Epsom Salt is actually VERY beneficial to persons with high blood pressure. It's a mineral compound composed of magnesium and sulfur in the form of Magnesium Sulfate. Magnesium, an electrolyte, actually lowers blood pressure and is readily absorbed by the skin. I started using Epsom Salt for muscle and joint pain. The uses and benefits of Epsom Salt are wide range and significant. Uses include health, beauty and gardening. The Epsom Salt Council website is an informative and interesting site.

Bath Cookies
2 cups finely ground sea salt
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 T light oil
1 tsp vitamin E oil
2 eggs
5-6 drops essential oil
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Mix together all the ingredients.
Take a teaspoon of the dough and roll it gently into a ball (about an inch in diameter).
Continue doing this with all the dough and place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, until they are lightly browned. Do not over bake. Allow the cookies to cool completely. To use: drop 1 or 2 cookies into a warm bath and allow to dissolve.
24 cookies, enough for 12 baths.

I was wondering if there is a easy way to make your own bath salts. I love to relax in the bath and I get gift baskets all the time. I love the bath salts and was just wondering. It would be greatly appreciated because I have to give a gift basket in july.

I cannot remember the ladies name. She requested how to make homemade bath salts. I saw a recipe somewhere on the web. Here goes.
- 2C Epsom salt, or Dead sea salt. Or 1 C of each.
- 1-2 tsp. baking soda (makes skin soft)
- 10-12 drops of essential oil, vanilla, lavender, eucalyptus whatever you like.
You can add a small amount of food coloring paste (kind used for cake decorating). Only if desired.
Stir salt really well. The more you stir the more the smell comes out.
Pour into pretty glass jars. Mason, baby food, jelly etc.
Add several TBSP bath salt into warm bath water. (01/09/2005)
