Lavendar Fields Bath Soak

Make your own bath salts to give away as gifts or to sooth your nerves on a stressful day.


1 cup of epsom salt

1 cup of sea salt

1/2 cup of dried lavendar blossoms *

20-30 drops of lavendar essential oil *

10 small herbal tea sachets or cheese cloth bags *


Combine all ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl and spoon into the sachet bags. Close each one tightly and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until ready to use. This mixture also looks pretty stored in a clear jar by the bath. Just make sure to scoop into a sachet before throwing it into the tub or omit the lavendar blossoms from the mixtutre to prevent a mess.


*Items can be found at most well stocked health food stores or massage supply warehouses (www.massagewarehouse.com)
