Lavender Mineral Bath
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup solar dried sea salts
- 1/4 cup Epsom salts
- 1/4 cup dead sea mineral salts
- 40 drops lavender Essential Oil (EO*)
Directions:
Mix all ingredients well (adding EO last). Store in a glass jar or tin and use 1/4 cup per bath!
*I make my essential oils which, if anyone wants, I can tell you how! EO means it was made with something like Olive Oil, it takes longer to make than just oils.
Lavender Bubble Bath
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch lavender
- 1 large bottle clear organic shampoo
- 5 drops oil of Lavender
- clean wide-neck jar with screw top.
Directions:
Place Lavender head down in the jar. Cut down to fit. Add shampoo and Lavender oil. Close and place in sunny window. Strain and re-bottle. Use 1 Tbsp. in a bath. This is great for the nighttime bath; really great for kids!
Lavender Getaway Bath
For a soothing winter bath, put 2 tablespoons of lavender buds (
Lavandula angustifolia) and 2 tablespoons of finely ground oatmeal into a small muslin bag or a piece of cloth. Secure tightly with a string or rubber band. Tie the bundle with the string or a piece of ribbon so that it hangs under the spigot of your bathtub. Once the bath is full, try rubbing the bundle gently over your skin. Both the lavender and the oatmeal will work to soothe dry skin and calm frazzled nerves as well.

I would love to know how to make my own oils. I don't particularly like lavender. I am, however, very partial to rose! Your recipes are so easy to. Thanks for sharing!
