After a long day, there is nothing more that I look forward to than a long epsom salt bath soak. I am always looking for something that will help my sore muscles and tension.
What I Love About This Recipe
I love how relaxing this bath soak is! It is also incredibly easy to make, so you don’t need to stress about the process of bringing everything together.
What’s in the Epsom Salt Bath Soak?
Eucalyptus Essential Oil
Eucalyptus essential oil is also wonderful for easing tension and inflammation in the body.* It has a cooling effect which does wonders for sore muscles.
Epsom Salts and Baking Soda
I always use a blend of Epsom salts and baking soda because they work well to draw out toxins and inflammation from the body. Both have been used in bath soaks for many years to effectively help relieve the body of tension.
Things to Remember When Using This Recipe
It’s important to use Eucalyptus in low dilutions, especially when taking a bath as it can cause your skin to tingle. That’s a great thing when it’s just a little tingle but a not-so-great thing when it’s a lot of tingle!
This recipe is safe to use with children 10+.
Keep this recipe away from your pets as the Eucalyptus Essential Oil may cause them irritation.
Never ingest any essential oil, even if it’s generally regarded as safe. For more information on why we don’t ingest essential oils, check out this blog post.
