Notes
Essential Oils:
Essential oils do so much more than make your bath salts smell nice. You can choose oils such as lavender and rosemary to help reduce stress. There are so many options to choose from but I will advise you to do a little research on the oils that you choose and to use a good quality grade essential oil. Please note that some essential oils may cause irritation and are not suitable for the bath.
I like to mix all ingredients together expect for the essential oil and the carrier oil (jojoba oil or olive oil) until just before giving away the bath salts. This allows me to customize it and keeps it fresh.
When adding in the essential oils, blend your choice of essential oils together with the jojoba or olive oil and then add to your bath salt mix. Blend well.
Dried Herbs:
Dried herbs have many healing and beneficial properties. I have used dried lavender from my garden or you can get creative and come up with some wonderful creations on your own. I love Mountain Rose Herbs for online herb and essential oil shopping. Here you can look for herbs for dry skin, relaxation, itchy skin etc.
A little side note, larger pieces of herbs tend to get stuck in the drain. You can use a food processor to make the herbs a bit smaller or use a little cheesecloth bag
The little Cheesecloth bags look like a tea bag and make clean up a breeze. I do like to use them and gift them with the bath salts. You can also use the bags for brewing loose tea so they are nice to have on hand.
