What a great way to relax and relieve your stiff joints after a hard day’s work than to soak yourself in a hot bath. While your time and relish the benefits of minerals in this bath salt recipe. Bath salts are usually inorganic and water soluble bath additives used improve the cleaning and bathing experience. They are said to mimic the properties of mineral baths or hot springs.

With the scent of musk and jasmine melding together, you’ll be transported immediately to the decadence of a Turkish hammam or the lushness of the gardens of the Generalife.
Ingredients:
5 drops FD&C Yellow No. 5
4 drops FD&C Red No. 3
4 drops musk essential oil
3 drops jasmine essential oil
3 cups Epsom salt
1 cup baking soda
2 teaspoons food grade glycerin
Method:
Mix Epsom salt, baking soda, and food grade glycerin until blended well. Add the essential oils while stirring continuously until no clumps are left, but only a fine powder. Then, divide the mixture equally into three separate bowls. Add three drops of yellow on the first bowl, add three drops of red on the second bowl, and add two drops of yellow and a drop of red on the third bowl. Stir each bowl until color is well distributed. Air-dry the bowls for a few hours before placing in a bottle.
