DIY Muscle-Soothing Bath Salts Recipe with Essential Oils and Epsom Salt

Step 1

Start by adding 1 cup of Epsom salts into your mason jar. Add 15 drops of Eucalyptus and 5 drops of Peppermint. Eucalyptus is a powerful anti-inflammatory oil, and Peppermint aids in muscle relaxation and pain relief.

Step 3

Epsom salt contains a substantial amount of magnesium, which gives it its many therapeutic advantages ².

Step 5

Optional: add ¼ cup of Jojoba essential oil to help soothe and moisturize your skin during the bath.

Step 7

Combine everything well. Fill your bath with warm water and add about ¼ cup of your bath salts.

Step 9

Note: Do not add essential oils directly to bath water. You need a diluting agent to properly disperse the essential oils throughout your bath water. If you have sensitive skin or previously known conditions, start by using a small amount of the mixture and gradually adjust as you’re comfortable with more.
