Servings 2 cups

Epsom salt, sea salt, mustard powder, baking soda and oils. Add a scoop to a hot bath after a long day.

What You’ll Need

1 cup Epsom salt
1/2 cup sea salt
1/3 cup organic mustard seed powder (or grind your own organic whole mustard seeds)
1/4 cup baking soda
1 Tbsp. organic ginger root powder
1 tsp. organic cinnamon powder
15 drops organic lavender essential oil
5 drops organic eucalyptus essential oil
5 drops organic rosemary essential oil
3 drops organic ginger essential oil

Directions

Stir all the ingredients together until fully blended.
Spoon into a dry, airtight bottle or jar.

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.
