Herbal Bath Salts

You can create many homemade gifts from our lavender, rose, or chamomile flower for your friends and yourself. You can make bath bags, bath salts, bath fuzzies, bath oils, soap, sachets, salves, lotions, tea bags, dream pillows, and so many more.

One of my favorite is bath salts. It’s super easy to make, and it makes your bath relaxing and very calming. Here’s a simple recipe:

•2 cups Epsom salt or Dead Sea salt

1 teaspoon ground or whole herb flowers

•2 tablespoons of your favorite carrier oil (sweet almond, apricot kernel, olive oil)

•10-15 drops essential oil (opt)

Few drops of food color (opt.)

In a medium-sized glass mixing bowl, add salt and carrier oil and mix well. Add essential oils and food color, mix. Lastly, add flowers and stir lightly. Store in an airtight glass container.

Fill tub with very warm water, add 1-3 tablespoons of your homemade bath salts. Slip into the fragrant bath up to your neck, and enjoy!

Plantain, not the banana, but Plantago major. Plantain is a versatile medicinal plant known for its wound healing, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and digestive-supporting properties. I use plantain for rashes when seasonal allergies show themselves. I usually get a rash on my hands, arms, and lower legs in the spring, just when I have a lot of garden work to do. So, I harvest a handful of plantain leaves, dry them a couple of days to reduce the water content, and cover them in coconut or olive oil in a glass jar for several weeks. I know the rash is coming, so I have this started long before I really need it. I use the finished plantain oil infusion as is, but beeswax can be added to make a salve as in the photo. I have finished plantain herbal salve in my shop if you need some too. I also have dried plantain leaves from my garden for infusions and tea making as well. Shop HERE
