Makes bath soak

Equipment

1 scale or measuring cups
1 large bowl
1 mixing spoon or spatula
recycled jars or plastic container(s) for storage

Ingredients

2 cups / 475 g Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate)
OR 2 cups magnesium flakes (magnesium chloride), see notes
1-2 tablespoon dried rose petals organic!
1-2 tablespoon dried lavender organic!
¼ cup / 70g fine rock or sea salt optional

Instructions

How to make

Simply mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
Scoop or decant your homemade bath salts into some empty jars or container(s) and you’re done!

How to use

As a soothing bath: Add one batch (about 2 cups) of your bath salts to warm bath water and let it dissolve. Enjoy a relaxing, stress-relieving magnesium bath for about 15-20 minutes.
As a relaxing foot soak: Add about 2-3 tablespoons, or up to 2 cups, of the bath salts to a small tub (big enough to fit your feet) with warm water. Soak your feet for 15 minutes.

Notes

Epsom salts/magnesium flakes: Both options are great. Epsom salts are often easier to buy in shops and more available. Magnesium flakes have a higher concentration of pure magnesium enhancing its benefits (see post). You can also use half/half, 1 cup each.
