Salts Of The Earth…..
You know, salt really is a wonderful commodity; I have been making my own bath salts for many years but even now I am still learning, still experimenting with different blends of oils, different types of salt, adding colours, lavender heads, rose petals………. the possibilites are truly endless.
For anyone interested the easiest and most basic recipe of all is as follows:
225ml Epsom Salts (these contain magnesium)
225ml Sea Salt (fine or coarse – the choice is yours)
10-20 drops of fragrance oil (I recommend lavender for its relaxing qualities)
10 drops food colouring (optional)
Method
Mix the salts together well, then scoop about a 1/4 into a smaller bowl. To this add your fragrance and colour and blend thoroughly. Once this is done gradually add to the remainder a little at a time until you are happy with the colour strength.
Add to running water and enjoy your bath!
