How to Make Aromatherapy Bath Salts Fit for a Queen



Make these unique bath salts to make anyone feel like a queen. They don't just smell exquisite, they are also great for the skin and the mind. They aren't very difficult to make it just takes a bit to put everything together.







Things You'll Need:





8 oz. Celtic Sea Salts




2 oz. Baking Soda




1 tbsp. Grapeseed Oil




2 tsp. Vegetable Glycerin




30 drops Sandalwood (Santalum Album) Essential Oil




24 drops Rose (Rosa Damascena) Essential Oil

10 100IU Vitamin E gel capsules




Pin




Small glass mixing bowl




Medium glass mixing bowl




wooden spoon




Pint sized glass or plastic container with cover







How to Make Aromatherapy Bath Salts Fit for a Queen




1


With the pin and vitamin E capsules, poke a hole in one end of capsules and squeeze oil into the small glass mixing bowl. You may need to wipe your hands off once in a while to remove the extra vitamin E so the other capsules don't slip while you are puncturing them.





2


Then mix the grapeseed oil, vegetable glycerin and essential oils with the vitamin E. The vitamin E and glycerin are a bit thick but will mix together with the grapeseed and essential oils after a bit.





3


In large bowl-add the sea salt first and add the baking soda to the top of the sea salt. Mix together. This doesn't take much to mix together since the sea salt is added to the top of the sea salt.





4


Pour the liquids from the small mixing bowl over the sea salts and baking soda. Mix together, again this doesn't take much to do, occasionally scrap the side of the bowl if anything sticks to the side of it.





5


Carefully spoon the mixture into the container, place cover on tightly, you're done.





6


Next, to enjoy it in a bath-add 2 to 3 tbsp. into a full tub of warm water. Sit back, relax, enjoy and feel like a queen as the scent takes you away.
