  • 2 cups Epsom salt
  • 8 drops pure lavender essential oil
  • 6 drops mint essential oil
  • 2 drops eucalyptus essential oil
  • 2 drops rosemary essential oil
  • 1 tsp dried comfrey root powder
  • 1 tsp dried lavender
  • 1 tsp dried mint leaves
  • 1/4 tsp dried Monarda (bee balm) petals or dried Centaurea (cornflower) petals

Directions

  • Fill the jar halfway with Epsom salt.
  • Add the essential oils, close the lid, and shake well.
  • Uncap the jar, drop in the dried herbs, and shake again.
  • Top off the jar with the rest of the Epsom salt and give it a final shake.

Notes

Add 1/4 cup to an electric footbath, a shallow tub or a flat-bottomed bowl of warm water; soak feet 10-15 minutes, pat dry and discard the water. For a bath, 1 cup for a small tub or 2 cups for a larger tub; catch the herbs with a drain strainer and compost them.
