So, let’s talk fun gifts for your family and friends who enjoy taking baths — Bath Salts are the perfect thing!
Let’s talk Epsom Salts
First of all, epsom salts are incredible beneficial for the body. The main ingredient in epsom salts is magnesium, a mineral our body desperately need.
Magnesium helps regulate more than 325 enzymes and “performs a vital role in orchestrating many bodily functions, from muscle control and electrical impulses to energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins.” (Universal Health Institute.)
Other benefits (just to name a few…) are:
- Ease stress and improves sleep and concentration
- Help muscles and nerves function properly
- Regulate activity of 325+ enzymes
- Help prevent artery hardening and blood clots
- Make insulin more effective
- Reduce inflammation to relieve pain and muscle cramps.
- Improve oxygen use
AND, researchers have also discovered the best way to get enzymes into your body if via the skin and soaking!
(This information also comes from the report from Universal Health Institute. You can read the report for yourself here. Definitely worth the read!)
Tailor-Made Bath Salts
And, when you add Young Living essential oils, you can pick and choose the perfect mixture of oils to make your gift especially thoughtful, creating the perfect blend for them!
Begin by assessing the person’s needs. There are so many different types of bath salts you can create. I regularly have four jars of pre-made bath salts in my own linen closet. That way, when it is time to take a bath (and I regularly do), I select the bath “theme” I need and choose the salt that will fit it.
I have bath salts for: relaxation, energy, manifesting and immune support. I will share my recipes, but know you can be creative! I keep it to 12-15 drops of oil per two cups of salt and then use 1 cup of the oil-infused salt per bath.
I use 2 cup ball jars for my salts. I begin by adding 1 cup of salt then half of the essential oils. Then I pour in the rest of the salt and the rest of the oils. This helps the mixing process. Then I shake and shake and shake. It takes significantly more shaking of the jar than you would think it would!
