Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Epsom salt
- 1 cup Baking soda
- 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
- 10 drops Eucalyptus essential oil
- 5 drops Lavender essential oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (optional, grated)
Instructions
Draw a warm bath in a standard-sized tub, filling it to a comfortable level.
In a small bowl, mix the Epsom salt and baking soda together until well combined.
Add the peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender essential oils to the salt mixture and stir gently to distribute the oil evenly.
Optional: If using fresh ginger, grate it finely and set aside.
Sprinkle the salt and essential oil mixture into the warm bathwater, ensuring it dissolves completely.
If using fresh ginger, add the grated ginger directly to the bathwater for an additional warming effect.
Gently swirl the water with your hand to evenly disperse the ingredients throughout the bath.
Step into the tub and soak for 20-30 minutes, breathing deeply to enjoy the aromatic benefits.
After finishing, rinse off with a quick, lukewarm shower to remove any residue from the essential oils and salts.
