Earth Bath Salt #1
1/2 cup Epsom salts
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup rock salt
1/2 teaspoon vitamin E
2 teaspoons light oil (almond, sunflower...)
20 drops Patchouli essential oil
15 drops Cypress essential oil
5 drops Vetivert essential oil
Green Food coloring
Mix all salts & baking soda together. Then combine oil, essential oils,
vitamin E & a few drops of coloring in a separate bowl. Add liquid to
salts and mix thoroughly. You can add more green food-coloring if
desired, but I find it nicer when it's a very light green as it does not
look as artificial. To use: Add a few heaping tablespoons to bath.

Bath Salt #2
Use equal amounts of:
epsom salts
table salt
baking soda
Mix and add desired food coloring (I like to use the cream type) and
essential oils. Put in jars, decorate, and give as gifts. We have used
jelly jars, jars from drinks...use your imagination and recycle.
