Question - I would like top make my own bath salts what should I use as a base & how can I colour them

A My favourite base is Epsom salts which were a common bath treat in Victorian times (available from most high street chemists in kilo bags) mixed with the pure natural sea salt. You can also buy from Potions & Possibilities £14.99 for 5 kilos.

Mineral rich salts are believed to have a beneficial effect on aching joints but blended with essential oils they can be wonderfully relaxing. . Add no more than 4 drops of essential oil per tablespoon & blend well. For colour, use food colouring or frutit tea leaves & mix well.

Use Lavender Essential Oil for aches & pains & sleep problems. Geranium Essential Oil as an aid to relaxation & Peppermint Essential Oil for fatigue & to help concentration
