| Bath Salts |
| In rituals and everyday life baths are wonderful things. Bath salts are easy to make and there are many reasons for use. They can be used with a magickal purpose in mind, used in rituals baths to cleanse, and everyday to relax. Another common use of bath salts is that of healing. If you do not have bath salts, fresh herbs can be added to water also, provided they are safe for contact with your skin. For relaxation add lavender, chamomile, sage, sandalwood, vanilla, tangerine rind, thyme, or rose to your bath. If you wish to energise yourself then rosewood, patchouli, lemon, lime, yarrow, bay, rosemary, or peppermint. Also, I find geranium, jasmine, rosemary, and orange peel to be very uplifting. It's best if you put herbs in while you are running your water. Oatmeal baths are very beneficial too. Oatmeal is good for conditioning the skin and deep cleansing. To have an oatmeal bath place about a cupful of well ground oatmeal in a small cheesecloth or muslim (or any loosely woven fabric) bag and sew closed. This is then used as a sponge and can be used for three baths. Bath salts are easy to make and store very well. Take 3 cups sea salt (or Epsom salt) and add 3 tablespoons whatever your herbs are. For most herbs I use the ratio of a tablespoon of herb to a cup of salt. After you've added all your herbs then mix throughly. Store your bath salts in an air-tight container and let them age at least a month before using. If you wish the scent of your salts to be stronger, then you can add essential oils to the salt with the herbs or just the oils. In most cases about a fourth a cup of salts is needed for a bath.
