I was feeling stiff and cold to my bones after a day gardening in the blustering rain, so I decided to come in and make a relaxing bath salt blend for muscles & mind.
I simply added a few handfuls of dried rose petals and calendula to a mixture of magnesium flakes, Himalayan pink salt, and sweet almond oil. I also added a few drops of lavender essential oil and then made sure it was thoroughly stirred.
- Magnesium is known for being a wonderful muscle relaxant, especially for cramps during that time of the month, and has mood boosting effects
- Lavender is soothing and calming, and is also antibacterial
- Calendula heals skin and body
- Rose calms, balances, and tones the skin
I simply throw a handful under warm running bath water and stir to dissolve, then scoop the flowers out before I drain the tub. You can also scoop the mixture into a muslin bag and pop that straight into the tub to save yourself the hassle of cleaning it up after you’re nicely relaxed from your soak!
Let me know if you have any favourite ingredients in your bath-time ritual xoxo
