Bath Salts
Salt baths are excellent for sore and aching
muscles. They are easy to make and are
wonderful gift ideas when presented in a nice container or decorated mason jar!
3 Cups Epsom Salt
2 Cups sea salt or pickling salt
1 Cup Baking Soda
Splash of fragrance or essential oil (recipe calls for 1/2 oz. but I just used about 1/4 oz. Lavender essential oil)
Measure out the salts and mix them together well, making
sure to break up any clumps.
A few drops of food colouring can be added if you wish.
Use ¼ Cup per bath.
You have a sauna?! Sounds like a lovely spa day to me...
ReplyDeleteSounds heavenly...I think I'll try it for a simple foot bath a little later today.
ReplyDeleteI have never added baking sofa before. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteMagnesium deficiency has shown up as a causes for depression; a case of the blues may be gotten over with a few high concentration Epsom salt soaks. We here by the Great Salt Lake can testify that soaking in salty water that floats you makes for a natural euphoria!
It sounds lovely and relaxing! I think I'd really enjoy the lavender scent.
ReplyDeleteI love to soak in the sea - fresh water swimming is just not the same.
Now that sounds simple enough. I may have to take up bathing rather than showering!
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh, it's been eons since I've enjoyed a long bath...and one with bath salts sounds so relaxing and therapeutic! I need to slow down and treat myself. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great, but one question where do you get epsom salt? Haven't seen it anywhere.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect recipe for a cold rainy day...1.2.3. Here I come.
ReplyDeleteThe sauna and a hot bath sound like Heaven! Enjoy!
