- To Make: Place the sea salt in the bowl and stir in the sweet almond oil.
Next, blend in the baking soda, oat flour, and Epsom salts. Add the
essential oils in intervals, stirring in between, until all of the essential oils
are mixed into the salts. - To Store: Store in a sealed jar labeled with contents and expiration date
of 6 months. - To Use: Draw a bath. When the tub is full, add ⁄ cup or the desired
amount of bath salts to the water and swish around. Add any optional
embellishments from the sidebar on the following page. Get in the tub
and soak for at least 20 minutes, or longer to enjoy maximum therapeutic
benefits of the active botanical ingredients. When you are finished
soaking, rinse off in the shower to remove the sweat and toxins you
released as you bathed. After a bath is also the perfect time to use a body
scrub (see Chapter 4), as your skin is softened and easily exfoliated.
Follow with moisturizer if desired.
