Lavender Bath Salts

Recipe #336905 | 2 min | 2 min prep | add private note

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz........... Epsom and sea salts help soothe tired muscles and the combination softens the water for a relaxing experience. Add 1 tablespoon of finely ground regular (not quick) oatmeal for even more skin softening. You can adjust the ingredients to suit your preferences... they're quite forgiving.

SERVES 4 , 4 baths, approximately (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup epsom salts
  • 1/2 cup sea salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons baking soda
  • 8 drops lavender oil (good quality essential oil)
  • lavender leaves (optional)
  • food coloring (red and blue) (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine salts and baking soda, then add essential oils and stir gently but well.
  2. 2
    Add food coloring to achieve lavender (red and blue gets close if you don't have lavender-colored), then fold in lavender leaves if using. They tend to float in the bath, so be warned -- those aren't little bugs surrounding you!
  3. 3
    Store in a tightly sealed jar and use about 1/3 cup per bath.
