Basic Bath Salt Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups Epsom salt, for purification
- ½ cup baking soda, for aura cleansing
- 3 to 6 drops of essential oil, blended into 1 tablespoon of a carrier oil such as sweet almond or jojoba (optional)
- 1 resealable storage bag
Directions
- If you are using essential oil, stir the drops into the carrier oil in a small dish first.
- Add the salt, the baking soda, and the blended oil to the bag, and state your intention for each one as you add it.
- Seal the bag and shake it well while you picture your intention.
- Pour the salts into the tub under warm running water and swish the water to dissolve them.
- Save the bag for your next spiritual bath.
A Note on Essential Oils
Essential oils don't mix into bathwater. They float on top in concentrated drops, which is why they go into a carrier oil first. Leave out hot oils such as cinnamon, clove, oregano, and thyme, which irritate skin even when diluted, and test any new oil on the inside of your wrist before you bathe with it. The carrier oil makes the tub slippery, so step out carefully. Our essential oil dilution guide covers safe amounts, and our spiritual bath guide has recipes for cleansing, protection, love, and money.
