I have had several people ask me how to make the Candy Cane Bath salts that I posted on Instagram and FB! Here ya go!
- 2 cups of epsom salts
- 2 tbs. almond oil
- 2 tsp of baking soda
- 1 drop of red food coloring (you can get natural coloring at a health food store or you can use beet juice!)
- 6 drops of your favorite doTERRA essential oil
- 1 pint Mason Jar
- Place 1 cup epsom salts in two separate bowls.
- Add 1 tbs. of almond oil and 1 tsp of baking soda into each bowl
- Into 1 bowl, add the 1 drop of coloring
- Into each bowl, add 3 cups of doTERRA essential oil
- Mix each bowl well
- To create the candy cane effect, layer white salt, then red etc.
- Use 1/4 cup per bath
- I added about 4 drops of coloring to make my red darker so you can play around with this!
- Beet juice coloring is very staining and I did not try this myself so not sure if this would stain your body or not! You may want to experiment :)
- This adds a little extra moisturizer to the bath for softer feeling skin.
Magnesium helps:
- Flush toxins and heavy metals from the cells
- Eases muscle pain
- Relieves stress because it allows the body to bind to adequate levels of serotonin which make us do our happy dance :)
- Improves the body’s ability to use insulin so great for diabetics!
- Improves our heart and circulatory health
So as you can see this can make a great gift or the holidays or change-up the color for a baby shower or birthday gift. You could add a cute little tag with the recipe and benefits of an Epsom Salt bath soak!
I would love to hear about ways you use your Essential Oils! I have been amazed at how they are changing my life and would love for you to share how they have changed yours! Not ALL ESSENTIAL OILS are created equal. Oils can say 100% pure therapeutic grade and not be completely pure. I highly recommend to do your own research! doTERRA Oils are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade and is tested on 6 different levels for their purity. If you have any questions or need help locating the right oil for your own particular health issues please send me an email and be sure to check out my website for all things doTERRA! Happy Holidays!
