Epsom Salt & Lavender Bath

About
This wonderful bath can help you unwind after a hectic day. As oil tends to float, the epsom salts help disperse the oils in the water. This method creates a more enjoyable bath than using oils alone. You can use other essential oils in this recipe depending on your personal preferences. Lavender is soothing & calming, rose geranium is sensual and orange is energizing.
