I have done more soaking over the last two years than I have my entire life! Mind you, I am not complaining, even though my soaks were part of my healing regimen, what a relaxing addition to my life!
It is important that we take time for ourselves, nurture our bodies and be good to ourselves!
Soaking is a therapeutic way to take care of all three at one time!
Homemade Bath Salt Recipe
1 1/2 cup coarse sea salt
3/4 cup Epsom salt
1/4 cup baking soda
3 to 6 drops of essential oils of choice
Place in a pint jar and close with flat and ring.
This is a great recipe to gift to a friend! Place a ribbon around the outside of the jar around the ring or just add a piece of cloth or festive holiday cloth between the flat and ring of your jar to create that special gift!
You can also add coconut oil to your bath to soften your skin while you soak and counteract the drying effects of the salt.
My favorite essential oils for my soaks are Lavender and Lemongrass. Lemongrass is a great oil to help the body detox, but as with any essential oil – less is more. Even though the essential oils do get diluted in the water, very little is necessary to get the full effects of the aromatherapy that you will receive.
NOTE: It is important that you do NOT soak in Epsom salt daily, for weeks on end. Magnesium Sulfate can have ill effects on the body, mainly the mind. As with anything, always use in moderation. Also, so as not to scare anyone from using Epsom salt, I personally soak in Epsom salt roughly once a week or twice a month in addition to my other soaks using different products.
Epsom salt is extremely useful in removing inflammation and pain and I would have been LOST without this recipe for the last two years. It was an essential for me to soak weekly after my deep muscle therapy to help my body relax and to allow it to remove all the toxins.
Enjoy and remember to be good to yourself!
