Homemade Epsom Salts Detox Bath Recipe: Take This Day and Shove It
Always having a love for essential oils and how they can really make you feel better, I poured over the Internet on how to make homemade bath salts.
There were so many different methods, and it was really overwhelming. After many trial and error, and smelling like every essential oil over the sun, I decided to make things simple. That’s how this recipe was born.
What is Epsom Salt?
When I started making these bath salt recipes, I wondered WTF is Epsom salt. On the bag of Epsom salts I get from Target, the bag says how it’s a great muscle relaxer and also great to relieve constipation.
Yup, THAT is what I want to think about when soaking my cares away in the tub.
Don’t panic though, you have to DRINK the epsom salts for the laxative effects. As long as you don’t gulp bath water (ewwww, who does that), you are safe!
Funny act about Epsom salt, is that it’s not really salt.
It’s named for the town Epsom, a town in Surrey, England, where this compound of magnesium and sulfate.
It’s been used for hundreds of years to pull out the toxins in your body and replace it with the Epsom salt compound.
Combine that with the kick ass super powers of essential oils, and you have a relaxing bath that will have you feeling sublime at the end of a hard day.
