Scented Bath Salts
by Cynthia Lewis
 
Bath Salt RecipeHere is another bath recipe that my Grandmother taught me. We would spend the weekend before Christmas filling jars of the aromatic bath salts then hand them out to our family and friends. It was a tradition my Grandmother shared with me that I now share with my daughters. I hope you like it as much as we do.
 
Lavender & Rosemary Scented Bath Salts 
  • 3 cups baking soda
  • 1/4 cup dried lavender
  • 3 tablespoons rosemary essential oil
  • 3 tablespoons eucalyptus essential oil
  • 1/4 cup sea salt
Mix it well then place in an jar (I use mason/preserve jars). Add a couple of handfuls to your bath water and stir around before getting in.
