Easy Lavender and Chamomile Bath Salts

There is something so soothing about the routine of filling up the bath. Getting the homemade bath salts recipe ready and filling the tub with warm water and inhaling the aroma of the essential oils.

Spending time in hot water also helped with inflammation, according to the study’s results. Bathers experienced an anti-inflammatory response in the body similar to what happens after people exercise according to U.K.’s National Centre for Sport & Exercise Medicine.

One thing that makes my bath experience with my homemade bath salts so heavenly is my bath pillow. I looked all over for the perfect bath pillow. I didn’t want a plastic pillow, and I wanted one that would support my neck in our large bathtub.

One thing I love so much about using the herbs in the tea bags, is you get the benefits of using fresh herbs without all the mess when you let the water out. So easy to clean up when it’s just in a tea bag!

Beyond its skin-healing powers, lavender essential oil also has also anti-anxiety effects and decreases premenstrual emotional symptoms. Take a bath with oils to aid sleep, promote relaxation, manage stress and lift the mood.

Chamomile Benefits

Chamomile can calm nerves and reduce anxiety. It also increases the secretion of serotonin and melatonin hormones in the body that reduces symptoms of chronic anxiety and stress. There are so many antioxidants that provide relief from skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, acne, sunburn and rosacea.

Lavender Health Benefits

Some studies suggest lavender can improve your body’s melatonin levels which can support a better night’s rest. Lavender also helps with mood, anxiety and depression. Lavender is known for its ability to calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety and depression.

Benefits of Epsom Salts

Epsom salts are a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate with many health benefits as well as many beauty, household, and gardening-related uses.

According to the Saltworks company, bathing in Dead Sea salt may be particularly beneficial because it contains an array of minerals that include potassium, which helps to balance skin moisture; bromides, which reduce muscle pain and stiffness; and sodium, which improves the circulation of lymphatic fluid.
