Epsom Salts can provide other benefits in a bath for sore muscles as well. They are often used in a hot bath to help provide relief from sore muscles. The magnesium in the Epsom salts is particularly helpful with this.

Magnesium is a big component of Epsom salts and magnesium is important for your body to properly flush lactic acid from your muscles after a workout. And when you bath in Epson salts, your body will absorb magnesium from the salts.

Adding essential oils to your bath salts can be beneficial in so many ways! Essential oils can help to support many different systems in your body and they can also help you relax and unwind after a long day.

The essential oils in this bath salt recipe are perfect because they can help provide a wonderfully calm and relaxing atmosphere. And some of these oils are good for occasional muscle support after a workout.

Why is there citric acid in your bath salts recipe?

Citric Acid adds that fun "fizzy-ness" when you pour your bath salts into your hot water. If you don't want to use this, you can leave it out.

For a project like this, especially where you are using essential oils in a bath so they will be next to your skin, I think it is important to use only the best essential oils out there. Through my research, I have found that Young Living is the only company that I trust to use in my home and on my family. You can learn more about Essential Oils and also how to get your hands on some HERE.

Be careful using store bought essential oils. Many of them say on the label not to use them topically. That is because that bottle is not completely full of pure, good quality essential oil.

A bottle only needs to be 5% essential oil to be able to be labelled as pure. I've also seen essential oils in the store that say 100% natural on the front and on the back under ingredients it says "fragrance." Fragrance is not natural.

So just do your research and be careful in what you use. That’s why I now only recommend using Young Living essential oils. (In the past, I too have used other fragrance oils because I didn’t know better. But I know better now and so I no longer use them!)
