Makes 8 oz

• ¾ cups of epsom salt
• ¼ cup dried lavender flowers
• 20 drops lavender essential oil or essential oils of your choice

Directions:

Add epsom salts and essential oil to a bowl and stir well.

Add lavender buds and stir to combine.

Store your homemade bath salt blends in a glass jar such as mason jars or airtight container. Shake or stir before each use, as the epsom salts will tend to sink.

Run a warm bath and mix in ¼-½ cup of bath salts into the bath water.

Add more hot or cold for your desired temperature, then enjoy a good soak 15-20 minutes while enjoying its soothing effects!

Bath salts can last anywhere from 4-6 months, depending on the ingredients and how they are stored. The main thing that will affect their shelf life is exposure to moisture and air. If they are kept in a sealed container and away from humidity, they will last longer.
