BATH SALTS

[Guest guest]

hi lena!

everyone, lena is new to our group. she lives in portugal. hopefully

the after the currency conversion it will still be worth it to her to

be a part of our buys.

i personally like the coarse salts for bath recipes over fine grind.

that is just me. i find they hold the oils better and are easier to

mix than the fine grind (and they look gret in the jar!)

my very favorite salt that i have personally used in the bath are the

dead sea salts, but now i want to try these celtic salts and hawaiian

salts (although this hawaiian salt is quite red and would be used as

a portion of the salt in my mixes). some folks add epsom salts to the

mixture of their bath salts too.

i'll be glad to post some recipes here. everyone else is more than

welcome to also, when you have a moment.

i'm trying to figure out where the best places to find good salt is,

and at a discount. if i can find the cheapest way to get it

shipped/ship it out we still may be able to get it cheaper if i get a

big bag of it than if we went to the store and got it retail.

especially good to note now that the holidays are coming and gifts

need to be made :-)

i'll keep you all posted as to what i find concerning the salt of the

seas.

BATH SALTS

1/4 cup Epsom Salts

1/8 cup baking soda

1/8 cup sea salt

10 drops essential oil

 

Measure all the salts into a bowl and blend them together thoroughly.

Add five drops of essential oil that you enjoy and blend it in well,

then add five more drops and blend. Package in an airtight container

and label. To use, Add 1/4 - 1/2 cup to bath water.

 

Variations:

 

Use different essential oils to vary the aromatherapy properties. Try

lavender, rosemary, sandalwood, eucalyptus or any citrus oil.

 

If you do not have all of the salts in the recipe, any of them can be

used individually. Some of the minerals in the salts do have

therapeutic functions. For example, Epson salts is magnesium sulfate

which draws out toxic substances and relieves aching muscles.
