Eating alkaline
Recipes. Mainly alkaline.
Forty recipes to go with your bathing practice: breakfasts, main dishes, juices and salads. 36 of them are purely alkaline; 4 use a small share of good acid-forming foods such as millet, quinoa or buckwheat — that’s the 80/20 rule of thumb on the plate. No meat, dairy, sugar or white flour.
Juices, soups, salads — this is how we eat around a bathing day.

From the plate to the water
Food is one half. The bath is the other.
Alkaline cooking goes hand in hand with the long bath — light before the bathing day, warm and filling afterwards. How the bath itself works is explained on the basics page; the complete protocol for home is in the Homebathing course.
How alkaline bathing works
pH, temperature, time — the three levers, the phases in the water and the limits, explained on one page.
