What you'll need to make floral bath salts
coarse Himalayan salt (I get mine here)- Using a process called dermal absorption,
our skin soaks up the minerals and trace elements from the bath water, including
calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, selenium,
sodium, zinc, and iron. Additionally, regular bathing in Himalayan salt can help
detox the body, reduce inflammation, lessen muscle aches & pain, temporarily
increase blood circulation, and improve sleep.

Epsom salt (find my favorite here) - Did you know that Epsom salt is not actually a
salt? It's actually a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and
sulfate. Studies have shown that magnesium and sulfate are both readily absorbed
through the skin, making Epsom salt baths an easy and ideal way to enjoy the
amazing health benefits. Benefits of Epsom salt: eases stress and relaxes the
body, helps draw toxins out of the body, helps reduce inflammation, and helps
improve the absorption of nutrients.

coarse Dead Sea salt (click here for what I use)- Dead Sea salts contain 21 minerals
including magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and potassium.
These essential minerals naturally occur in our bodies but must be replenished, as
they are lost throughout the day. These minerals are known to treat, detoxify, and
cleanse our bodies. Benefits of Dead Sea salt: potassium helps to balance skin
moisture, bromides helps reduce muscle pain and stiffness, sodium helps improves
the circulation of lymphatic fluid, magnesium helps support a great night's
sleep, iodine is important for the correct functioning of the thyroid gland and is aids
in the body's metabolic exchanges, and sulfur is known as a powerful detoxifying
agent, as it works closely with the liver to rid the body of toxins.

baking soda - Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, provides a naturally alkaline

substance with a reputation for helping to remove toxins. Additionally, baking soda
helps soften skin and leaves skin feeling silky soft.

How to use floral bath salts
• Depending on the size of your tub, use about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of this salt blend per
bath.

• You can add the bath salts directly to the bathtub if you like. It is beautiful to see
all of the flowers floating on top of the water. However, you'll want to gather up
all the flowers and discard them before draining the bath water. You don't want
to risk the flowers clogging your drain.

• Alternatively, you can put the floral bath salts in a cotton muslin bag (like this)
and then hang the muslin bag from the water spout so that the hot water hits
the bag as it fills the tub. The salts, essential oils and flowers will dissolve and
impart their therapeutic properties to the water. After the tub fills, you can also
add the bag to the tub water. (note: the bags are reusable. simply launder the
bags in between uses.)

• When you're done with your bath, be careful getting out of the tub. The apricot
kernel oil can make the tub a bit slippery.

• Pat your skin dry with soft, absorbent towel (don't rub)

• Want an extra dose of moisture? finish your bath by putting on a bit of my

luxurious whipped body butter. It's the softest, silkiest body butter I've ever
tried. Get the recipe here
