Soothing Green Tea and Peppermint DIY Bath Salts

By A Cultivated Nest Team

Spring has sprung around here! While half of the days are still rather brisk, the other half are nice and warm. Which means I’ve been starting to get back into the garden! It’s okay if there are a few more freezing nights, as I have plenty of cleanup and prep to do before I’m ready to do any serious gardening. But after having not done much gardening the last few months, I’m out of shape! I come inside all achy and sore, and ready to soak in a nice bath. The only thing that could make a hot bath better? These Soothing Green Tea and Peppermint DIY Bath Salts! Here’s how I made mine!

Soothing Green Tea and Peppermint DIY Bath Salts- Tired and achy after working out at the gym or working in your garden? Then you should relax in a bath with these green tea and peppermint DIY bath salts! This homemade bath soak is so soothing, and if you put it in a jar it makes a great gift! | essential oils, easy homemade gift idea, #diy #beauty #diyGifts #bathSalts

Epsom salts are always my go-to for deep relaxation. But the other ingredients in this homemade bath soak will make your bath even more relaxing than if you just threw some Epsom salts in the water! The next time you’re sore, or just want a really nice bath, you have to make these homemade bath salts!

Benefits

1. The Epsom salts will ease stress and relax muscles.
2. Sea salt contains magnesium, calcium and potassium which help absorb toxins in the body.
3. Green tea contains anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants that soothe irritated skin.
4. Peppermint essential oil can act as a natural muscle relaxant by soothing achy muscles. It is also known for easing sinus congestion.

    Bath salts are amazing! Aside from their soothing properties, they are also very invigorating and relaxing! I specifically use bath salts for exfoliation too! 🙂
