Herbal Muscle Soak

By Jody Smith

Aches and pains are just a natural part of life- from working out, gardening, moving furniture, lifting up our babies, or other everyday activities. It interrupts your day and often keeps you from doing what needs to get done, but it doesn’t always have to. Minor aches and sometimes even more troublesome pains can be alleviated using this all-natural Herbal Muscle Soak!

While aches and pains are a natural part of life, they can be annoying. Soothe your sore muscles in a relaxing bath with this DIY herbal muscle soak!

Simple ingredients that you are likely to already have on hand can help loosen joints, relax muscles, and chase away pain in this sore muscle bath soak. Of course I included my favorite essential oils, as they are good for everything from freshening up the smell of your home to cleaning your produce!

Herbal Muscle Soak

This makes enough for about 3 baths.

1. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. I like to mix mine well with a whisk as it seems to incorporate everything very well.
2. Once your mixture is ready, transfer it to a jar with a tight fitting lid.

To Use

Add 1 heaping cup of your herbal muscle soak to your bathtub under warm running water.

Note: While essential oils can be very helpful, if you are having serious health issues, don’t rely on them- see a doctor instead.

    I often use epsom salt soaks to relax and detox at night…especially in winter when the warm water feel wonderful. Thanks for sharing at Welcome Home Wednesdays. We love seeing your posts!
