If you’ve never tried bath salts, you’d be forgiven for wondering why anyone would bother with them.

But you don’t know until you know. Y’know?

Picture the scene: you’ve come home from a day out or from a day at work, you’re tired, your back is achy, and your feet are throbbing. You start to run yourself a lovely, hot bath. You throw in a cheeky handful of bath salts because, well, you’ve heard good things and you fancy being indulgent. You’ve earnt it.

You step into the bath which welcomes you like a warm hug…then the magic happens.

You feel your muscles relax…

the aches disappear…

and you feel like you’re in a steamy bowl of cloud 9 blissfulness. What’s more, this feeling can last up to 3-4 hours after the bath!

You see, bath salts, thanks to their magnesium content, are known muscle relaxants. They help drain toxins and extract muscle build-up, so they’re bound to make bath time your favourite time.

 

Bath salts DIY

Whether you already have your own Epsom salts or just have some coarse Himalayan salts in the cupboard, we have just the recipe so you can make our luxurious organic bath salts at home.

Here’s what you need:

– 90g of Epsom or Himalayan salts
– 10g of dried botanicals (like lavender buds, rose petals, or calendula)
– 15-20 drops of essential oils. For an extra relaxing bath, we recommend lavender, sandalwood and frankincense.

Method:
In a mixing bowl add your salts, botanicals and essential oils. We recommend you use a metal or silicone mixing spoon as wood will absorb the oils; any future use in the kitchen will make your food taste like soap – not that we would know these things for any particular reason!
Mix thoroughly and pop into one of those jars you kept for the day you’d do a DIY.

This recipe makes 3-4 baths. Always seal the jar after sprinkling over your bath, or the salts will harden from being in contact with humidity.

Until next time, we send you peace, light and blissful bathing!
