BATH SALT RECIPE
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Dead Sea salt, regular sea salt or Epsom salt, or a blend of two or three of these salts.
- 8-15 drops of your selected essential oil or essential oil blend. Be sure and take heed in the safety data for the oil(s) you choose to use.
Directions:
Place the salt mixture into a bowl. Add 1 Tbs. carrier oil & 8-15 drops of your chosen essential oils. Mix very well with a fork. Add the mixture to a pretty jar or container that has a tight fitting lid. After a day, you may wish to mix well again to ensure that the oils have blended very well. Do not use the entire cup of salt in one bath. After you have drawn your bathwater, add about 1/4 cup (about 2 ounces) of the bath salt to your bath water.
Mix well to ensure that the salt has dispersed well in the tub and hop on in. It's best to add the bath salts just before getting in the tub instead of while the water is running so that the essential oils don't evaporate before you get into the tub. Using this bath salt blend is safer than adding pure EOs directly to the bath water and adds minerals and other beneficial properties of the salts.
