From "Natural Beauty at Home" by Janice Cox






List of Ingredients



• 1 cup Epsom salts
  
• 1/4 cup kosher salt or sea salt, coarsely ground (see Note)
  
• Food coloring
  
• Essential oils, such as peppermint, coconut, or bitter orange (optional)
  






Instructions



1. Mix together the Epsom salts and kosher salt. Add a few drops of your favorite color and stir well to blend. (Blue and green are pretty shades to use.) If you would like to scent your bath salts, add a few drops of the essential oils.
   
   
2. Pour the salts into a container with a lid, or into a resealable plastic bag and close tightly.
   
   
3. When you are drawing a bath, add about 1/4 cup of these bath salts under the running water.
   
   Yield: 10 ounces
