Seaweed Bath Salts DIY

These bath salts make my skin so soft, and they are full of minerals that our bodies need and can absorb through our skin. Plus is smells so good! Watch the viedeo below, or if you prefer to watch it on youtube click HERE



I love to use epsoms salt in every bath that I take because it has loads of magnesium that is so important for our bodies. Magnesium is important for nearly every function of the body. You need it for proper nerve and muscle function, blood glucose control, and energy production among many many other processes. Magnesium can be a bit difficult to get enough of, but thankfully it is readily absorbed by the skin and we can take advantage of that by taking baths with epsom salt. This recipe also uses powdered kelp which is a seaweed that is chock full of nutrients. When we put nutritious elements in our baths we can take in those nutrents and use them without needing to drink them. Like who likes seaweed unless its on sushi anyway? Ooo, those seaweed chip things are pretty good!


Ingredients 

  • 20 drops of essential oils such as eucalyptus, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, myrtil, etc.
  • 1 cup epsoms salt
  • 3/4 cup sea salt
  • 3 TBSP powdered kelp


Mix to combine. Store in an airtight container. Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup in a nice warm bath.

*In the video I say to use dulse. Dulse is not the same as kelp but can be found in the same area. I'm not sure if it would work as well.
