Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Sinus Headache Bath Salts 2-3 cups Epsom salts (or salts of your choice) 1/3 cup peppermint 1/3 cup spearmint 40 drops peppermint eo 20 drops eucalyptus eo I ground the mints in my mortar and pestle, then sifted them through a mesh kitchen strainer, and added them to the salts. Actually, I didn't really measure the amount, it was just a good handful of each. This seems to work pretty well for me, and if you still need to clear out your sinuses, get a half cup of pepper/spearmint, put it in a bowl, and toss in a cup or so hot water. Let it sit covered for a bit and then carefully start breathing the steam. Use about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of this mixture per bath. I went through the 'batch' within 2 weeks, but someone suggested to mix the salts and dried herbs beforehand, and when the need for the bath arises, to add the oil's then to guarantee potency. A decent amount would probably be 4 drops peppermint, 2 drops eucalyptus per bath. Some people may be more sensitive to the peppermint, so be sure they don't have an adverse reaction before using these salts. ~ Author Unknown ~ "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."
