Directions

  1. Mix Epsom salt and baking soda together in a bowl using a metal spoon (a wooden spoon will absorb the essential oils and be ruined.)

  2. Drop in the essential oils and food coloring, placing each drop in its own little spot on top of the salts. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

  3. Store mixture in a dark glass or PET plastic jar. Let cure at least 24 hours before using.

  4. Use about one cup of homemade bath salts per bath. This salt bath recipe makes enough for three baths.

Cautions

Do not increase the amount of essential oils. A little goes a long way, and Eucalyptus can be toxic at high concentrations.

Also, do not use this salt bath recipe if you have high blood pressure or epilepsy (eucalyptus and rosemary are contraindicated for them.)

Where to Buy Bath Salt Ingredients

Epsom salt should be at your local pharmacy. Baking soda (need I say it?) is available at your supermarket.

My go-to supplier for basic aromatherapy recipe ingredients is Mountain Rose Herbs. They have good products at excellent prices, and their staff is always friendly and helpful. Here's some quick links to the ingredients you'll need for this epsom salt bath recipe...

I have to share another supplier for essential oils that I personally now use because I've found their quality to be the best. I switched to doTerra after buying a few oils like lavender and tea tree and comparing them in my recipes.

What I found was that they worked faster and more effectively than any other brand I've tried. So I want to offer their oils to you as well. It's always good to have options, don't you think?

You can shop doTerra retail by clicking the Shop button at the top. Or click Join & Save to become a wholesale customer and get 25% discount. Message me to learn more about the perks of going wholesale.


Buy from Amazon if you love variety. You can always find deals, and you'll never run out of options. Just remember that if you pay a low price you're going to get a low quality, especially in the land of essential oils. This is an area where you need to buy the best you can afford, trust me.
