Bath Salts

   1/2 cup of salt
   1/2 cup baking soda
   food coloring and scented oil (optional)

Mix together 1/2 cup of salt, 1/2 cup epsom salts, and 1/2 cup baking soda. Mix well, adding food coloring and scented oil if desired.

Keep tightly closed. Add to bath water by tablespoons to desired strength. It makes a very soothing and relaxing bath, as well as being good for your skin.

Bath Oils

   Simply add any vegetable oil (i.e., almond, olive or sunflower) to the bath water. Baby oil or mineral oil is not suitable as it cannot be absorbed by the skin and only remains on the skin surface. These basic oils can also be mixed with some of the herb oils or aromatic oil.
