This detox bath recipe supports your body's natural detox processes using epsom salts and an invigorating essential oil blend.
10 drops Juniper Berry | |
10 drops Grapefruit | |
6 drops Rosemary | |
1 drops Fennel (Sweet) | |
1 cup Epsom Salts | |
1 cup Salt | |
1/2 cup Baking Soda | |
6 tbsp Carrier oil of your choice |
1. Mix the salts and baking soda together in a glass bowl.
2. Add the essential oils and carrier oil and mix. I like to use Jojoba oil as the carrier oil as it's so nourishing for the skin but you can use any carrier oil you prefer.
3. Add around half a cup of the mix to a hot bath and stir to dissolve.
4. Store the remainder in a glass jar in a dark place.
You'll see some bath salt recipes that don't use carrier oil but if you leave the carrier oil out, you'll end up with undiluted drops of essential oil floating in the bath and getting onto your skin - this can cause irritation, particularly if the oil comes into contact with sensitive areas of the skin. So I always use carrier oil in my bath salts.
