FACT: You don't need to spend a fortune on bath soaks and salts, you can make your own with a few simple ingredients.
Taking a bath is one of those things that most people rarely do, yet when they do, they wonder why they don't do it more often. A 20-30 minute soak in a hot mineral infused bath has always been my go-to when I need to escape the day, or I'm feeling down or stressed. And today I am going to share with you my favorite DIY bath soak recipe. It's restorative, simple, and inexpensive.
A rescue bath with a cup of hot chamomile tea (or a glass of wine when I am really stressed) combined with crawling directly into bed with freshly laundered sheets is well, heavenly. Nothing compares.

1/8 cup of bentonite clay

Place all dry ingredients in a large metal or glass bowl, mix to blend. Drizzle essential oils into the batch and mix well with your hands. Store in a tightly sealed mason jar.
To Use:
Add 1 cup of this salt soak to hot bath water. Soak for 20 minutes. Let it all go. Relax. Inhale. Enjoy.
