1 cup epsom salt
1 cup sea salt
2 cups baking soda
Essential oil(s)
10 drops food coloring (optional)
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl, then add 4 teaspoons of essential oil in any fragrance or combination. Stir. You may also tint the bath salts if you so desire by adding 10 drops of food coloring to the bowl after you add the essential oils.
Stir again. Store bath salts in a tightly capped container for 2 to 3 days before using. You can also divide the bath salts equally between 2 large bowls, tint them different colors, and then carefully pour them into a clear container, making what appears to be "sand art". Or tint one red, and scent both containers with peppermint oil, then layer it in a clear container and wrap with red ribbon.
This "peppermint stick" makes a great Christmas gift!

Gentle Uplifting Bath Salts
1 cup of sea salt (or Epsom Salts)
1 tablespoon of baking soda
3 drops bergamot oil
3 drops rose geranium oil
3 drops lavender oil
2 drops frankincense oil
To color these use light pastel colors, to continue the uplifting feeling. I
like light green or yellow personally.
Take the oils and mix them together in a separate bowl that you have thesalts in. Mix the oils well.Mix the bath salts and baking soda. Add the two together. Store in a clear jar with a cork top lid preferably. These are great for gift giving.
Bridal Bath Salts
(in 4 layers ~ makes 16oz.)
2 Cups Rock Salt
1/2 Teaspoon of Each Fragrance Oil
Rose, Sage, Lavender, Rosemary
Food Color
Divide salt into four equal amounts, place each in a container with sealable
lids. That’s 1/2 cup in each container or for 8 ounces of bath salts use 1/4
cup in each container and half the amount of fragrance oil and food color.
Add 1/2 teaspoon Rose fragrance oil and 4 Drops of red food color (or you
can leave it white), put lid on and shake well. To the next one add 1/2
teaspoon Chamomile-Sage (or just sage if you have it) and 4 drops of green
and 2 drops of blue food color and shake.
To the third add 1/2 teaspoon Lavender fragrance oil, 3 drops of red and 4
drops of blue food color and shake well. To the last container add 1/2
teaspoon Rosemary fragrance oil, 4-8 drops of green food color and shake.
On separate pieces of wax paper, spread out each color and air dry for several hours. When the salt is completely dry layer it in the container. Rosemary ~ Lavender ~ Sage ~ Rose (on top) To speed up the drying process you can put the wax paper on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven and let the pilot light work on it or for an electric oven, pre-heat at lowest temperature and turn off before putting salt in the oven. You have just made lovely layered bath salts that also has special meaning.

Aspen Dreams Bath Salts
This scent is very woody, and is suited for soothing your muscles and
relaxing in the tub. It is very masculine in scent, I think. I enjoy this
after a long day at work, it makes me feel comfortable and content. Women
love it as well as men do.
The ingredients are:
2 cups of Epsom salts (or a mixture epsom/sea)
2 tablespoons of baking soda
essential oils:
5 drops of rosewood
2 drops cedarwood
2 drops Chamomile
a nice jar with a tight fitting lid
To make the salts:
Mix the salts and baking soda in a bowl very well.
Mix oils in a small cup. Take them and pour them evenly over the salt.
Mix the two very well.
Let sit for over an hour before placing in a jar and sealing.
If you are going to color these use yellow and red to make a light brown.
