Bath Salt Ingredients:

How to mix bath salts using essential oils to soothe sore muscles:

1. Add Epsom salts to a medium sized bowl.
2. Then add in citric acid.
3. Add in all essential oils.
4. Then add dried lavender.
5. Add food coloring (you can skip this step if you would like).
6. Give everything a good stir until well combined.

Then store in an air tight container until ready to use (a mason jar is perfect for this).
