Epsom salt, a little baking soda, and a few drops of essential oil stirred into a simple bath soak, with optional color.
What You’ll Need
- 2 cups Epsom salt
- 1 to 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 10 drops essential oil
- food coloring paste optional
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- airtight jar
Directions
- Put the Epsom salt and baking soda in a bowl and stir to mix.
- Add the essential oil a few drops at a time, stirring so the scent spreads through the salt.
- For color, work in a small dab of food coloring paste until the color is even.
- Spoon into a glass jar with a tight lid.
Notes
Stir a handful into a warm bath. Test on a small patch of skin first, and skip the essential oil for children or anyone with sensitive skin.
