Lavender Bath Salts
by Dawn
4 cups Epsom salts
2 cups Sea salt
1 cup table salt
1/8 cup borax
1 cup non fat powdered milk
1 cup baking soda
2 cups oatmeal ground to a very fine powder in a food processor or coffee
grinder-use ones called Old Fashioned
60 drops of lavender essential oil
Mix together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the lavender 10 drops at a time, thoroughly mixing it through.
Do this 4 times, so that the lavender essential oil is distributed as
evenly as possible.
You may put the mix in glass jars to store and use 1 cup per bath.

Sinus Headache Bath Salts
author unknown
2-3 cups Epsom salts (or salts of your choice)
1/3 cup peppermint
1/3 cup spearmint
40 drops peppermint oil
20 drops eucalyptus oil
Grind the mints in a mortar and pestle, then sifted them through a mesh
kitchen strainer, and add them to the salts.
Use about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of this mixture per bath. oils can vary
according to individual-probably 4 drops peppermint, 2 drops eucalyptus
per bath. Some people may be more sensitive to the peppermint, so be
sure they don't have an adverse reaction before using these salts.
Simple Bath Salts
1 part baking soda
2 parts Epsom salt
3 parts sea salt
Use up to 1/2 cup of bath salts per bath. You may also add powdered or
finely ground herbs and up to 10 drops of essential oils per cup of dry
ingredients.
Pat's Bath Salts
from the 1toiletires list at yahoo groups
2 cups Epsom salt
2 cups NaCl salt
2 cups baking soda
This is the base for the rest of the salts.
For an herbal salt add 2-3 ounces of finely ground herbs, whatever is
your choice. My Scarborough Faire blend of (of course) parsley, sage,
rosemary and thyme is popular, as is straight rosemary. In making a fine
salt, I grind the herbs to a powder, which leaves little to be seen in
the water, add them to the salt mix and grind them all together.
If you like the effect of oatmeal in your bath you can add 1 cup or two
of powdered oatmeal to the mix.
In addition, you can add a few drops of an essential oil of choice to
the bath, but I have given up adding them to mixes containing baking
soda that will not be used at once.

distributed throughout the mixture. Transfer the mixture into a food
processor and grind into a fine powder. Spoon into a bottle or jar.
