Finding
time in your busy schedule to care for yourself can be tricky, but when you do,
taking a salt bath can be a wonderfully relaxing and healthy option.
Epsom salts
are rich in magnesium, baking soda is alkalizing, and the aromas of the
combined essential oils calm the body and spirit.
Ingredients
:
2 cups
Epsom Salts
½ cup
Baking Soda
¼ cup Sea
Salt or Himalayan Salt (optional)
20 drops of
a floral Essential Oil (Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Rose, Ylang
Ylang)
6 drops of
a citrus Essential Oil (Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lemon, Sweet
Orange)
6 drops of
a grounding Essential Oil (Frankincense, Myrrh, Sandalwood,
Vetiver)
Preparation
:
Combine all
the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Store in an air-tight jar. Shake before
using and sprinkle ¼ cup of the mixture into the bath as the water is running.
