Soothe + Relax Bath Soak

At the end of a long day, I love soaking in a warm bath with one of my many homemade bath soaks! This is one that’s in especially frequent rotation.

Why homemade? I get to avoid synthetic fragrances, chemicals, and preservatives when I make it myself. Plus I get to experiment to my essential oil-obsessed heart’s content with new scent blends!

Check out my easy-peasy recipe for a soothing and relaxing bath soak with lavender, white fir, and Frankincense essential oils. Enjoy!

benefits:

lavender essential oil – widely used for its calming and relaxing qualities; eases muscle tension

white fir essential oil – helps the body relax, supports clear breathing & respiratory function

frankincense essential oil – promotes feelings of peace, relaxation, and overall wellness

Ingredients:

1 cup epsom salts

1/2 cup dendritic salt*

1 teaspoon fractionated coconut oil, or olive oil

6 drops lavender essential oil

3 drops white fir essential oil

2 drop frankincense essential oil

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in a glass bowl. Stir together completely. Mixture should be mostly dry. The coconut or olive oil is added mainly to help evenly disperse the essential oils. Alternately, you could add 1 teaspoon of liquid castile soap.

Once blended completely, put the bath salts into a glass jar. Use ~1/2 – 1 cup per bath.

*Dendritic salts are fine grain salts, they have a larger surface area than epsom or other salts, allowing them to absorb and hold the essential oil fragrance longer.

Please consult your healthcare provider and do your own research before using essential oils.
