You will need:
120g Epsom salts
120g pink Himalayan salt
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
10 drops each of your choice of essential oils (we used Moroccan rose, lavender and chamomile)
1 tbsp dried flower petals (we used rose, lavender and chamomile)
Airtight glass jar (a Mason jar
or apothecary jar look pretty)
Equipment:
Bowl
Spoon
For giving:
Ribbon and gift tag
1 Mix the salts and bicarbonate of soda in a small bowl.
2 Add 10 drops each of your essential oils and mix together, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. Then add the dried flower petals.
3 Decant the bath salts into your jar and decorate with a ribbon and gift tag with your message and the following instructions: “Dissolve a handful of salts in a hot bath. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.”
These bath salts are just one of the makes from our feature, The Personal Touch, in our November issue, taken from The Art of Gifting Naturally by Angela Maynard (Hardie Grant).
