enough fresh and unprocessed fruits and vegetables. Consume cereals, dairy products, meat and fish only in small amounts. Drink enough water or herbal tea. Ideal alkaline drinks are alkaline teas, water and z. B. Whey. Whey also contains minerals and proteins.
The following basic foods support deacidification:
Vegetables and fruits, herbs, mushrooms, sprouts, some nuts.
Montisal – the special base powder
What is so special about the Montisal base powder?
Bathing in gems
Many deacidification cures only deacidify the gastrointestinal tract. Our Montisal alkaline bath deacidifies the entire tissue and cells.
Montisal contains gemstone powder and zeolite.
Composition of the Montisal base powder:
Sodium carbonate, sodium chloride, whey, Monti-Zilit = mixture of different natural clinoptilolite zeolites with 92 minerals and trace elements, four precious stone mineral powders - quality 1A (azurite malachite, carnelian, peridot, turquoise)
The ingredients of the Montisal alkaline bath explained in more detail:
Sodium carbonate is pure soda. It is a salt of carbonic acid. It occurs in soda lakes in Egypt and Turkey, among others.
Sodium chloride is common table salt. It is present in nature in large quantities. The largest deposits are found in sea water. It is the most important mineral for humans and animals.
Whey is the residual liquid that occurs during cheese production. It consists mostly of water. It also contains lactose, lactic acid and vitamins. (Caution in case of lactose intolerance.)
The volcanic rock zeolite is used, among other things, to decontaminate water because it absorbs cesium and strontium.
Monti-Zilit (zeolite powder, silicic acid, silicon powder) is a mineral-rich mixture of various natural clinoptilolite zeolites. It is used in the detoxification of pollutants, including radioactive radiation. Monti-Zilit makes the skin softer, smoother and firmer. It has an antiviral, antimicrobial effect, activates the immune system and binds fungi. It also promotes intestinal activity and helps to regenerate the liver and kidneys. The Hunza tribe, known for their longevity, drink a naturally occurring glacial water containing zeolite. Zeolite strengthens the brain and psyche.

Alkaline bath instructions / application
This is how an alkaline bath is made
This turns the base powder into a base bath
Make a base bath yourself. You can carry out this deeply relaxing therapy in the comfort of your own home.
Plan enough time for your bathroom.
Visit the toilet before you take a bath. The urge to urinate during the bath can block relaxation. Base bath how often? In order to optimally deacidify the body, you should use the alkaline bath two to three times a week during a cure. In this way you promote the optimal removal of toxins. However, start small. It is enough to start with a weekly bath to observe the effect on your skin.
After two baths, you can increase the number of baths to a maximum of 3 applications. After the treatment, bathing in the solution once a week is enough.
Take a cup of tea or a glass of water with you and place it near the bathtub. A base bath makes you thirsty.
Do not put essential oils in the bath. Instead, place a fragrance lamp in the bathroom. You should also refrain from adding any foam or oil baths. A certain bathing time of at least 30-45 minutes must be observed.
Do not shower off after the relaxing and regenerating bath. Let the active ingredients continue to soak into the fabric - the best thing is to simply let it dry. You can also gently pat yourself dry with a towel.
After the bath, take at least half an hour, preferably an hour, to allow the skin to regenerate. Do not apply body cream to your body immediately after bathing. This increases the effect of the active ingredient.
Applying cream immediately would block the absorption of the active ingredient because the pores would become clogged. Also avoid makeup and other make-up products for about 1 hour. Massage in an organic body oil (e.g. coconut or jojoba oil) after an hour.
Since the term "alkaline bath salts" is not protected by patents, we recommend checking the bath water to which alkaline powder has been added using a pH test strip from the pharmacy. The pH value should be around 8 in the warm bath water in which the bath additive has been completely dissolved.
Take at least 30-45 minutes for your bath to make the best use of the healing effect of osmosis. You can meditate, read a book or magazine during this time. If your head gets too heavy, use a towel to support your neck. Of course, it can also make sense to buy a bath pillow.
If you don't have a bathtub, you can achieve the same effect with basic wraps (soaked hand or bath towels). If you have serious problems, such as high blood pressure or heart problems, please consult your doctor before taking an alkaline bath cure.
Please do not overdo it with the applications at the beginning of the cure. Do not bathe more than 3 times a week or for more than 45 minutes per bath.
A gray rim or deposit of dirt forms on the edge of the bathtub during bathing. This increases with the duration of the bath. This is completely normal and is an indicator of body toxins being eliminated. Test the pH of the water before and after bathing and be amazed by the result!
If you don't have a bathtub, you can also take a foot bath. In the well-tempered bath, unhealthy acids are drawn out of the body through the process of osmosis. Slags are deposited in storage locations such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and forearms. In order to be able to use the osmosis principle, you first need a high-quality bath additive, the Montisal base powder, and secondly about two hours of time.
Dosage
How do I dose the alkaline bath correctly?
Alkaline bath – the right dosage
For a therapeutic full bath, add 3 heaped scoops to the warm water. For a foot or arm bath you only need a heaped measuring spoon.
For poultices, add 2 level scoop to XNUMX dl of water.
For hair conditioners, a pinch in 1-2 dl of water is sufficient.
Note: Depending on the size of the tub and the degree of hardness of the water, it may be necessary to increase the dosage in order to achieve optimal pH values.
Alkaline bath Frequency, bathing time, temperature
Alkaline bath how often, how long, what temperature?
Alkaline bath - this is how you do it right
The ideal temperature of the bath water is 37 degrees. Too hot a bath temperature stresses the body and puts a strain on the cardiovascular system. Acid excretion through the skin due to osmosis only begins after 30 minutes at the earliest.
A bath time of 30-45 minutes is recommended. Base bath how often? You can use a mineral base bath during a deacidification cure up to three times a week (for two to four weeks). After that, a weekly base bath is sufficient.
Summary - You should pay attention to these points when using a base bath with base powder:
- Temperature 37°C
- Bath time 30-45 minutes
- wait for osmosis to set in
- during a cure up to three times a week
- then regularly once a week
- don't shower off
- do not dry off
- leave on for an hour
- after about an hour the wrinkled skin is smooth again
- apply cream to your body after at least an hour
Mineral base bath Areas of application
When can an alkaline bath help me?
Effects of an alkaline bath
With a permanently acidic lifestyle, the storage locations increase in volume.
A base bath is used as a purification, detoxification or nowadays also as a detox bath.
The alkaline bath is an insider tip among beauty-conscious people.
They swear by it to promote blood circulation in the skin and thereby eliminate blemishes and ensure a rosy complexion. It also strengthens the connective tissue and prevents cellulite (orange peel skin).
More and more reports are appearing on the Internet from men who have gotten their hair loss and sweat smell under control with a regular mineral base bath.
Others simply want to do something good for themselves in everyday life and love to take a bath to relax.
You can also use the mineral base bath to lose weight.
Base bath areas of application
Some examples of an alkaline bath
Alkaline bath - some possible applications
Alkaline baths during pregnancy
The woman's period ensures the natural detoxification of the female body. If you don't, the body can quickly become acidic. During pregnancy, alkaline baths are very well suited to counteract hyperacidity. This is how you optimally care for the skin during the time of great stress during pregnancy. An alkaline bath can also help prevent stretch marks.
Alkaline baths for babies and toddlers
In the mother's womb, the not yet fully developed child lies in the alkaline environment of the amniotic fluid with a pH value of around 8. This protects the fetus from fungi, lichen and other pathogens. This is because these pathogens can only survive and spread in an acidic environment. The mild care of alkaline baths is therefore also suitable for babies and small children. Children with problem skin can experience relief with an alkaline bath.
Alkaline baths for menopausal women
The same as in pregnancy also applies to women in menopause. There is no detoxification through the period. Over-acidification can occur. Acidic body care products also contribute to clogging the pores and increasing the risk of hot flashes and sweating. A basic bath can help here.
Alkaline baths for men in andropause
Men tend to lose hair during andropause. An alkaline bath can help restore the correct balance of acid and base if you have an itchy scalp that is prone to dandruff.
Slimming base bath – mineral base bath and diet
A base bath is very suitable as a measure to accompany a diet. A base bath is particularly recommended when you are on a diet or fasting. Set aside two hours at least twice a week for this. It strengthens the connective tissue and brings the body into harmony. Continue to eat alkaline after your diet.
Base powder quality
Why Montisal alkaline bath?
The special quality of the Montisal alkaline bath - the precious stones
In addition to zeolite, the Montisal base powder also contains gemstone powder from four different gemstones:
The azurite malachite is used in healing stone therapy to support the liver. It is also said that when worn (e.g. on a chain), it strengthens the character, brings the mind and feelings into harmony and helps to overcome suffering. Use externally only.
Carnelian is a healing stone that the ancient Egyptians said had divine power. It is considered a stone of renewal. It strengthens the immune system and promotes blood circulation. It is said that men who wear carnelian on their bodies are particularly attractive to women. Carnelian helps to increase joie de vivre and is said to work against depression. It is used against insomnia.
The peridot helps with negative feelings. It is also effective against fungi, warts and eczema on the skin and can even improve the complexion of psoriasis. Hildegard von Bingen counted it (then called Topas) among her foundation stones. Peridot is a variety of olivine. It can reverse negative feelings such as selfishness, anger, envy and anger and alleviate depression. Peridot helps against eye ailments, supports the natural functions of the liver, bile, pancreas and thymus gland. The healing stone supports concentration, tolerance, letting go and new beginnings.
Turquoise confers protection from danger. It lets its wearer be successful in his actions, strengthens self-confidence, energy and assertiveness. It is also used to treat depression. This healing stone protects the wearer from environmental influences and promotes regeneration. In addition, it balances the mind and restores vitality to cope with one's own life.
