Notes
Add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup to running warm water and soak 15 to 20 minutes (less for sensitive skin). Shower to rinse off, then rinse out the tub. Store dry and airtight; it lasts about 6 months.
For sensitive skin, use less mustard and essential oil, and watch how your skin feels. Don’t use these salts to bathe small children.
Safety: mustard, cinnamon, and ginger are warming and can irritate, so do a patch test and keep it out of your eyes. Eucalyptus and rosemary oils are not for pets, and check with your doctor during pregnancy.
