D.I.Y. Bath Salt Blends

1/15/2018

3 Comments

 

Over the holidays, my family got quite a few lovely bouquets with roses and baby’s breath and other cute little flowers. That really got me to brainstorming: I have all these essential oils I’ve collected over the past couple of years, I love Epsom salt baths, and I love flowers.  So, I started drying out the rose petals and tiny decorative flowers, picked some lavender from my herb garden, and hopped online to research ratios for my blends.
These blends make great gifts for friends and family. They also allow you to turn your bath time into spa time, reaping the benefits of both Epsom salt soaks, and aromatherapy.

I came up with two bath soaks that I really enjoy, but this recipe makes a good base for any essential oil blend you prefer. Let this be your jumping off point! Also, if you’re like me and don’t want to wait a while for all the flowers to dry, turn your oven on its lowest setting, lay your flowers, herbs, and/or petals out on a baking sheet, and stick them in the oven. Start with 8-10 minutes and check every few minutes after that. The good thing about low temperature oven drying is that its way faster than just waiting for air to do the trick, and it preserves the color of the rose petals.
And without further ado…

Ingredients:
  • Epsom Salt
  • Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
  • Dried rose petals
  • Dried lavender
  • Any other small dried flower you want to add for looks (i.e. baby’s breath, chamomile, etc.)
  • Essential Oils (my blends used lavender, patchouli, sandalwood in the first and a CBD blend from Blue Ridge Hemp in the second)
  • Carrier Oil
    • this is to dilute the harshness of the essential oils on your skin, it is not necessary, but recommended
    • I use almond oil because it’s what I had on hand
  • Jars
  • Small Muslin Bags
 
The base for the bath soak is 2 cups Epsom salts to one cup of Pink Himalayan Sea Salt.  I got both of mine off amazon. I also purchased 6oz mason jars for storage.  One batch of this salt blend will produce 3-5 jars depending on how many additional additives you put in and how full you make the jars.  Add 8-10 drops (combined) of oils, and 5-8 drops of carrier oil, then mix while slowly adding additional salt at the 2 to 1 ratio until you have the texture you want.  Add flowers and/or dried herbs, mix again and pour into your jars. It’s that simple!

“I am at Peace” Crown Chakra Blend
In a big bowl, put two cups of the Epsom salt and one cup of Himalayan.  Add 5 drops of your carrier oil (if you are using it), then add 3 drops of lavender oil, 3 of patchouli, 3 of frankincense, and 3 of sandalwood. Blend with ¼ cup of dried lavender, 1/8 chopped rose petals, and 1/8 cup baby’s breath (optional).  Feel free to add more or less of anything depending on your personal preference.  Mix well, adding additional salt to get the texture you desire.  The salts should have a hint of oil to the touch, but not be clumping together or obviously over saturated. Next, pour into your jars, and done! When it comes time to using your salts, if you don’t like the idea of pouring flower petals and herbs directly into your bath, take one of the little muslin bags I mentioned above, add your bath soak to the bag, and toss the bag in your tub for a mess free solution.​
“Calm and Relax Blend” from Blue Ridge Hemp
I’m a big fan of blue ridge hemp products.  I’ve had my calm and relax CBD roll on for a while and love the smell of the oils.  I also love CBD products, so for this blend, I decided to just pop off the top of my roll on, pour in about half the contents, and blend with my 2 to 1 salt mix.  Then I added ¼ cup dried lavender, about a tablespoon of tangerine zest, dried rose petals, and some dried little flowers that I can’t identify but came in a bouquet I got. The ingredients in the CBD blend are: Grapeseed Oil, Cannabis sativa L. Extract, Lavender Flower, Valerian Root, Tangerine Essential Oil, Orange Essential Oil, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil, Patchouli Essential Oil, Blue Tansy Essential Oil, Contains Amethyst. You can purchase it here: https://blueridgehempco.com/products/cbd-infused-roll-on-oil-blend-calm-relax. I am not and have never been paid by Blue Ridge Hemp, but I did receive this product for free about a year ago.
 I hope you guys enjoy this base recipe for making your own bath soaks.  Remember, I used 6 oz. jars and each batch made between 3-5 jars depending on how full I made them and how many flowers I put in.  You can use muslin bags for the same effect as adding the salts directly to the bath, but with the salts in the bag, there’s no chance of flowers clogging your drain. The blends I made are for what I needed for my body.  Mix one is for relaxation, connecting with myself, and bringing awareness to the here and now.  Mix two is for calming my mind and body. Both have multiple benefits because each ingredient (except the decorative flowers) is known to aid the body or mind in some way.  Have fun with it! Experiment! You never know what you might come up with!

    I'm Cheryl. I moved to California from Vermont in 2015, gave up the path I'd spent years planning for, and started down a road to a happier, more fulfilling life.  Goodbye suits and courtrooms, hello bare feet and yoga mats. After a few years, a couple of cross country moves, and a broken heart, I know I don't have all the answers, but I'm slowly starting to get the hang of things. :) I'm just taking things one day at a time, trying to figure out how to live my best life and help others do the same.
