How to Make a Mineral Bath
If you've ever been to a mineral spa, you know the skin benefits and relaxation that it provides. Mineral baths carry such benefits as relaxing you, lowering your stress and some even claim they may help your body to release toxins. Here's how to make your own soak at home.
Steps

Sea salts and rosewater mineral bath

Gather the ingredients. For this mineral bath, you'll need: 1 cup sea salt 1/4 cup baking soda 1/2 cup borax (optional) 1 cup Hawaiian red sea salt 1 cup Himalayan pink salt 1 1/2 cup Epsom salt 1 1/4 cup Kaolin white clay powder 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil 1 tablespoon rosewater.

Mix the Epsom salt, sea salts and vitamin E oil in large mixing bowl.

Add borax and baking soda after the vitamin E oil is well mixed.

Add the rest of the dry ingredients.

Set aside for twelve hours or until oil has been fully mixed with salt. It has sat long enough when the salt is no longer moist.

Add rosewater. Mix well.

Pour one cup of this mixture into the bathwater. This makes enough salts for about 6-7 baths, so have some more baths in the coming weeks.

Simple bath salt soak

Gather the ingredients. For this mineral bath, you'll need: 16 ounces all-natural bath salt or Epsom salt 15 to 30 drops of essential oil.

Place the bath or Epsom salt in a mixing bowl. Add the drops of essential oil and mix through well.

Transfer to a glass storage container.

Use in the bath. For each standard bath, use about one third to a half a cup of the salt soak.

Peppermint and chamomile mineral soak

Gather the ingredients. For this mineral bath, you'll need: 2 1/2 cups Epsom salt 1/2 cup olive oil 3/4 cup body wash 1 peppermint teabag 1 chamomile teabag 10 drops of favorite essential oil (e.g., lavender or ylang ylang).

Tip the contents from the teabags into a mixing bowl. Add the Epsom salt and mix in well.

Pour the body wash into the salt mixture. Stir to combine.

Add the olive and essential oils, doing so gradually. Mix to combine thoroughly.

Transfer to a glass storage container with a lid. Place the lid on tightly. Allow to infuse for a few days before using.

To use, simply pour a little amount into the bathwater.

Baking soda, salt and oil bath

Gather the ingredients. For this mineral bath, you'll need: 1 cup Epsom salts 10 drops lavender essential oil 1/2 cup baking soda.

Fill the bath. As the bath is filling , tip the salts and oil into the bath.

Add the baking soda just before the bath finishes filling. Swill it around the bath to incorporate it.

Step into the bath. Luxuriate in the uplifting salts and relaxing lavender scent.

What's your reaction?
