Soak the Day Away

I was excited about many things in our new house. One of the most exciting parts was the bathtub. It is a big jacuzzi tub. I can fill it up and sink low enough to actually keep warm. It certainly makes a perfect ending to a long day. Even my husband enjoys a bath every now and then in the big tub.

When I’m not feeling well, the first thing I do is take a good long bath. I’ve even been known to fall asleep in there. Even as a kid, I’d fall asleep in the tub. When I’m chilled, it’s the only thing that can truly warm me up. If I’m having sinus issues then I’ll add some DIY fizzing bath salts with essential oils to help relieve the congestion.

When I’ve had a long day at school, I jump in the tub to soak the day away. Adding some fizzing bath salts with a calming aroma melts away the stress and chaos. I can finally slow down and take some deep breaths that will help me keep my sanity. When I get out, I like to use some foot butter to help moisturize.

With so many essential oil options, there’s an aroma for everything.

About the DIY Fizzing Bath Salts

Salt is good for the skin. Plus, it helps to soothe any irritation. Therefore the DIY fizzing bath salts perfect for a wintertime bath. For example, it will help to soothe the dry, cracked skin that comes with cold weather. Salt can also ease muscle aches. I use two kinds of salts in this mix and each have their own unique benefits as well.

The pink Himalayan salt balances pH levels and lowers blood pressure. The epsom salt reduces inflammation and stress. Additionally, it can increase your magnesium levels.

Using the DIY Fizzing Bath Salts

For adults use about a quarter of a cup per bath. If using the fizzing bath salts for a child under 12 reduce the amount by about half.

Mix the bath salts around in the tub until they dissolve. It works best to place them directly under the faucet while running a warm bath.

Storing the DIY Fizzing Bath Salts

Like anything made with essential oils, the DIY fizzing bath salts are best kept in glass and away from direct sunlight. Because of the salt, the lid needs to be airtight. I put mine in a mason jar and keep them in the bathroom cabinet. Packaging them in spice jars makes great gifts.
