It's easy and inexpensive to make a big batch of relaxing bath salts, scoop into jar, tie on a pretty ribbon, and give to someone who could use a thoughtful gift..
This recipe is based on one I have used in Stephanie Tourles' book, Organic Body Care Recipes .
You will need:
2 cups baking soda
2 cups sea salt
15 drops lavender essential oil
15 drops chamomile essential oil
What to do:
Mix all ingredients together and pour into glass jar.
Please be careful not to let undiluted essential oils come into contact with skin, they can burn.
How to use:
Scoop 1/2 to one cup of mixture into bath tub while water is running. Soak for 20 minutes.
This recipe can easily be adjusted to make different amounts. Double or triple and fill a few jars, or cut in half (or even quarter) for a smaller jar. Also, feel free to experiment with different oils, use all lavender or all chamomile, or add another oil of your choice.
