Relaxing Soaks

Aches and Pains

Aching muscles and joints can be soothed by a therapeutic soak in Epsom Salts (magnesium sulphate) and pure essential oils. Magnesium sulphate is absorbed through the skin and is used for relaxation, stress relief and to draw out toxins. It sedates the nervous system, helps to reduce swelling and relaxes muscles.

Bath Soak

Take the phone off the hook. Light a nice candle away from flammable materials. Dissolve 1/2 cup of Epsom Salts in a bath of warm water.  Add 6-8 drops of Lavender oil. Pour yourself in and relax for 20 minutes.

Foot Soak

Dissolve 1/4 cup of Epsom Salts in a large stainless steel bowl of warm water. Add 2 drops Lavender, 2 drops Tea Tree, 2 drops Peppermint and 2 drops Sage oils. Soak your feet for 15-20 minutes.

Don't use a plastic bowl because the essential oils can dissolve the fillers.

Hand Soak

Dissolve 1/4 cup Epsom Salts in a stainless steel bowl of warm water. Add 3-4 drops of Lavender oil. Soak your hands for 15-20 minutes.
